Powerful performance in the Andalusian Pitch and Putt Championship Under 16

With barely time to take a breath after the Nina Digsmed, 19 players from our young academy moved to the neighboring course of El Campanario to play the Andalusian Pitch and Putt Under 16 and Benjamin. And, of course, Guadalmina's boys triumphed.

 

The Benjamines dominated with victory for Valeria Ramírez among the girls and Aitor Macías in boys category. Notable tournament also of Samuel Love (3rd).

 

In Sub 16 we could not climb to the top, although we were close. Pablo Hidalgo made the best round of the tournament in the final day (-10!) to force a play off with Fermín Palma, in which he finally finished runner-up. Jonah Fernandes (6th), Samuel Rodríguez (10th) and Lucía Morales (8th) completed the good performance of the "bulls" of Guadalmina.

 

Congrats to all!

2018 Nina Digsmed trophy, by RFGA

Carlos Ramón de Fata, President of the PGA Committee of the RFGA and our Nina Richter Digsmed summed it up perfectly in the prize giving presentation: what a joy to see so many young children (over 90) get excited about our sport.

All ages represented, the youngest, with official prize, Juan, 4 years old until the juniors of 21. All attracted to this tournament, one of the most important events of the summer in Costa del Sol.

And what level! not only the absolute Spanish champion Ángel Hidalgo, the champion of absolute Andalusia, Calvin Greschner, the Spanish sub-champion Cadete Alvaro Mueller-Baumgart, but also Álvaro Revuelta Goicochea (Madrid-Sotograndde), Sub-Champion of Spain Sub-14 and many more players with important palmares in Andalusia.

And of course, with so much level, it was expected to watch impressive rounds: 4 players with 6 under. In the end, the victory went to Angel Hidalgo, who, after defeating Scott Christinson and Jonah and Noah Fernandes in the 2nd play-off hole, got the desired "triplete": Spanish Championship, Open de Paco and Nina Digsmed.

XXII Open de Paco

Another year, the untiring Paco organized his Open de Paco in the North Course on Friday, July 20. It was a beautiful day, full of children from 8 am until 8 pm. Of all ages and coming from all points of the province.

 

Both Paco and Nina, his luxury assistant, spent the whole day working out for the children, taking pictures, offering them food and drink, giving them advices and giving them a smile when their golf failed. In addition to the encourage of Paco, Nina and the rest of the Staff, a luxury spectator did not want to miss the big day; Azahara Muñoz was watching the little ones in the Par 3 course and signing caps. And of course, you can imagine the illusion that made the children see her there.

 

When the afternoon began to come to an end and after more than 120 children enjoyed, in addition to golf, the pool, the bouncy castle and the approach contest, there was an excellent prize givig ceremony, where practically all the children took a gift.

 

Congrats to all the participants and the winners! Check final results:

More victories in San Roque

The demanding Old Course of San Roque was the venue last Monday of the 5th tournament of the professional circuit of the Royal Andalusian Golf Federation. We had "Guadalmin @ s" victories in both the men's and ladies categories. Laura Cabanillas and Noemí Jiménez shared the title with Mª Ángeles Jiménez Miguel (+3) and Juan Carlos Osorio and Haiko Dana did the same in men's with Miguel Ángel Jiménez Jr thanks to a round of -3.

 

With these new victories, it is worth noting that of the 5 tournaments played this year, 4 have fallen into the hands of a Guadalmina player (in the men's category) and 3 in the ladies category. Awesome.

 

That's how things are in the Ranking after the San Roque event:

Ladies: 2nd Laura Cabanillas and 4th Noemí Jiménez

Men’s: 2nd Dani Osorio and 3rd Juan Carlos Osorio

Senior: 4th Castor Gómez

Club Series Golf landed in Guadalmina for the dispute of the 3rd tournament of its circuit

Seven tournaments across a large part of the Spanish geography in seven emblematic venues, including a national final in Mijas Golf, with a marvelous list of collaborators.That was the bet of the circuit organized by Sponsory . And, of course, Guadalmina could not reject the proposal.

 

This past Saturday the 3rd round of the Club Series was held on our South course with a total of 84 players, including members and guests.

 

After a perfect day of golf, with welcome pack, supplies on the 11th hole (tasting the spectacular ham Covap ) and an elegant cocktail (bar gintonics including courtesy of Plymouth Gin ), we conclude with a generous prize giving, with interesting gifts.

 

Massive thanks to Club Series and in particular to its Director, Alfonso Castro, for trusting in the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina, to all the players and congratulations to the winners.

And in the Absolute Andalusian Championship this weekend Calvin John Greschner has confirmed his good form by proclaiming himself Champion of Andalusia 2018 thanks to a cumulative of -3. Very close was Laura Gomez (T-2) to make 100% for Guadalmina, staying only 1 stroke of the winner, Mª Teresa Toscano. Meritorious 6th place tied for Álvaro Mueller-Baumgart, 12th for Ignacio Gómez, 18th for Alejandro Chacón and T25 for Sonny Burrell. Final results, here.
