PLACE TO PLAY A
ROUND OF GOLF
p Port Royal Golf Course
With 6,842 manicured yards, 18
championship holes, sweeping
ocean views and the home of
the PGA Grand Slam, the Port
Royal Golf Course is the gold
standard of greens in Bermuda.
Playing on the same course
as greats like Angel Cabrera,
Lucas Glover, Ernie Els and
last year’s winner Adam Scott
is a dream come true for local
golfers and visitors alike—but
beating their scores will probably remain a dream!

CHARITY/COMMUNITY
SERVICE ORGANIZATION
p Eliza Dolittle Society’s
Daily Bread Programme
This tough economic climate is
hardest for those already on the
margins of society, and it is estimated as many as 3–6 percent of
locals suffer from hunger to some
extent. This sobering statistic—
and the knowledge that many
local establishments like hotels,
restaurants, bakeries and grocery
stores discard consumable food—
encouraged the Eliza Dolittle
Society to create the Daily Bread
Programme. The programme
now provides food for over 1,000
meals per week for nine different
feeding centres, allowing the
Society to realise its mission to
reduce hunger and food wastage
in Bermuda.

COLUMNIST
p Christopher Famous
Columnists have a responsibility to gather as much information as they can about their
subject and then present the
facts in a comprehensible way
to help educate their readers.
It can be a tough job to get the
balance just right, so the best
columnists—like Christopher Famous—develop a loyal following
(and sometimes win awards!).
Whether he is taking on the
government’s lack of transparency or waxing lyrical about the
Bermuda of yesteryear, Famous
speaks to all Bermudians in his
JOURNALIST
p Sam Strangeways
“The best journalist on the
island by a country mile,” said
