PRIZE GIVING FOR THIS WEEK´S COMPETITION WILL TAKE PLACE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE INFORMATIVE PRESENTATION , WHICH STARTS AT 19:00

In the attached information you may download the proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting of Guadalmina Golf s.a. to be held next October 10th , as well as the proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting of Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, which will take place, the same date  right after the GGSA meeting.

Azahara Muñoz, Noemi Jiménez and Laura Gómez will be in the field in one of the most prestigious tournaments of the Ladies European Tour.

Each one with different stories and goals but with the same identity: the three players are members of the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina and, above all, friends.

Azahara comes from conquering what has probably been the most exciting Solheim Cup in history. In addition, Aza has been performing at a very high level this season, so it would not be surprising if she fight for the title this week.

Noemi is a regular of the Ladies European Tour and is currently in position 51 of the merit order so she needs, as soon as possible, a good week to keep the card for the next season or, who knows, if to look at higher levels.

Laura will enjoy an invitation from the sponsor. And if we take a look at her performances in the 2nd European Tour division, for sure she will show her best game.

#GuadalminaPower

Álvaro dressed in red and blue (as in the Real Club de Golf de La Coruña when he conquered the Spanish Absolute Championship) to win the title in the International Under 18 Spanish Championship and complete the dream triplet in the same year: Spanish Championship Under 18, Spanish Championship Absolute and International Under 18 Spanish Championship.

Sherry Golf witnessed another blow of "Martillo Mueller", who, despite starting with a doubtful 76, he remained patient and finished with 4 under par in the accumulated, winning with 3 strokes of advantage over Álvaro Morales.

Where is Álvaro's roof?

Congratulations!!

On August 22nd and 23rd, Benalmádena Golf met the future spanish stars in the Spanish Pitch and Putt Championship. After a round of 2 under and being solo leader with two strokes ahead, in the final round "Samu" made 4 under to win the tournament with 7 strokes of advantage over Juan Miró and Francisco Javier Gómez.

Awesome, "Samu", congratulations!

*Not having Spanish nationality, Samuel Love is not the Spanish Champion, but he is the winner of the Championship.

In the same competition, we also had a sensational performance by our little member Blanca Gómez-Balboa, finishing third. Bravo Blanca!

And this week we have Lucia Morales, Carlos Mendoza, Alberto Sánchez de la Fuente and Silvia Guerrero playing the Spanish Interclubes  Championship at Lauro Golf. Ángel Hidalgo plays in Belgium the KPMG Trophy  (Challenge Tour), Laura Gómez the Scandic PGA Championship, a Let Acces Series tournament, Azahara Muñoz the Portland Classic of the LPGA, and finally, Álvaro Mueller-Baumgart will participate in the Jacques Léglise Trophy, representing Europe Contintental

Good luck to all!

2 days after the Golfing Week and having digested what has been lived this week, it is time to take stock.

It has been an intense and exciting week, marked by the best participation of our members in the different competitions.

The commitment acquired years ago from the Competition Committee to control the slow game, reducing, among other things, the limit of participants per tournament, took effect. Except on Tuesday, with La Guita-Belloterra Trophy, it was the only day that a game exceeded 5 hours. But let's be fair; the spectacular snack offered by La Guita & Grupo Estévez and Belloterra in hole 11th, unfortunately causes delays.

Let's talk about participation; In Ping Trophy and La Guita, 204 people played per day, while in Reale and Le Club we went to 188 and 189 respectively. The Teams Tournament, sponsored by Movistar, had 40 teams.

Additionally and as a novelty, before the prize giving presentation on Thursday, we organized a Putting Green tournament with the collaboration of My Bar, a company that offers PREMIUM cocktail and mobile bars services for events. And the experiment could not go better: happy members participating in something different. Check out the attached photos!

On Thursday we proceeded to celebrate the prize giving presentation of the mentioned tournaments and about 300 people accompanied us during the night. Perhaps the spectacular assortment of Belloterra in the raffle was largely to blame?

In addition to Belloterra products, in Ping we deliver from Drives, golf bags, to wedges, polo shirts or caps. Reale offered a lot and very valuable accessory, in addition to Cleveland golf bag and Ping hybrid. La Guita distributed 6 varieties of wines from the Estévez Group winery to each of the winners. In Le Club, the winners were classified as every year for the National Final in Hacienda del Álamo and the rest of the participants were able to enter a fantastic draw (bags, dozens of balls, Cuvical gin, Dos Maderas rum and many Greenfees, among others ).

The team formed by Cristóbal and Diego Mena, Juan Bernal and Vicente Holgado took the victory in the Team Tournament with an incredible final day. See the results HERE.

The Club Management and the Competition Committee thank you greatly for your participation, patience and commitment during these days. Thanks also, of course, to all the Caddie Master and Maintenance staff for their good work, to the restoration, and, above all, to the sponsors of each tournaments for trusting another year in Guadalmina.

You can check the photos of the prize giving presentation, in the attached document.

Until next year!

On June 25th, the 10th hole of the North Course dressed up to receive the stars of the European Tour. Thomas Detry, Paul Dunne, Sean Crocker and Guido Migliozzi were trying to break the record of the fastest played hole in history, so far in the hands of a former student of the Club School, Rubén Holgado (1 min. 33 sec.) , who, in addition, was invited by the European Tour to witness the "show".

The rules of the attempt dictated that the par five had to play a minimum of 500 yards with each player required to finish the hole carrying the same number of clubs they started with. A test of fitness, stamina, golfing ability and mental strength.

After more than 2 hours, the afternoon began to fall and the alarms sounded: no one could excel Ruben and the players began to be exhausted. Until Detry launched a 322-yard bomb, put his heart and soul into the race and managed to finish the hole in 1 minute and 29 seconds. GORGEOUS!

It was a fantastic day and we are very proud to have been at the epicenter of European golf for a moment.

We also attach unpublished images that we made during the event.

Last Saturday Cristal Marbella celebrated its XXI Edition in the South Course and, as it could not be otherwise, the participation was a success. The participants enjoyed a splendid day, with unbeatable agronomic conditions, a pace of play lower than 4:15 hrs and a great final cocktail.

From the Club we want to thank its responsible Juan Rueda and the company Cristal Marbella for sharing with us that important day.

Results, HERE.

This past weekend, our champions traveled to Cádiz for the dispute of the Andalusian Championship Infantil and Alevín (Villanueva Golf Resort) and Benjamín (Campano Golf).

The 7 children were guided and accompanied by the Director of our School, Cástor Gómez, who also had the support of several parents. Many thanks to all, especially Antonio Rodríguez (coordinating father) and the super photographer Antonio Morales.

As usual, the School of Guadalmina ended in the top in almost all categories: victory of Samuel Love in Benjamin and a second position Ana Rodríguez Rodríguez. But most important were the faces full of smiles from our children, including Samuel's, although he wanted to hide it in the photo.

Congratulations champions and participants, you keep making this School great.

PS: the sporting activity does not stop, today started the Norberto Goizueta with wide representation, this Friday the XXIII Open of Paco and on Sunday, the Summer Four Seasons.

Our genial Lucía Morales is the new CHAMPION OF ANDALUSIA (PITCH AND PUTT - UNDER 16).

After the first day she placed herself solo leader thanks to a solid 2 under par (52 strokes). And on the second day, despite being behind Alejandra Fernández for most of the day, she finished with a birdie on the 18th and snatched the victory, after Alejandra committed a painful 8.

Congratulations Lucía, we are very proud of you.

Great perfomance of the rest of our players, with Top 10 for Samuel Love (who, in addition, was 3rd in the Spanish Championship days ago), Carlos Mendoza, Daniel de la Serna and Samuel Rodríguez.

Check final results HERE.

Also congratulate Laura Gómez for premiering her international track record, winning a few days ago at the Montauban Ladies Open, followed by a 2nd place at the Belfius Ladies Open. With this, she is ranked 3rd in the Order of Merit of the Let Access Series. Remember that the Top 5 at the end of the year, gets the Ladies European Tour card.

Congratulations Laura, come on!
