David Ortiz Celebrity Golf Classic - 12/3

This one is for the ballers/golfers out there. Normally, I only write about stuff going on in Boston, but this one involves Red Sox players and a magical place that I visited last year called Cap Cana.

On December 3-6, 2009, Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz will host the second annual David Ortiz Celebrity Golf Classic at Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic. The star-studded event benefits the David Ortiz Children’s Fund, providing children in New England and the Dominican Republic access to the pediatric critical care they need to live full and productive lives.

The annual event is held at Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic, one of the most spectacular resort communities in the world. Guests will stay at the five-star luxury Sanctuary Cap Cana Golf & Spa, overlooking the turquoise waters and pristine beaches of the Caribbean Sea. The tournament itself will take place at the Jack Nicklaus-design and signature golf course, Punta Espada. The 72-hole resort, selected as The Best Golf Course in the Caribbean and Mexico by Golf Week Magazine, has eight holes that play spectacularly along the Caribbean Sea, with stunning views of the white sand beaches.

When I went to DR, we stayed in Punta Cana, but we took a day trip out to Capa Cana and let me tell you, if you were to ask me to describe it, I'd tell you to picture your favorite Corona commercial with the beaches and palm trees and white sand - that's what Cap Cana is like.

PS. Now is a good time to start requesting vacation days for December.
