FINAL UPDATE BEFORE NEW SYSTEM IS LIVE ON 1ST NOVEMBER

CLAPPHOUSE APP

Dear Members;

We are getting closer to launch day, and I would like to thank everyone involved in the project to date.  There has been a huge effort by Staff and some members who provided training on the App to get us this far. We are all very excited at the prospect of the new system.   

We know that changes are always a bit scary at first, but we assure you that the Club through the Caddy Master staff and collaborators will continue to support the launch of the new reservation and management system.

Today more than 800 members have already downloaded the Claphouse APP, and we hope that before the end of the year, close to 100% of Members will do so.

I regret to inform you that the death has occurred of Maria Jesus Calvete know to her friends as Chusiña. 

Chusiña has been a member of Guadalmina Golf Club since 2015 and was a great supporter of the club. 

Chusiña was always smiling and friendly to everyone she met. 

She enjoyed getting together with friends and loved to entertain them with a song. 

Chusiña also recently enjoyed playing on our Croquet Lawn with friends. 

She will be sadly missed by family and friends and especially by her husband Antonio Garcia Bilbo. 

May Chusina Rest in Peace.

Dear members

Last June 26th was held the Intenational Alevin Championship of Andalucia in Almerimar.

We want to congratulate all our players and a special recognition to the handicap winner.

Alejandra Ordoñez Polo

Dear all,

As mentioned in the latest web publication from Rosaleen Cunningham, our Solheim Cup Ambassador, we would like to invite you all to participate in the Jerusalema dance competition organised by the Solheim Cup event managers as part of the program to promote the Solheim Cup 2023.  The music version we will use is the original “JERUSALEMA by Master KG”

What is the idea:

To get as many ladies and men as possible to attend practice sessions so that we can make a videoclip maximum 60 seconds in which we dance and promote our beautiful International Guadalmina Golf Club and the courses.  All the dancers from the winning club will get a greenfee to play Finca Cortesin the Solheim Cup Course for 2023.  We will be competing against all the clubs in Spain who also have an Ambassador, approximately 100.

Who can join:

All Guadalmina Members and Staff who want to do the dance.   Also, for those who do not want to do the dance but want to be part of the fun, there will be a grand finale around the swimming pool where everyone will be holding a golf club and we will do something similar to a ‘Mexican Wave’ and video it using a drone.

Dates for training and actual video:

9:10 – 9:40am at the P&P behind hole 4 – Wednesday Mornings June 16th, 23rd, 30th, and July 7th

7:45 – 8:15pm at the Driving Range – Friday Evenings June 18th, 25th, July 2nd,and July 9th.

The dance leaders/trainers will be Maria Torres and Anne Langgard on Wednesday mornings and Carmen Ortega and Leona Poelstra Friday evenings.

A final Practice with all dancers will be organised in the week of July 12th – dates and times to be announced.

Tentative date to video the Final Dance and the ‘Mexican Wave’ is Saturday July 17th.

The basic steps need to be learned at home before the first training sessions - attached is an easy instruction video which you can use to learn the steps. 

Dancers must committ to a minimum of 2 and preferably 3 training sessions. 

What will all dancers and everyone in the final line up wear for the Video?

Ladies – Coral top and white skirt, shorts or pants with a coral/white flower in their hair.  The flower will be provided by the organising committee.

Men – Navy shorts or pants and white shirt.

Where do I register?

Please register at the caddymaster if you are going to do the dance and you can put your name on the list for the Morning Training session, the Evening Training or on both. 

Important !

Please find attached the document that was received from the Solheim Cup Organisers with the rules of the competition. Please give extra attention to point 2 in this document concerning consent to the broadcasting of the video!

We all need to stay safe and therefore the Coronovirus protocol needs to be respected at all times.

Finally

Although the final video is only 60 seconds there will be some effort required to make it happen, but there will be lots of fun, laughter and excercise in the process.  We are looking forward to getting it started and showing the other clubs what the Guadalmina Women and Men can do.  Please register and join in the fun.

Lets all go and swing it out…

Committee Members: Rosaleen Cunningham, Leona Poelstra, Maria Torres, Anne O’Keefe, Carmen Ortega, Anne Langard.

PDF of competition rules form the Solheim Cup Organisers

The Solheim Cup is the biggest international competition in women’s golf and one of the most important events in women’s sport around the world.  

This biennial tournament is contested by teams representing Europe and the United States.

For the first time ever, Spain will host the Solheim Cup in 2023.

Finca Cortesín (Costa del Sol, Andalusia) will hold the event that will take place from September 18-24.

Up to now, seven Spanish golfers have played in the European team. Azahara Muñoz (a Costa del Sol golfer) has been a stalwart on the European side from 2011 on.

Record crowds of more than 90,000 turned out to watch the 2019 Solheim Cup at Gleneagles.

The Solheim Cup is an ideal platform to present Andalucía and the Costa del Sol as a prime tourism destination.

Board of Directors

Dear Members.  -

In relation to the issue of the beach bar, I would like to inform you that the relevant appeals have already been submitted to the Board of Andalucía by the Golf Club and by the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina S.A.  In the appeals  submitted we have provided sufficient information and relevant arguments backing up our request for this permission to be rejected.

According to our information, appeals have also been submitted by the Hotel Guadalmina, the Baja Urbanistic Entity, the Guadalmina Baja community of owners, several property owners in the area and the Marbella City Council.

At this point, there is nothing further for us to do except to wait for the final decision to be made on this issue.  As soon as I have further information I will communicate it to you immediately. 

Best regards,

 Manuel Muñoz Navarro

President of the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina
