SUGAR GOLF TOURNAMENT

This April, Alfy Fanjul hosted the 38th Annual Sugar Golf Tournament at Casa de Campo, welcoming over 300 guest golfers from around the globe to participate in a tradition that has stood the test of time. This year, the ladies competed on the Dye Fore (Lakes/Marina) and the Links, while the gentlemen played on the Teeth of the Dog and the La Romana Country Club course.

Following the tournament, golfers and their guests gathered at the La Romana Country Club for a highly anticipated party and prize-giving ceremony. Amid a vibrant atmosphere filled with friendly conversations and laughter, attendees sipped poolside cocktails while first-time participants mingled with seasoned veterans who have been competing for over thirty years. Alfy Fanjul, the esteemed host, expressed his unwavering support and his gratitude to the guests for their attendance before the buffet-style dinner commenced.

Joined by his daughters, Crista Ryan and Lillian Fernandez, and his longtime friend Jamie Niven, Alfy Fanjul presented the winners of the tennis, padel tennis and golf tournaments with a variety of impressive prizes, including elegant jewelry crafted by Everett Designs for the women, custom-tailored suits designed by Paolo Pontiggia for the men and well-deserved trophies.

In the ladies’ tournament, Paola Del Vecchio and Marina Gelati emerged as the winners, with Crista Ryan and Maria Jose Oliva as the gross winners. Meanwhile, in the men’s division, a rare tie occurred, with the team of Lin Rogers and Ramón Brenas and the team of Rolando González-Bunster and Kevin Mahaney named the co-winners of this year’s Jamie Niven Cup.
