Golf Anyone?

Hola Comadres,

Ever thought about playing golf? Already play and love it? Thinking of practicing your full swing; back swing…oh wait that tennis…shows you what I know about golf. Why not get some info about the game from the ONLY LATINO Golf Course Owner, Juilia Baez Prebula. Check out our interview with her and feel free to contact her directly for more information!
