With a strong participation of over 10 golf enthusiasts, the golf practice season of the “Spanish American Club, Inc.” concluded on Friday, December 27, at the “The Saints” golf course (72 par course) in the city of Port St. Lucie.

Edward “Ed” Seubert from the United States took first place with a total score of 78 (Average scores) and 29 (Average points). In second place was Colombian Gustavo “Gus” Migliore with 88/18. In third place was Mexican Fernando Mejía with an average of 91/17. Fourth place went to Puerto Rican Neftali “Nefty” Rivera with an average of 90/17, and in fifth place was yours truly with 93/14. Also participating were Roberto Belardo (P.R.) with 95/12, Luis Rosa (P.R.) with 96/12, Gil Hulting (USA) with 96/12, Nick Arnell (St. Martin) with 97/08, Rubén Alemán (P.R) with 98/06, Carlos Bonet (P.R.) with 99/04, and Jorge “Papito” Pérez with 100/02.

Other players who participated in the season last year included the following: Ruben Sánchez (P.R.), Tony Colón (P.R.), Manny Carcel (P.R.), Jaime Rojas (Colombia), Pete Marrero (P.R.), Mike Pérez (D.R.), Bernie Jethroe (USA), and Ralph Morrison (Barbados). Every Wednesday after 12 PM (winter) or 11 AM (summer), they participate in the “Try Outs” since the group was formed over 20 years ago. Some bet on the Par 3 holes (Greenies and Sandies) and others on the total points (1 for a Bogey, 2 for Par, and 3 for Birdie) for each hole. The group’s hope is to unite Hispanic golfers and hold a golf tournament at the end of the season to raise funds for the scholarship offered by the club to Hispanic students from low-income areas.
