Victory for the player of Guadalmina in the final of Alps Tour Q School Final, thus achieving full category for the coming season. And his first title as a pro.

The Marbella player did not lose the top of the leaderboard at any time during the 3 days. He began with a great 69 in a windy day, then came a 67 and closed his great week with a spectacular 65 (-7) free of bogeys.

Now, knowing that he already has a tour to play next season, he faces with guarantees and confidence the last big challenge of the year : getting the Asian Tour card at Q School Final (26-30 December, Thailand).

Another step forward in the right direction. Bravo, Angel!

Congratulate Juan Carlos Osorio for recovering the card thanks to a magnificent 4th place.

See you this Saturday November 3rd for the Monthly School Competition, qualifier for the Junior Match Play Cup.

pd: attached you will find some pictures.

It was a month of October full of very special days, but 3 of them deserve a singular mention.

The Captain's, in which the captains of the male and female section organized a fantastic day on October 13th, with a mixed fourball in the South Course, including gala dinner (prepared with great care by Dantonelas Group). An opera singer culminated the celebration with a brilliant performance. The victory was for the couple formed by Pedro Ángel Alonso and Begoña Urcelay.

The Spanish team was the winner of the historic Nations Cup, and Marguerite Jordan (2017 captain) won the 18th edition of the Cup of the past Captains.

Our most sincere congratulations to the winners and, of course, to all the members that participated, because thanks to you these emblematic Cups are still celebrated year after year. Members: You are Guadalmina!

The young professional Laura Gómez, member of Guadalmina since 7 years old, wins the 8th tournament of 2018 Santander Ladies Tour after 3 holes of play off.

The experts say that the first victory always costs more, and how could it be otherwise, for Laura has not been an exception.

Thanks to a very solid first round of 70 strokes (-2) and a start of the 2nd brilliant, Laura was dominating throughout the day. She came to par 5 of 18 with a shot ahead of her closest pursuer, Rochelle Morris, and after committing three putts to finish, it was necessary to go out to the play off. And after 3 holes of maximum emotion, Laura took the coveted title.

Our most sincere congratulations on behalf of the entire team of the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina. We are very proud. More wins are coming!

Check the final results here.

Laura is placed 4th in the ranking of the Santander Tour. Next stop, Norba Golf (Cáceres).

Golf Club Bogogno has once again hosted the first section of the European Tour Q School. There was our amateur Ángel Hidalgo, debuting in the fearsome school. It began as a rocket with rounds of 65 (-7) and 65 and leading its section in its equator. "I was already hitting the ball pretty well few days ago, and the proof is that I failed only one green in the first 36 holes," said Ángel.

Things got a little tricky when Angel delivered a 75 shot card (+3) on the 3rd day. It had only 4 shots of margin with respect to the virtual cut (the first 24 gonna reach the 2nd stage) and "the nerves appeared, but luckily I started strong on the 4th day with 3 birdies in 5 holes".

In the end, 65-65-75-69 were enough to finish in a comfortable way in the Top 24 (finished tied 7th). Goal accomplished.

The next stage of the q school is played in Spain, simultaneously and by lottery, in Desert Springs, Alenda Golf, Panoramica and Las Colinas, from November 2nd to 5th. Hidalgo has not planned to play any competition to date. Training, training and training!

Congratulations!! Good luck and let's go to the final!

Last week we told you in this news that Ángel Hidalgo was going to represent Spain in what was probably going to be his last big amateur tournament. And how do the big guys say goodbye? Like a champions.

The Andalusian Ángel Hidalgo and Víctor Pastor and Alejandro del Rey from Madrid have achieved bronze in the World Teams Championship with a cumulative of -36, just 3 shots behind Denmark and 2 behind the US. It is the 4th Spanish team in the history of this competition that enters the medal table, after the bronzes of 1996 and 2014 and the silver of 2004.

Although Angel has contributed very much in the 3rd place of Spain with rounds of PAR, -3, -6 and 1 under par, the big star was Alejandro del rey with a spectacular result of -23, thus achieving the individual victory.

If you want to know how the boys felt after the day, watch this video.

We do not forget the great week of Álvaro Mueller-Baumgart (5th) in the Spanish International Under 18 held in La Cañada, the 7th position of Azahara Muñoz in the French Open and the Top 20 achieved by Noemi Jiménez also in France.
