Mayor salutes golf advisers

Michael Belnavis, mayor of St Ann’s Bay and councillor for the Ocho Rios Division, has expressed heartfelt thanks to the 100 travel agents who participated in the 22nd annual Sandals United States Travel Advisors Golf Tournament at the Upton Estate Golf and Country Club in St Mary.

The two-day event attracted the largest group of travel agents ever to participate in any of the three tournaments staged annually by the resort chain to promote Jamaica as a golfing destination. The others are the Latin American tournament and its long-running counterpart, the Baxter Media Canadian Travel Advisors Tournament.

Team Nicklaus, comprising Megan Sams, Alan Granza, James Rotoreau and Lauren Rotoreau, won by a commanding 10 strokes ahead of Team Palmer’s Christopher Cirella, Amanda Veith, Joey Alfonso and Bing Alfonso.
