As an American living in Colombia, South America, Tony Ciabattoni's world has changed dramatically. Growing up learning to love and appreciate the sport of golf, he now finds himself in a metropolitan area of 1.5 million people with only two private golf courses and absolutely no place for the average citizen, especially children, to learn and play. Now he is helping to make his new community a better -- and more fun -- place, especially for the kids.
"I grew up playing public golf, and never dreamed that there were places with no public golf courses," said Tony. "It became my
DREAM that I could positively affect the lives of an entire
metropolitan area."
