RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico -- Numerous celebrities attended the first annual Celebrity Cancer Golf Classic held at Coco Beach Golf & Country Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico.
Most notable were Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez. The golf tournament and awards luncheon raised more than $100,000 for two Puerto Rican cancer facilities (Hospital Auxilio Mutuo Cancer Center and Sociedad America del Cancer).
Also in attendance were singer/actor Chayanne; future MLB Hall of Famer Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez, catcher for the Detroit Tigers; Three-time Boxing World Champion Felix "Tito" Trinidad; PGA Champions Tour golfer Chi Chi Rodriquez; Puerto Rico's Governor Anibal Acevedo Vila and other local Puerto Rican celebrities and TV personalities.
Coco Beach Golf & Country Club was developed by Coco Beach Golf & Country Club, S.E., a private partnership led by Betteroads Asphalt Corporation, the largest and leading asphalt producer and paving company in the Caribbean. The facility currently includes a 36-hole Tom Kite/Bruce Besse-designed layout with extensive practice facility. The 36-holes at Coco Beach were designed as four different nines (the Mountain Course, the Ocean Course, the Lakes Course and the Palms Course) to provide golfers with four different experiences within one golf resort. Coco Beach also features a 46,000 sq. ft. oceanfront Clubhouse complete with two restaurants (Paradise Bay Grill and Greens Lounge), Men's and Women's Lockers and Lounges and a Golf Shop. Future developments include a Beach & Pool Club and an exclusive residential community. The golf development lies within the Coco Beach Resort, a 1,000- acre beachfront development that includes the 500 all-suite all-inclusive five-star Paradisus Puerto Rico. Coco Beach Golf & Country Club is managed by Southworth Golf Management, an affiliate of Southworth Development LLC of Newton, Massachusetts. Southworth Development is a privately held company specializing in the development of residential resort and hospitality branded real estate communities.
