Cuba embraces golf to boost its tourism

The only time Cuba's Fidel Castro is known to have played golf was in 1961, in a stunt thumbing his nose at the United States.

Cuba is now setting aside any ideological objections and embracing golf.

Investors from Canada and Europe have proposed building gated communities with luxury hotels, villas and condos surrounding 18-and 36-hole golf courses near beach resorts across the Caribbean island.
