CONCURRED PAN E VINO GOLF TOURNAMENT
The concurred Pan e Vino Tournament
was held last Sunday, 11th of May, on the Valle del
Sol Golf Course, with 15 professional national players
disputing over a $2.500 prize which was conquered
by Juan Marín. 110 amateur players were divided
in three categories: the champions category was won
by Arturo Montealegre for net score and Jaime Jiménez

Umaña and Category B by Luis Diego Madriz.
There were excellent prizes, such as the Range Rover

Del boletín "Leader Board"
de la GCSA del mes de Febrero del 2003, les reproducimos
estas notas.
GOLF DOES'T FAVOR THE BIG AND THE
STRONG…
Size matters in all the major sports, except for golf.
Taller and stronger golfers do not gain a significant
advantage over their shorter counterparts by swinging
longer-shafted drivers. The optimum combination of
shaft length and club head weight has little relation
to the size, strength and sex of the golfer. Instead,
it depends solely on a golfer's swing velocity.
...DO LEFTIES HAVE AN ADVANTAGE?
Since lefties are "wired" differently, widespread
speculation is that the inherently excel in sports.
Statistic seem to show that the number of left-handers
in sports closely reflects the 9 to 10 percent found
in the general population, but in some sports - especially
those that require quick reflexes, such as boxing,
golfing and tennis - there regularly are much higher
percentages of lefties found among the top ranks.
