Friends of Guadalmina

Dear Members:

Within our plan of continuous improvement of the Club facilities, we inform you of several actions that we will carry out in the coming days as we believe it is necessary that members know in advance

We would like take this opportunity to apologize for the inconvenience that may cause in the daily activity.

• The first of these actions, which we have already started, is the complete cleaning of the club, carried out industrially by a specialized company in the sector, with the aim of recovering the appearance, or even improving it, that we had before the damage caused by the “Calima” storms suffered by the whole area last March. The work began on the 11th May and will continue until it is completely finished.

• The second action will be carried out from the 23rd of May and we estimate that it will be finished around the 27th of May, consists of the painting of the Club House which on this occasion the color chosen will be completely white.

• The third action will be the decoration of the members' terrace, by placing ornamental plants, which we estimate will be in place between the 20th and 25th of May.

• The fourth has already been completed, but it is important that you all know about it, and it has been the installation of acoustic panels in the restaurant on the upper floor in order to improve the noise level and make the members' dining room more comfortable.

 
We hope that these new improvements will satisfy  our Members and we will continue with the further improvements which we consider are necessary to make our Club the best it can be.

The Board of Directors

Words from our Solheim Cup ambassador Rosaleen Cunningham at the awards ceremony.

Firstly I would like to thank our Lady Captain Leona and her committee for all the help and support they have given me in organising this event.  I hope you all had a wonderful day and I also want to congratulate the winning USA team Very well done

As you know Finca Cortesin will host the  Solheim Cup, which will take place from 18 to 24 September 2023. 

As the Ambassador of the Solheim Cup in Guadamina I decided to sponsor today to promote this event among all our ladies. 

This competition between America and Europe is the female equivalent of the Ryder Cup.   This is the first time it is being held in Spain.  We are very lucky that it is being held in a course in Andalucia very close to our club.

In 2023 the club will host the Solheim Cup here for one week and we will all have the  opportunity to take a photo with the cup.  For that week we are planning a Solheim competition in which Men, Ladies and Juniors can participate. 

The Solheim Cup is the most prestigious competition for womens teams on the international golf calendar.  I hope and wish that many of us and our friends will travel to Finca Cortesin to support the 12 best European lady golfers and enjoy the  exciting battle against the 12 best players from the USA. 

Thank you ‘Lets Go Girls’
