\u201cI feel very excited, not only for this recognition, but also because I have had the great opportunity to see that in my country they have closely followed my work of more than 50 years in this sport. I have a life dedicated to golf, a toil that includes offering seminars, working on the rules, calibrating courses, more than 26 years belonging to the USGA in which I was able to work on rules in 10 US Opens, and I am a founding member of the Caribbean Golf Association (CGA) in 1986, so I have a very long history in sports that also includes a long career as a volleyball referee, so I greatly appreciate this recognition\u201d,<\/p>\n\nRivera<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In previous editions, the tournament has honored prominent figures from the business and golf world, including Don Teodoro Garc\u00eda Trabadelo, Homero Savi\u00f1\u00f3n, Kalil Hach\u00e9, Miguel Flaquer, Abel Gonz\u00e1lez (Cayo), Francisco Melo, Ernesto Izquierdo, Eusebio N\u00fa\u00f1ez Malena, George Bell, Jos\u00e9 Zapata, Rafael Villalona, Jos\u00e9 -Mi\u00f1\u00edn- Soto, Luis Alc\u00e1ntara, Marcos Troncoso, and Paul Scheer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe thank this club for receiving us. This dedication is very special to us because of how special Don C\u00e9sar is to us. What better way to celebrate our 18th tournament than by paying tribute to a great figure of Dominican golf who has always been on the side of the best interests of this sport\u201d,<\/p>\n\nAntonio Ramis, general director of the Dominican-Catalan Group and the Punta Blanca Golf and Beach Club<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
