Forty-seven years after golf was virtually wiped off the island of Cuba, the game may soon make a comeback, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Cuban tourism officials are reportedly considering a major investment in new golf courses across the island to boost its sagging tourism industry.
''The message coming from the Cubans is: bring us golf projects,'' Mark Entwistle, a former Canadian ambassador to Cuba who represents one investor group, told the Times. A dozen golf projects around the island are on the drawing board, the newspaper added, each consisting of hundreds of villas and apartments built around the courses.
