Joseba Torres, nephew of the Masters winner, Jose María Olazábal, was the only one capable of making fewer shots last week than Álvaro Mueller-Baumgart in Font del Llop during the last Spanish Championship REALE U-16. Regularity in pure state for the young promise of the Club: 76-76-75.

This great performance only confirms its excellent state of form. Champion of the Barbésula Trophy in La Cañada, National Puntuable Champion in Hacienda Riquelme, Scratch Champion Youth Circuit in Guadalmina ... and, now, this 2nd place in the Spanish Championship.

Superb, Alvaro!

17 children of the Academy, accompanied by our teacher Salvador Ruiz, were participating in the Puntuable Zonal National in Playa Serena this weekend in some adverse weather conditions. "Tarifa would like to have the wind that it does in Almería", Fernando Ramírez told us.

Well, the wind was not enough to destabilize our kids: they took 4 of the 8 trophies:

Rebeca Fernández, “Infantil” Champion

Alejandro Chacón, “Cadete” Champion

Evelina Stanikova, Runner-up “Cadete”

Nicolas Barclays, Runner-up “Cadete”

Congratulations to the winners and all their mates. Check here the news of the RFGA In the following link you can check the news of the RFGA. Results here.

Meritorious performance also by Jaime Macías (5th with 38 shots in the Pequecircuito of “El Candado”, category under 8 years) and our pros Noemí Jiménez (11th in the LET - leaderboard here) and Azahara Muñoz (T28 in the LPGA - results here).

#GuadalminaPower

As we told you two weeks ago after the Ana Inspiration http://www.guadalminagolf.com/noticias/noticias.php?id=681&num_pag=0  Aza is playing as the one who invented this sport: just amazing! The victory will come. This week has returned to be very close, finished 2nd solo after shooting the best card in the final round (67), just behind the young Canadian Brooke Henderson. The sampedreña did not finish 2nd in a LPGA tournament since February 2014.

Our most sincere congratulations, Azahara.

With the presence of Azahara in Hawaii, there were 8 tournaments with representation of Guadalmina (historical data). And, as always, there were outstanding performances:

Spanish Open: Ángel Hidalgo missed the cut by 3 shots but managed to play under par, fighting until the end. It was his first tournament in the European Tour and it seemed like it was one more. Congrats to the winner Jon Rahm and all those who made it possible for this Spanish Open  to be a resounding success. Results:

Thank you so much everyone for leaving the Club in such a good place, regardless of the result.

Dear Members;

As agreed at the last General Meeting of the Club, we will shortly begin work on improving the practice areas, located at the back of the driving range.

These works will include a putting green, a chipping green a long game area, including a tee line of artificial turf and two bunkers one for the short game and one for the long game.

During the works, which will begin on Monday April 16 and which we estimate lasts 45 days, it will not be possible to practice from the back of the driving range, therefore we kindly require Member's collaboration, avoiding as much as possible the practice intensively, to allow practice to the maximum number of Members.

Also during these weeks classes of the Junior School, on Saturday morning, will be adapted to avoid as much as possible causing incoveniences.

We are sure that once completed, we will all benefit from this new area to practice, which will allow us to reduce the pressure on the existing one.

We thank you in advance for your collaboration and we regret any inconvenience that may arise.

Yes, it's the Let Acces Series (European 2nd division) but this 3rd place is worth a lot. As you know, Noemí could not maintain the category last year in the Ladies European Tour but she has a conditional card (she can play some tournaments) and this year she combines both circuits. The goal is clear: either to do very well in the LET tournaments and keep the card, or to earn the rights via LETAS being up in the rankings at the end of the year.

And at the moment things do not look bad; 3rd place in "Terre Blanche Ladies Open" in the 1st tournament of the season in the satellite circuit, after signing rounds of 69 and 72.

Next stop, Morocco, in the course of the Moroccan Royal House, "Royal Golf Dar Es Salaam" (Lalla Meryem Cup), tournament corresponding to the Ladies European Tour. Here, after 5 tournaments, Noemí is 53rd in the rankings.

C’mon Noemí!

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!
