The Rob Machado Golfo Experience
The Rob Machado Golf Experience, benefiting the Cardiff Education Fund, helping kids gain a better understanding of their environment, took place on a very beautiful and sunny September Monday.
Happy to support our friend, Rob Machado, with this year’s South of the border themed fundraiser, we loaded the car (a Prius) with golf bags, piñatas, sombreros, and luche libre masks.
Upon arriving at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, we were greeted with a delicious and filling acai bowl from Sambazon, Nixon goodie bags, and our very own golf cart. We (WINDOWSEATpictures) were actually given 4 carts. I guess they don’t like people hanging on the sides of the cart. Go figure….

The 30+ teams of 4 included Hurley, Dragon Alliance, WINDOWSEATpictures, INT Boards, Marko Foam, Pat’s Record Company, and Transworld Surf, amongst many others. The players commenced on their 18-holes of shenanigans with a putting contest for $10,000. Company-sponsored holes were given free reign in regards to decorations, food, and “bonus activity”…as long as it was consistent with the theme.
Players enjoyed massages and margaritas from SurferMag, dined on carne asada tacos at both Nixon and Rimmel, sushi from Zenbu, tequila shots with lovely ladies at New Era, and ice cream from Archies, courtesy of Kurtis Surf Goggles. Wahoos also delivered burritos to each player on the course. Along with the appetizing food, the players were entertained with various bonus games like tennis, short-club golf, tee-ball, black jack, soccer, and a fruit ‘throw’.

A Mariachi band serenaded our return to the club house, where we devoured a Mexican buffet-style dinner and bid on the silent and live auctions. The awards ceremony concluded the festive fundraiser.
Dragon’s Federale Stop on Hole #3 won the “best hole” award! I didn’t mind getting a ticket for being “too sober”, having my windows washed by unsavory characters, being offered something green in a bag for mere pesos, and witnessing a honcho in a poncho using the public bano. Our golf-cart was also stolen and our clubs were being sold back to us. It was absolutely hilarious!
