135 children from all over the Coast, 28 of whom from our School, have reunited yesterday in our North Course to celebrate once again a Junior Circuit of the RFGA.

With perfect weather conditions (soft cold morning and sunny day, without wind), we lived a very good golf atmosphere.

We were especially excited to receive the congratulations of a member and neighbour of 8th hole for the good behavior of each and every kid. They did not leave a pitchmark without fixing!

Congratulations to all these children, parents and pros who teach them the etiquette and take care of the course.

As for the results, we want to congratulate the 3 champions and runner up of the Club:

• Samuel Love -> Scratch winner - Benjamin
• Lucía Morales -> Scratch & Handicap winner – Infantil
• Carlos Mendoza -> Champion Scratch and Male Child Handicap
• Alejandro Chacón -> Sub-Champion Scratch Cadet Masculino

Thank you Royal Andalusian Golf Federation for everything you do for children's golf and for giving us the opportunity, year by year, to enjoy them.

FINAL JAVIER ARANA CUP (September 28th)

We welcomed autumn with the Final of Javier Arana Cup 2019, which on our 60th anniversary, we had the opportunity to organize it. It was an important challenge for us to move the operation to the 11th Tee (converted into Hole 1) to preserve the original course of the great Spanish designer, but the result was spectacular.

We have the representation of the 9 “Arana courses ” in the Final: Cerdanya, Race, Aloha, Rio Real, Neguri, Ulzama, CCVM, Saler and Guadalmina. But none of them could beat the super team of Guadalmina, formed by Francisco Castaño, Marc Mueller-Baumgart, Rosa Sánchez, Fermín López and Hans Wielaard. The consequence of this incontestable victory is also organizing, next year, the Final.

Final results

CAPTAIN'S DAY (October 5th)

Pedro Ángel Alonso and Begoña Urcelay revalidated the title achieved in 2018 thanks to an amazing regularity and understanding: they scored in 9 holes each and made 23 points in the front nine & back nine (46 stableford points). And despite touching perfection, they won with just one shot of advantage over the pairs formed by Antonia Silva & Víctor Jorge Caballero and Rafael Tineo & Mª Patricia Mantel.

Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to the captains of both sections (Linda Jones and Antonio Nuño) for an amazing organization. You are being exemplary captains.

October 10th . 2019

 
The date October 10th , 2019, will be part of the history of our Club, as one of the most important dates, similar in importance to July 12th 1959, when Mr. Norberto Goizueta and his family started the development of Guadalmina, or November 17th 2008, after fifty years of history HM King Juan Carlos I, granted us the distinction of REAL to the Guadalmina Golf Club.
 

During sixty years of history, the destiny of the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, has been in the hands of several Companies. Starting 30 years ago by The Goizueta´s  Family, managing every aspect of the development of the land.

Thank to them Guadalmina gained the reputation of being one of the best resorts in Spain, and in the Sports side the Club held some of the most important Tournaments , Professionals and Amateurs of Spain, during that  period of time, the also developed many of the real estate properties which conforms Guadalmina.

 
Since 1989, after the purchase by Prima Inmobiliaria and the constitution of Guadalmina Golf SA, several companies have held a stake in the GGSA shareholders, with greater or lesser weight.

 
Prima Inmobiliaria was followed by Grand Tibidadabo and Fadesa, and finally Martinsa Fadesa, who, after thirty years from the foundation of Guadalmina Golf s.a.t, still held 31% of the Share Capital, this last Company after entering the Liquidation Contest in 2015, on July 19th of 2019 put 1,016 shares on sale.

 
The Real Club de Golf Guadalmina through its members, aware of the importance of the event, was mobilized in a way, like never did before, nationalities and origin did not matter.
 

We knew that it was necessary to present a large number of favorable/ positive of votes to the acquisition, to serve both purposes, to add enough number of shareholders present and represented , according to the quorum required in the statutes of Guadalmina Golf s.a. and to send a clear message to the reference shareholder, Martinsa Fadesa, who had indicated his intention to abstain, if a sufficient majority of positive votes among the other shareholders, was not achieved.

 
And out of a total of 1,268 shareholders with voting rights, shareholders members of the Club , 846 (among them 133 shareholders who are not currently active members of the Club ), representing 66,46%, voted affirmative, to the operation, the vast majority required by the reference shareholder, Martinsa Fadesa who added to the YES,  1,016 votes, allowing the approval of the agreements of the four essential points of the agenda, all of them approved by overwhelming majority.

1/ Purchase for € 5,080,000

2/ Financing of said amount by GGSA

3/ Amortization of 70 % of the shares and reduction of capital, with sale of 30 %

4/ Signing of a lease agreement bewteen GGSA and Real Club de Golf Guadalmina. 

The necessary explanations were given, and it was reported that all the decisions taken were based on reports from independent experts, selected from several, allowing us to conclude that we were facing a unique opportunity for the Guadalmina Royal Golf Club.

Laura Gómez ends the year in the Top 5 of the Let Access Series ranking, thus achieving the rights to the Ladies European Tour.

If there has been someone regular this year it has certainly been Laura. 18 tournaments played throughout the old continent, 16 cuts, 1 victory and 3 Top 5  Spectacular.

“I feel very excited to have the Tour card. I brought my parents in the last tournament to bring me luck and calm” tells us. The final was very tight because one of her pursuers, Chloe Williams, was fighting for the title until the end, which could have taken Gómez from the Top 5 of the Order of Merit. "The last day I felt a lot of nerves, but I was confident that everything would work out."

Laura Gómez is a rough diamond and one of the promising young star European golf, but she still has no sponsor. That is why from here we call on members and friends. Any collaboration will be welcome: golf clothes and golf equipment in general.

Our most sincere congratulations, Laura!

The idyll between Golf Club Bogogno and Ángel Hidalgo continues.

As it happened last year, Angel chose the Italian Club to face the 1st Stage of the Tour Q School and things could not go better: rounds of 69 - 67 - 72 - 70 were enough to get into the Top 15 and seal the pass to PQ 2.

Hidalgo told us that “the conditions of this year varied quite a lot compared to last year, because after the rains, the course became long and heavy. My low power fade, which in normal conditions runs a lot, here was not the ideal one. The last day took me a while to start, but I played the back 9 pretty solid to get the pass”.

The next stage of the Q School is played in Spain, simultaneously and by lot, in Desert Springs, Alenda Golf, Bonmont and Las Colinas, from November 7th to 10th. Before, he will play the Alps Tour Final at Terre dei Consoli GC & Golf Nazionale (Rome), where the best 50 players of the year play.

Congratulations & good luck for the rest of the season!!

We take this opportunity to send Haiko Dana a big hug, unable to overcome the 1st Stage.
