News

Our member Juan Carlos Osorio, thanks to rounds of 69 and 72, won the 4th event of the year of the famous winter tour in Europe (The Gecko Pro Tour), on the Asia course at La Cala Golf.

Remember that Juan Carlos started this 2018 with good performances at El Parador (T-17), Lauro Golf (T-18) and La Quinta (T-10). So, with the victory of last week, confirms the good form.

This week the Gecko Pro Tour visits La Quinta again and the news that we receive cannot be better: Juan Carlos (68 today and 2 shots from the leader) will fight tomorrow for the 2nd  victory of the season.

Congrats!

Lukas Pany won the Finish Open in Lauro, Ángel Hidalgo the Andalusian Cup and now Álvaro Mueller-Baumgart wins the Barbésula Trophy in La Cañada.

In windy conditions, the young player of Guadalmina did not lose his calm despite being behind of his rivals much of the final round. But it ended with a partial of PAR from 13 to 18, enough to win by 1 shot.

What a beginning of 2018 for Guadalmina!

Good performances also of Alex Field (4th), Alejandro Chacón (8th) and Rebeca Fernández (7th).

Angel did not give options at any time. 4th round absolutely perfect (free of bogeys) and victory with 5 shots of advantage.

It was the tournament that he had left to win. Absolute Spain Cup, Puerta de Hierro Cup, Spain U-18 International, Europe Team Cup, Comunitat Valenciana Cup and, now, in the club where it all started, has won the prestigious Andalusian Cup.

The players highlighted the good conditions of the course despite the rain of the first days.

Congratulations champion.

What will be next?

Results: https://www.nextcaddy.com/tour/24581

3 rounds under par (69-70-71) for our young member and solo leader. Hidalgo has a clear road map and everything indicates that he will be fighting for victory until the last hole. Today has not been an easy day, the wind at times blew very happily and sometimes gusty, so it made difficult the shot choices of the players.

His most immediate pursuer is the player from Madrid Eugenio López-Chacarra (1 shot behind Angel). Lukas Pany (68, best card of the day) and Calvin John Greschner managed to pass the cut as well.

C’mon Angel!

18 teams, consisting of 1 pro and 3 amateurs, met on the penultimate day of the year to contest the VIII Pro Am of the Academy.

The winners were: Casto Gómez Jr, Rebeca Fernandez, Alberto Lora and Valeria Ramírez.

On the other hand, we take the opportunity to commemorate the winners of the Academy Annual Ranking 2017, a fun and competitive ranking, the proof is that in several awards, we did not know the winner until the last tournament. The winners took, among other things, vouchers for technical lessons with our professionals, which makes us think that a 2018 full of success awaits us.

Congrats!

For the end of the season, the Club organized an excursion to Cádiz (Campano Golf, in Chiclana), this weekend of December 1-2, where the RFGA celebrated the end of its circuit.

Under the "hard hand" of our teacher Salva Ruiz, we have evidence that enjoyed the 10 children who traveled with the club and also the 4 who decided to travel with their parents on this occasion. Thanks to the parents and to Salva for the photo report that you will see below and for caring for and supporting the children.

Today, the usual area of the driving range will be closed until 12pm due to maintenance work. 

You could practice at the end of the drivingrange, close to the p&p.

When maintenance work ends, the tee line would be the place to practice.

Thanks a lot and sorry for the inconvenience.

None of the 4 players of Guadalmina who reached the quarterfinals could take the trophy, but even so, the performance of our boys was outstanding.

Álvaro Mueller was defeated in the quarterfinals by champion David Puig, Hidalgo lost with his friend Pany (after, he lost in semis with Romero) in a beautiful match, with play-off included. Also in the semifinals Felipe Barrena lost his match in the 3rd hole of play-off.

It was lovely to see members watching and encouraging the guys during the 4 days, especially from the quarterfinals. They fell, yes, but with their heads held high.

What a great future awaits you, guys. Congratulations to the four.

4 of the 8 who have reached the quarterfinals of the Puerta de Hierro Cup are members of Guadalmina (Hidalgo, Pany, Mueller-Baugmart and Barrena). No matter what happens now, success is already a reality. In fact, several of them could still be found in the final; Angel and Felipe or Lukas and Felipe, Angel and Álvaro or Lukas and Álvaro. Tremendous.

Álvaro and Ángel won with solvency their matches (5 and 3 and 5 and 4 respectively), while Felipe (2 and 1) and Lukas (2 and 1) suffered to defeat Zak Zarkaletsos and José Mateo.

The one with the toughest match is the youngest of us, Alvaro, as he faces the feared catalan David Puig. Felipe will play against Esteban Vazquez, one of the highest handicaps of the tournament (1.1), but he beated heavyweight Gorospe, so he has been playing well. Finally, Hidalgo and Pany will face in the first match of the day at 8,30am.
