 | Golf PARa Todos to Kick Off its 5th Season July 17 |
|
For the fifth consecutive season, the Mayakoba Golf Classic (MGC) and El Camaleón Golf Club will host its popular monthly community initiative, Golf PARa Todos . During the last edition of Golf PARa Todos, on January 23, the program broke the Guinness World Record for the Largest Golf Lesson with 1,073 participants. The record was previously held by Pine Valley in Beijing, China.
The MGC invites you, your family and friends to join us Sunday, July 17, at 2 p.m. for Golf PARa Todos.
Golf PARa Todos is open to all members of the community without cost and features:
- Individual and group golf lessons for participants of all ages and skill level
- Complimentary food and refreshments
- Raffle prizes
Each month several members of the community, known as the "Amigos” of Golf PARa Todos, donate their time to staff the events and share their experience, knowledge and excitement for golf with you. The Amigos will be ready and available to help you get the most out of your Golf PARa Todos experience.
Golf PARa Todos aims to create a fun-filled, diverse and educational program that teaches about the game of golf and its ideals. The program encourages active participation in the game as a participant and as a fan, and facilitates the integration of golf into the lives of all those within the community.
The program is free and is open to people of all ages and backgrounds. No previous knowledge of golf is necessary.

The MGC through its community program, Golf PARa Todos and the Sport Institute of Solidaridad have begun a collaborative effort to integrate golf into the lives of the youth of Solidaridad.
As an initial step in this new partnership, Physical Education Coordinators for the municipality were invited to take their first golf lesson at El Camaleón Golf Course, taught by Marcos Zuazu of the Jim McLean Golf School, so they could experience the game first hand.
