The Island Chapter traveled to Costa Caribe Wednesday, September 23, 2009 for the annual Pro-Am event at the Ponce facility. Calm conditions made for low professional scores with five Island Chapter professionals shooting (-3) or better. In a tie for second place were professionals Rafael Castrillo Jr. 69, Fernando Bobonis 69, Jason Tobar 69, and Aaron West 69. The tournament winner Eduardo Figueroa shot a tournament low 67 (-5) for the victory. Thank you to Erik Krahn, Costa Caribe General Manager, Juan Antonio Loyola PGA head professional and the Serralles family for their hospitality hosting the Island Chapter for the second of three times this 2009 season.
