The WBO 35th annual convention teed off (literally) with a golf tournament at El Legado Golf Club in Salinas, Puerto Rico, about an hour outside of San Juan at 7:30 this morning. WBO president Francisco Paco Valcarcel is an avid golfer and has made the sport and integral part of the organization’s convention for the past 23 years.
