After 6 years, Puerta de Hierro Cup said goodbye to Andalucía

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.

Chances of win in the Puerta de Hierro Cup

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.

Puerta de Hierro Cup, let the show begin!

From Saturday 28th to Tuesday 31th  a total of 64 players will fight for the prestigious Puerta  de Hierro Cup in Guadalmina, the oldest in the national amateur scene. A Cup that, by the way, celebrates its centenary this year.

 

Much of the focus will be on local player and current champion Angel Hidalgo, who, in addition, turns out to be the lowest handicap of the whole field (+4.0).

 

This afternoon we have been able to chat with Angel and despite feeling that his swing is not quite in place, is very eager to start and defend the title at home.

 

We remember that it is played under the modality of match play without prior classification and the table of matches will be established by the Tournament Committee drawing, with two heads of series

 

In addition to Hidalgo, we will also have Lukas Pany, Felipe Barrena, Álvaro Mueller-Baugmart and Alex Field, all of them members of the RCGG.

 

Good luck to all and, above all, try that the Cup stays at home!

 

We encourage you to come to Guadalmina and see the show.

 

North Course host another RFGA tournament

Tremendous success of participation. More than 120 children were summoned in Real Club de Golf Guadalmina for the dispute of a new test of the Circuito Juvenil and Benjamin.

 

Among those 120 children, 29 were from our School. Nicolas Barclay (scratch champ Cadete), Evelina Stanikova (scratch champ and hdcp Junior), Rafael Ramirez (champion hdcp Cadete), Alejandro Chacón (sub-champion scratch Cadete) and David Waller (sub-champion scratch Cadete) were our best performances.

 

Whether at home or not, the truth is that there are always some of our boys in the top positions. Awesome.

 

Congratulations to all winners and participants!

Angel Hidalgo almost won in Granada

3 professional tournaments played and 3 great performances. The amateur Ángel Hidalgo debuted in the Gambito Tour with a 6th place in Jerez, followed by an 8th in the Spanish Championship PGA. Thanks to 2 solid rounds under par at Santa Clara Golf (Granada) fought for the win until the last holes, where it finally was 3rd tied.

 

Haiko Dana, also a member of the club, managed to pass the cut and finished T-42.

 

Angel arrives in a great shape for the title defense at the Puerta de Hierro Cup, which will be host in Guadalmina from October 28th to 31st.

 

Our most sincere congratulations and much encouragement for the rest of the season, Angel.

Amazing win by Azahara Muñoz at the Spanish Ladies Open

The Cup stays home again. Azahara Muñoz conquers the Andalusia Costa del Sol Open de España in his home in Guadalmina, with his people, displaying a brilliant game. According to the words of his coach, Marcelo Prieto, “is the best version that I had seen Azahara and that is why we should not be surprised if we soon see her again in the Top 20 world.

 

The joy on Sunday was immense; fans, friends, family, club workers, organization, including the Ladies European Tour, aware of the physical problems (wrist injury and “appendicitis”) and confidence problems (change of coach) of the sampedreña during this year. All were excited. Even his rivals.

 

We had read in an interview something like: "Dad, everyone thinks I'm going to win, but If I do not win ...". Won! With a final round of 3 under Azahara ended up prevailing on Ciganda and Pace with 2 strokes of advantage.

 

Thank all club members for the involvement during the tournament, whether volunteers or spectators, the understanding they have had during these past weeks, when, from one day to the next, we were forced to close the course to perform maintenance. To all the workers, who have had to multiply to try to reach everything, to Deporte & Business, organizers of the event, especially Iñigo and Alicia for their impeccable management and great human treatment. To the Ladies European Tour for trusting us, all the spectators that from Thursday has been visiting us, and of course, to all the institutions and companies that without them it would not have been possible to carry out this tournament: RFEG and RFGA, Turismo de Andalusia, Tourism Costa del Sol, Mancomunidad de Municipios de la Costa Del Sol, Reale Seguros, Consejo Superior de Deportes, Ayuntamiento de Marbella, Ayuntamiento de San Pedro Alcántara.

 

Special mention too deserves the great tournament of the other local player, Noemí Jiménez (21st). Bravo!

 

We will never forgot this magic week.

 

Congrats Aza, so proud of you!
