Up to 137 children played (and enjoyed) the Youth Circuit of zone C on our beloved South Course last Sunday, April 8. Long day (tee times from 8 a.m. until after 3 p.m.) but it was really fun. It's always nice to see rivals (and friends, of course), share experiences, anecdotes and good golf.

In the sports part of our members, we cannot feel more proud of all of them (not only of the winners), because up to 28 children of the School participated, among which stood out:

AITOR MACIAS LOPEZ (2nd, 1 shot behind the champ)

DANIEL DE LA SERNA GIL (3rd, 1 shot behind the champ)

SAMUEL LOVE (5th, 1 shot behind the champ)

VALERIA RAMIREZ LOPEZ (1st “ Benjamín” Scratch and Handicap)

REBECA FERNANDEZ ROBLES (2nd  “Infantil”)

EVELINA STANIKOVA (2nd “Cadete”)

MARC WALLER TORRAS (1st “Infantil”)

And the Top3 of “Cadete” category:

ALVARO MUELLER-BAUMGART LUCENA

ALEJANDRO JAMES CHACON GRIFFIN

NICOLAS BARCLAY HERNANDEZ

Good job, guys!

Things are going well for the sampedreña at the start of the season (her ninth!) on LPGA Tour. 6 tournaments played, 6 cuts and 3 Top 20. Regularity in its purest form.

As told in the blog of Tengolf before the tournament (http://ten-golf.com/en/blogs/azahara-munoz/os-cuento-como-llego-al-primer-grande-del-ano/ ) she felt the game in a really good shape, playing comfortably, so sooner or later the big week will come. The week, despite not being too close to victory, has been more than remarkable. Azahara Muñoz  is recovering naturalness and it shows. Anecdotally (although the data is more important than it may seem) on Saturday she achieved 8 of 9 "sand saves". Almost nothing.

Finally, T-20 in a Major (Ana Inspiration,) with the best players in the world. Her friend Beatriz Recari finished in the same position.

The Swedish Pernilla Lindberg wons the tournament on 8th hole of the play off against Inbee Park. Grattis! http://www.lpga.com/leaderboard

That’s the way, Aza!

Dear members:

During  Holy week, and in order to offer the possibility to book in those dates, from Monday March 26th  to Sunday April 1st , we have reserved a number of start times, which can be booked only on the same day of play, called presence tee times, reservations can be make, starting from 07:45 am by usual reservation systems by telephone by calling the 952886522,  in person at the caddy master.

About the presence tee times in every hour, in which there are 9 starting times programmed every 9 minutes, are 6 starting times freely available and two of the presence tee times,  of a total of 60 starting times programmed in a  day18 will be presence tee times and 42 free in each course.

We hope that through this system we can improve reservation service during these dates.

Dear Members,

To access to the ON LINE reservation system, please, read the tutorial included in the additional information.

Attached you will find all the information about the Holy Week Camp that our School offers. Your kinds will be in the best hands.

Good morning to everyone, after 4 days closed, finally the rain has given us a truce and we can open the 3 courses.

Although the ground is still quite wet, we are able to reopen the courses again. Please drive your buggies thru the car path and be careful with the course.

Thank you all for your patience and enjoy golf!

Probably this has been the most important call of his career. The RFEG has decided to invite 2 amateur Andalusian players and one of them is him (Víctor Pastor, the other). He tells us that "playing with the best players is a dream come true and I want to take this tournament seriously and, who knows, maybe we'll scare the big guys. Being my first Spanish Open, I will always remember that week for sure".

Recall that the 2018 Spanish Open is played this year from 12th to 15th April at the Centro Nacional de Golf (Madrid) and although neither Sergio García nor Miguel Ángel Jiménez seems to be able to attend the event, Jon Rahm (current nº2 of the world) confirmed the other day that he will do everything possible to not miss the Open.

For Real Golf Club Guadalmina is a real pride. You deserve it, Angel.

The good news doesn’t stop. Álvaro Mueller-Baugmart Lucena is beginning to show why it is one of the greatest sub-16 jewels of the national scene. It's nothing new, a "mini-star" has not just been born, but every year it goes up one step. This time it was in Hacienda Riquelme and in one of the great youth tournaments and against which a priori was almost intractable, the player from Castellón José Luis Ballester.

So, thanks to rounds of 67 (-5) and 74 (+2), Álvaro reach the second title of the season. His colleagues and also members of RCGG Alejandro James Chacon (T-15) and Nico Barclay (T-44) also had a great performance. Our girls, Alejandra Sanchez de la Fuente and Rebecca Fernandez finished T-32 and T-63.

In the other hand, one of our youngest members, Jaime Macias, was runner-up in the Pequecircuito of Zone C at Benalmadena Golf.

Congrats young boys!

3 of the 4 teams that represent the Real Club de Golf Guadalmina took the podium last Thursday in the Andalucian Interclubs Women Championship played at San Roque Club.

In handicap category, the "B" team of RCGG, formed by Rosa Sánchez, Anne Langgard and Ana García won by 5 strokes, while the team formed by Anne Okeeffe, Lina López and Inés García (team "D") finished third (tied in strokes with the second). But the thing did not end here, because in Scratch, Christina Birke, Joyce Heyster de Witt and Rosaleen Cunningham (team "A") were runners-up behind Real Club de Campo de Málaga. Our team "B" completed the podium and "C" also had a meritorious performance in 4th place.

What a way to represent us! Our most sincere congratulations.

Ángel Hidalgo will represent Europe in The Bonallack Trophy

Our member Ángel Hidalgo was selected by the EGA to represent the European Team in The Bonallack Trophy which will take place from the 8-10 of March in Doha. The Bonallack Trophy is an amateur golf competition on the model of the Ryder Cup which opposes every two years a European team and a team representing Asia/Pacific. Doha Club Club (design of Peter Harradine) will be the venue, a tremendous course wich host the 2018 Qatar Master.

It is all a pride for us that a player from our School represents the old continent. Enjoy the experience, Angel.
