¿Juega golf?
Por Herman Santa
Los socios y amigos del “Spanish American Club, Inc.”(SACI) continuan jugando golf en el campo de golf de “The Saint” en Port St. Lucie. Todos los miercoles después de las 12 de la mañana. Herman Santa, Luis Rosa, Nick Arnell, Mike Smith, Doug Bortz, Ralph Harrison, Bernie Jethroe, Roberto Belardo, Gil Hulting, Don Taber, Jaime Rojas, Neftalí Rivera and Jorge Pérez están participando en los “Try Outs” desde que se formó el grupo hace más de 20 años.
Se empieza hasta que se llegue a los veinte juegos para determinar el “Handicap” de cada jugador. Algunos apuestan en los hoyos de “Par 3” y otros en el total de puntos (1 punto por el Boggie, 2 puntos por el Par, etc.) al final del juego. La esperanza del grupo es unir a los golfistas hispanos y hacer un torneo de golf al final de la temporada para recaudar fondos para la beca que ofrece el club a estudiantes hispanos de bajos ingresos. Las personas que estén interesadas en unirse al grupo pueden llamar a Herman o visitor el clubhouse los miercoles. !Ha Jugar golf se ha dicho!
