Peninsula de Cortes Golf Course at Mayan Palace is ready to welcome the 2012 March Golf Challenge March 24 – 25th. Andrew Gilchrist, Course Director at Peninsula de Cortes, tells us though spots for the Challenge filled up quickly, golf aficionados and the public in general is invited to come to the course and watch the event from the club’s spacious terrace, or even to take part in a Chipping Contest on Saturday around 2 p.m., plus…all are asked to bring non-perishable foods that will be donated to the Santa Claus Club. In addition to food donations, Gilchrist tells us they will be donating 2 wheelchairs to the Casa Hogar home for the elderly.
As part of the events surrounding this year’s March Challenge, the Mayan will be officially launching its SNAG© (Starting New at Golf) program, being the only hotel chain in Mexico offering SNAG© (www.snaggolf.com) For additional information, contact golfpuertopenasco@grupovidanta.com
