THE 15th annual Caribbean Golf Classic was held in the picturesque city of Montego Bay from May 12-16. The four days saw players from 10 Caribbean countries competing across stunning golf courses such as White Witch, Half Moon and Cinnamon Hill. The Caribbean community was represented by the US Virgin Islands, Barbados, the Cayman Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Puerto Rico, The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands, the Dominican Republic and, of course, the host country, Jamaica.

After each hard day of golf, players were shuttled back to the host hotel, Rose Hall Resort and Spa to either celebrate each day's victory or drown their sorrows at the Appleton Estate Jamaica Hospitality bar which served them many cocktails from 1 to 5 p.m. They served speciality signature cocktails to each entrant. It soon appeared that Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum aided the Jamaican team in victory because they certainly demonstrated the 'golden touch' by placing first, and the women's team placed third. The Jamaican team emerged overall winners of the tournament. The Dominican Republic's women's team, however, placed first while the Trinidadian team took second place in the tournament.

Appleton Estate Jamaica Rum was pleased to once again be associated with the sport of golf and plans to continue doing so.
