The early days of the Cedar Valley Golf Club was much as it is today with a majority of local Antiguan sportsmen and of expats and local Brits, some Americans and visiting tourists.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Club was raised by locals in a real mix of mostly men with a chain of women over the time keeping it real, with a healthy family golfing atmosphere, and raising three generations of Michael Golfers.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>

Granville Michael, recently deceased, and his brother Earl Michael, also deceased, both former cricketers, were two Cedar Valley foundation golfers, and Granville in particular pulled along his three young sons along producing two Cedar Valley Young Golf Champions, Courtney and Paul Michael, who stuck with it as a profession.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Zion Michael, the granddaughter, took up golf and was the first Antiguan to take golf as a CXC subject.<\/p>\n

Antigua has produced many gems in general, and especially in sport, but for some reason we do not seem to be able to capitalize on it, and as we watch our elder sportsmen retire to Cedar Valley, we need to find a way of honouring them together.<\/p>
