Havana Invitational and Cigar Lover's Golf Classic"
Havana, Republic of Cuba
Although it has already been (5) years since Last Frontier Expeditions
founded the "1st Havana Invitational Golf Tournament,' some things have not
changed that much. The 100 year old, nine hole, Havana Diplomat's course is
still operating and almost exactly like we last left it. Thankfully, our good
friend and golf professional, Jorge Duque & the caddies, are still in charge
and willing to put up with us "hackers." But, the new (18 hole) golf course
at Veradero beach is now open and scenically occupies the grounds of the
former Dupont Estate called Xanadu. This year's tour will be better than ever
and will include a very exclusive "Partagas 158th Cigar Anniversary Dinner."
