Azahara Muñoz gives us the bag she used in Rio 2016 Olympic Games

Today we have lived a historic moment in the Club. Our honorary member Azahara Muñoz has given away us with the replica of the golf bag she used, together with her great friend Carlota Ciganda, at 2016 Rio Olympics Games, where she finished in position 21.

 

This bag will be exhibited in the Club Pro Shop soon, to the delight and enjoyment of all members.

 

Aza, thank you very much for this gift and for being how you are, the best ambassador of Guadalmina, of the Andalusian, Spanish and European golf.

RFGA and Guadalmina reunited again for the Junior Circuit

135 children from all over the Coast, 28 of whom from our School, have reunited yesterday in our North Course to celebrate once again a Junior Circuit of the RFGA.

 

With perfect weather conditions (soft cold morning and sunny day, without wind), we lived a very good golf atmosphere.

 

We were especially excited to receive the congratulations of a member and neighbour of 8th hole for the good behavior of each and every kid. They did not leave a pitchmark without fixing!

 

Congratulations to all these children, parents and pros who teach them the etiquette and take care of the course.

 

As for the results, we want to congratulate the 3 champions and runner up of the Club:

 

  • Samuel Love -> Scratch winner - Benjamin
  • Lucía Morales -> Scratch & Handicap winner – Infantil
  • Carlos Mendoza -> Champion Scratch and Male Child Handicap
  • Alejandro Chacón -> Sub-Champion Scratch Cadet Masculino

 

Thank you Royal Andalusian Golf Federation for everything you do for children's golf and for giving us the opportunity, year by year, to enjoy them.

October tournaments – First fortnight

FINAL JAVIER ARANA CUP (September 28th)

 

We welcomed autumn with the Final of Javier Arana Cup 2019, which on our 60th anniversary, we had the opportunity to organize it. It was an important challenge for us to move the operation to the 11th Tee (converted into Hole 1) to preserve the original course of the great Spanish designer, but the result was spectacular.

 

We have the representation of the 9 “Arana courses ” in the Final: Cerdanya, Race, Aloha, Rio Real, Neguri, Ulzama, CCVM, Saler and Guadalmina. But none of them could beat the super team of Guadalmina, formed by Francisco Castaño, Marc Mueller-Baumgart, Rosa Sánchez, Fermín López and Hans Wielaard. The consequence of this incontestable victory is also organizing, next year, the Final.

 

Final results

 

CAPTAIN'S DAY (October 5th)

 

Pedro Ángel Alonso and Begoña Urcelay revalidated the title achieved in 2018 thanks to an amazing regularity and understanding: they scored in 9 holes each and made 23 points in the front nine & back nine (46 stableford points). And despite touching perfection, they won with just one shot of advantage over the pairs formed by Antonia Silva & Víctor Jorge Caballero and Rafael Tineo & Mª Patricia Mantel.

 

Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to the captains of both sections (Linda Jones and Antonio Nuño) for an amazing organization. You are being exemplary captains.
