EUROPEAN TOUR NEWS

Europe on top of the world The last time it happened was in March 1992, but the seemingly unparalleled achievement of Europe’s previous golden generation in occupying the top four positions in the Official World Golf Ranking was recently equalled by a new and massively ambitious band of brothers.

Suddenly, Kaymer is all the rage in his native Germany, where the major newspapers trumpeted the 26 year old from Düsseldorf as ‘our new golfing giant’ and a ‘golfing titan’ who has taken over the mantle of Tiger Woods.

Following on from The European Tour’s season of outstanding achievement in 2010, Europe’s finest continue to draw inspiration from the Major Championship victories by McDowell and Kaymer as well as a thrilling Ryder Cup victory in Wales.

Only 14 players have scaled the ultimate pinnacle and become Number One in the near 25 year history of the World Ranking. Now Europeans have filled that prized position for the past 18 weeks with first Westwood and now Kaymer sitting proudly on the summit.

For Ian Woosnam, Sir Nick Faldo, José Maria Olazábal and Seve Ballesteros, now read Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood, Luke Donald & Graeme McDowell.

It seems that success does, indeed, breed success as first Kaymer replaced Westwood as official World Number One for the first time and then Donald defeated the German in the final of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship to climb to a career-high third place.

In the Official World Golf Ranking published for Week 11 - 13th March 2011, Europeans account for six of the first eight places (Paul Casey seventh and Rory McIlroy eighth) while no fewer than ten Europeans and 12 European Tour Members in total, including South Africans Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, are filling slots within the top 20.

Donald, who succeeded fellow Englishman Ian Poulter as the latest winner of a prestigious World Golf Championship, expressed his belief that last year’s achievements have acted as a spur for the rest of The European Tour.

“The World Ranking makes very nice reading right now, for me and a lot of other Europeans.”

Graeme McDowell

“Having your peers doing exceptionally well does give you inspiration” declared the 33 year old, who beat Kaymer 3 and 2 in Arizona just 24 hours after his Ryder Cup team-mate had been anointed as World Number One. “It’s a motivator and hopefully we can all keep pushing each other forward.”

He continued: “European golfers have enjoyed a purple patch in the world game lately and it’s great to see. Having Lee as World Number One a few months ago was great, and now we have Martin up there and Graeme’s been playing well and I am just delighted to be a part of it.

“It’s a great feeling to keep this WGC title in English hands. To jump six places in the Ranking from ninth to third feels incredible and in terms of my work ethic and wanting it, I feel I deserve it. It’s fun for the players and fun for the fans as well.”

Almost exactly 25 years since the Official World Golf Ranking came into existence, Germany can lay claim to the first and most recent Number One. In April 1986 it was the redoubtable Langer who captured the coveted Number One spot and stayed there for a further two weeks.

Now, Germany’s newest golfing superstar enjoys the view from the top at the age of 26 and Kaymer insisted: “It is great to have four Europeans at the top of the World Ranking and even better to see my name right at the top of the list.” “It makes me very proud as a European but most of all a German. For so long, Tiger (Woods) and Phil (Mickelson) have been Numbers One and Two, so it’s great for us to change that. Lee, Luke and Graeme have all played consistently well for the past few seasons so hopefully we can stay up the Ranking for a little while yet.”

Kaymer admitted that the enormity of his

achievement has not quite sunk in yet. He said: “You might have to ask me in a month! I am going to enjoy it for however long it lasts although it doesn’t feel real at the moment.”

McDowell, the US Open Champion, admitted: “The World Ranking makes very nice reading right now, for me and a lot of other Europeans. If someone had told me that at some point in my career I would be World Number Four I’d be very proud and that’s exactly how I am feeling right now.”

Certainly the world order has changed considerably since 1992, when the soon-to-be Masters Champion Woosnam led the pack from Faldo, Olazábal and Ballesteros with Langer in sixth position behind Fred Couples. That week, the top 50 consisted of 27 Americans, 12 Europeans and 11 from the rest of the world. Recently the breakdown shows an equal number of Europeans and Americans.

4th Torrequebrada International College Charity Golf Tournament

The golf champion Miguel Ángel Jiménez took part on the 16th of last month in the press conference to launch the 4th Torrequebrada International College Charity Golf Tournament (CIT) which took place on 19th March at Valle Romano Golf.

The player from Malaga was very pleased to help out, despite his very busy schedule, in the events which this year were in aid of Cudeca, a non-profit-making foundation that provides care and specialist assistance to persons suffering from cancer in advanced stages and also lends support to their family members.

Within this context, Miguel Ángel Jiménez gave a beginner’s golf class to around thirty children on the practice range at Valle Romano.

Ildefonso Esquivel, manager of Valle Romano Golf, stated that “we have had no doubt in choosing this tournament, as it involves an initiative that helps an organisation such as Cudeca, which is worthy of benefitting from all our efforts. As a golf course, we consider ourselves lucky to get the chance to offer our facilities to hold this tournament. I would also like to reiterate this to participants who will be spending their hard-earned cash, as this is an investment destined for a good cause.”

For her part, Sonia Díez, director of CIT, added that “we have been organising this tournament for the last four years now, with the aim in mind of educating our children from a very early age in commitment and values and to encourage them to experience this together with their families and teachers. Being involved in an initiative that entails helping others is essential for children, above all seeing that their parents and teachers are also involved.

I would also like to draw attention to the invaluable contribution made by Miguel Ángel Jiménez. It is an honour for us to count on a person with the human qualities he has – apart from being a golf champion, he is able to bend over backwards, with great patience, to ensure a child gains their first experience with golf.

For us, his presence is essential in order to convey the values we promote. I would also like to highlight the generosity shown by Valle Romano in allowing us to use their golf course in these difficult times in which we are living.”

The manager of Cudeca, Marisa Martín, thanked “all those who are taking part in this initiative: to the Torrequebrada International College, which is changing the concept of education by providing teaching in values, to Valle Romano, for its generosity and its level of commitment, and especially to Miguel Ángel Jiménez, as it is very important for people from Malaga to support initiatives which are also from the area.”

On behalf of the Town Council of Estepona, Eduardo Cavadas, tourism technician from the Town Council and director of the Estepona Trade Fair Centre, said that “it is an honour for the municipality of Estepona to play host to such a magnificent event in favour of Cudeca. The presence of Miguel Ángel Jiménez at this event makes all the difference and lends extra prestige to the tournament.”

José Antonio Honorato, sales manager of Mercedes-Benz, also took part: “We are proud for you to count on us for the charity tournament at a time of crisis in our sector of the type we are currently experiencing. For this reason, we wanted to get involved by offering

Lastly, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, also took part by stating that “Cudeca is carrying out social work in which it is necessary to get involved.

Despite my very busy schedule, I am very pleased to have been able to help out with this fourth charity tournament organised by the Torrequebrada International College.

A fine example is being given to children via the support offered by Cudeca of values that are all too rare in modern-day society. On the other hand, I must thank Valle Romano, which has for a long time been lending support to tournaments on the European Golf Circuit, among them the Andalusia Open, which I organise and which will take places shortly. In actual fact three free tickets for the Andalusian Open were raffled at the Valle Romano tournament on the 19th of last month.

The event was open to all those persons who wished to collaborate and was a great success, with the raffle for a large number of gifts offered by different collaborators. These included tickets for the Andalusia Open Pro Am, a Spanish national football team shirt signed by Del Bosque, a ball signed by the Spanish national football team, an Iker Casillas shirt, signed by the Real Madrid players, a Unicaja shirt, signed by the players and medical check-up at Xanit, among others.

There was also be a musical performance given by the group Amargo Flamenco, in addition to various activities and workshops for children.

The Tournament Programme was as follows, 8:00 h. Reception for players 9:00 h. Tee-off 10:30 h. Children’s tournament for those over 9 years of age 11:00 h. Parallel recreational activities and children’s workshops 13:00 h. Children’s clinic with Miguel Ángel Jiménez 14:00 h. Lunch enlivened by the group Flamenco Amargo; Raffle and handing over of prizes

New season at the Golf School: Family and children’s courses Golf classes for children will be restarting on 18th February at Valle Romano. Another new feature will be Family courses on which parents and children will be able to enjoy golf together.

Courses for children will be open to those between 4 and 15 years of age. There will be blocks of 10 classes of one hour’s duration once a week, on Fridays from 17:30 h. to 18:30 h., and on Saturdays from 11:00 h. to 12:00 h. or from 12:00 h. to 13:00 h.

These courses consist of two levels. Level 1 is aimed at new students and includes a programme that introduces basic concepts: gripping the putt, learning about the clubs, warm-up exercises, and the rules and regulations of golf, etc. As for Level 2, enrolment will be open to former students and new ones with experience,

and includes hitting balls on the practice range using different clubs and the chance to obtain a licence and handicap.

The cost of the course is € 100 for new students and € 90 for those who are re-enrolling.

Classes take place during the following periods: - from 18th February to 23rd April 18 - from 30th April to 2nd July As for the Family courses, these consist of four classes a month, with a timetable arranged to suit students. At least two people are needed and the cost is € 80 for adults, with children going free.

Reservations can be made at the Club itself, by calling 952 800 600 or via reservasgolf@valleromano.es

Pro Shop, the heart of the course Isabel, Mª Carmen, Melissa and Mari Luz are the people in charge of one of the most strategic points on the golf course at Valle Romano: the Pro Shop. At the helm of this efficient team, which remains on duty 365 days a year for twelve hours a day (from 8:00 to 20:00 h.), is Ignacio Jiménez, the Caddie Master at Valle Romano.

The shop is the nerve centre of the golf course.

Two broad-ranging functions are performed which are vital to the smooth running of the entire mechanism that installations of this magnitude entails. On the one hand, the sale of golf-related products and, on the other, service to the occasional customer, season-ticket holder or member in a wide range of needs that can arise when playing.

As Ignacio Jiménez explains, “at Pro Shop we provide the most basic service on the course, which is payment of the Green Fee. This entitles one to go out onto the course

and play and includes either an electrically or manually-operated buggy. You can also reserve the practice range at the shop, either by purchasing tokens for the ball, renting clubs or booking golf courses.

However, our duties go far beyond the above. We are in charge of organising events on the course, we also offer the customer information about any needs they may have, and sell season tickets.”

The Caddie Master adds that “once on the course, a team of four Marshalls is in charge of attending to golf players. Yet when they come back to the Club House, they are once again in charge of the Pro Shop. Among other duties, we try to ensure that nothing is lacking in the changing rooms - towels and a wide range of amenities - so that the customer can be made to feel as comfortable as possible and take home a pleasant memory of their visit to Valle Romano”.

Players can equip themselves at out shop with everything they need to go out onto the course: balls, shoes, gloves, clothes, clubs, bags and tees, etc. Clubs and even products to protect oneself from the sun can be rented. The efficient team at the shop has undergone solid training which enables them to advise customers to ensure they purchase the most satisfactory things possible suited to their needs, tastes or style of play.

Jiménez says that “we normally work with boutiques, with two seasons: spring-summer and autumn-winter. We sell three brands, two of which are top of the range and one which is more basic, and all our products – accessories and clothes alike - are customized with the Valle Romano logo. Nearly all players like to take a home a souvenir of their visit.”

PRO TIP

Chipping - The Right Way! Richard McHardy’s Pro Tips Without doubt, developing a solid shortgame is the fastest way to reduce your handicap and gain confidence in your game. Many players believe that chipping requires extraordinary hand-eye coordination and natural touch, this is not exactly true! Anyone can become a great chipper of the game providing a certain amount of practice is put in. Firstly I must explain that chipping requires an element of of wrist hinge on the backswing, this will enhance your feel for the clubhead, promote a more descending hit and also help you judge the distance a great deal easier. Now I would like you to practice two drills which will help improve your technique. The first drill is designed to help relieve tension in your grip. All I would like you to do is take tennis ball and use it as a stress ball, squeezing it 15-20 times, now put your hands on the club and take a relaxed grip.

Next, I would like you to put an emery board under your watch (you can also use a couple of pens or pencils). This automatically flattens and strengthens the left wrist which is essential when you lead the club into impact.

Now hit plenty of different types of short chip shots, ensure that you are brushing the grass and be confident to hit a slightly downward strike. You will feel that the left arm and wrist remain solid through impact which is exactly what we are looking to achieve.

This might feel extremely alien for some players, however, for some of my students I have tried this out and they have noticed nothing unusual, probably because they are great chippers of the game! Try this out and stick with it, I guarantee results!

Formerly the summer residence of the Domecq sherry family, The San Roque Club sits on an enviable backdrop surrounded by lush hills & historic Cork Oak woods. Host of the 1997 Ryder Cup Gala Dinner, it was used as a base for both teams. Venue for the Spanish Open 2005 and 2006 as well as the European Tour Qualifying School Finals from 1993 to 2007, The San Roque Club holds a place in the heart of many a Tour professional.

Opened in 1991, and designed by the legendary Dave Thomas, the Old Course is rarely outside the top 5 courses in Spain. The first 9 holes wind through Cork Oaks whilst the back 9

are dominated by water hazards. The 18th hole can either make or break your game, adding a spectacular finish to some of the most beautiful 18 holes you will ever play.

The San Roque Club is almost unmatched for scenery & elegance. Membership is about exclusivity and the sense of belonging to a family of privileged golfers benefitting from the unique experience the club has to offer.

The natural beauty of the area, historic clubhouse, two championship 18 hole courses, equestrian centre, tennis and padel courts, gymnasium and renowned Japanese Restaurant Kamakura make it one of Spain’s top clubs.

La Reserva de Sotogrande is an exclusive golf club situated in a spectacular location, with stunning views of the sea and the mountains.

It has an 18-hole golf course covering a surface area of 72 hectares, a driving range, and one of the most salubrious clubhouses in Spain.

The 6,000 m2 Clubhouse has been designed in the purest Andalusian style. It has areas for the exclusive use of members, like the exceptionally large changing rooms, gymnasium, lounges and other member-only facilities. The interior has been very carefully thought out, with handmade wrought-iron fittings and hand woods, lending a rustic and refined ambience.

The restaurant has been influenced by the hand of the catering consultant, Ferrán Adriá, of NH Hotels, and the Club´s kitchen staff have been trained at the “El Bulli” catering workshop.

Signature Hole: Hole 17. Par 4.

A test even to players of the highest level.

A classic long par 4 with an impressive lake running along the entire of the right-hand side of the hole right up to the green. The play from the tee is to drive the ball towards the bunkers on the left, but to make the second shot easier you can flirt with the water and benefit from being able to fire your approach at the flag with slightly less concern.

Having received numerous awards, Valderrama is widely recognised as being the best course in Europe and one of the top golf courses in the world. As early as 1988, Valderrama began to host the newly-launched Volvo Masters, the flagship tournament of the PGA European Tour, and continued to do so until 1996.

In 1997 the Club hosted the 32nd Ryder Cup, won by Europe in a most thrilling finish.

Valderrama remains today the only club ever to have hosted golf’s pinnacle event outside its traditional homelands, USA and Britain. In 1999 and 2000, Valderrama went on to host the first two editions of the World Golf Championships

- American Express Championship, which were won by Tiger Woods and Mike Weir respectively. Valderrama is a private Members’ club, but a limited number of starting times are offered for visitors most days of the year.

Hole 4, Par 5. 516m. Trent Jones classified this hole as one of his best par 5s, and described it as a delight to the eye. From the first landing area you look up towards a green that is about 120 feet long and 40 feet wide. Behind it, a spring sends water cascading down along the right side of the green, finally falling about 10 to 12 feet into a lake that sits to the right of the green.

by Robert Trent Jones and opened in 1982.

The 16th travels dramatically downhill as it wends its way among a tapestry of trees until it reaches the green. The par-3 17th will doubtless cause havoc to many a player’s card. Although measuring just 135-metres this short hole provides the original “all duck or no dinner” tee shot. The 18th tee also provides a spectacle which is sure to cause a further tightening of the tummy muscles.

Known as Robert Trent Jones’ hidden treasure, La Duquesa is one of the Costa del Sol’s most spectacular and varied courses.

With long fairways, the front and back nines offer two distinctly different challenges. The first nine holes are what some refer to as ‘English-style’, with narrow fairways and high greens. The fourth hole, with its magnificent views, is particularly beautiful - but it can easily cause trouble on your scorecard.

The second nine are easier, with wide fairways, although the greens present additional difficulties, providing spectacular views over Duquesa Port, to the mountains and Gibraltar.

On the fifteenth the view even stretches as far as Marbella. Suites Duquesa Golf is the Resorts 5 Star hotel, overlooking the sea and the golf course. Exquisitely decorated with marble and stucco, it also features a Thalaso Spa. Signature Holes The 4th, 5th and 6th holes are known as AMEN CORNER, with a stroke index of 1, 7 and 3 respectively. An outstanding hole is the spectacular par 3 17th, stroke index 16. The wind force will affect your approach, you could play a 7 iron, a pitching wedge or a sand wedge, for this 108m shot. The views on the Africa and the Mediterranean are truly spectacular.

Casares Golf

La Duquesa

The objective of Casares is to entertain - and it does this very successfully. Its 9 holes are spread out with a varied design over the flat terrain of a valley and stand out for their fairways, on which precision is one of the keys to a good game.

With three par 3’s and one par 5, the course offers golfers the possibility of playing all sorts of shots. The course is not overly long - the par 5, 7th is the longest at 472 m, whereas the 4th hole is the shortest.

The prettiest hole of the course, and one of the prettiest of the Costa del Sol, is the 8th, as acknowledged by the majority of the Club’s

members. This may be due to the fact that it is a hole for recovery - it measures 298 metres, is completely straight and the green is surrounded by vegetation. The stylish clubhouse is a great place to relax in the bar, or out on the terrace.

Toughest hole: Without doubt the par 5 7th that demands a long and straight drive if attempting to hit the green in 2. Out of bounds on both sides of the fairway and water in front of the green add to the difficulty of the hole.

Best Par 3: 4th. Only 100 metres in size but the tee is raised over 80 feet above the green making club selection interesting.

Signature Hole: Hole 10. Par 4.

A beautiful downhill short par 4 with the green surrounded by water. The tee shot is very straight forward if you choose to play safe, however you may feel that at only 250 meters downhill and the wind behind that it is worth having a go with 3 wood or driver.

Signature Holes Hole 3: Probably one of the best Par 3’s on the Costa del Sol. Very intimidating, but a good shot slightly on the right of the pin will take you safely home. Hole 4: A drive then a dilemma: do you go for the green - Glory or Misery - or do you lag your second shot on to the intermediary plateau?

Without doubt El Paraiso Golf Club is a well designed course that golfers will never tire of playing and will look forward to returning for another chance to conquer!

Hole 6. Par 5. With many good golf holes to choose from, without doubt the 6th, a dogleg left par 5, must be the best hole on the course.

The drive has to be accurate to avoid two well positioned bunkers, left and right, and your second shot must favour the left centre of the fairway to miss the lake that catches any wayward ball. Finally, your approach has again to be accurate, to a two tiered green, to give you any chance of that elusive birdie.

Created in 1968, Atalaya Old Course was designed by Bernard von Limburger, the 1925 German Golf Champion who became his country’s finest golf course architect of the time. With wide fairways and large elevated greens, this championship course provides a challenge to golfers of all levels.

Elegant and mature with spectacular views of the magnificent La Concha mountain, it is the perfect oasis of tranquillity on the otherwise bustling and vibrant Costa del Sol. Its apparently benign parkland aspect with gently sloping fairways makes it an ideal course for the average club golfer -

but plentiful bunkers filled with sparkling ‘marmolina’ sand, fast greens, lush vegetation and fairways lined with olive, pine, cactus and eucalyptus trees prove a challenge for single-figure players as well.

Azahara Muñoz has been using the new Atalaya Golf 3,500 m2 short game area designed by Craig Cook - former design assistant of Robert Trent Jones - and roofed tee at the driving range. This area has just been opened for professionals and their pupils. Azahara has trained at Atalaya for over 11 years with her personal golf coach Fernando Vega Cabeza (Professional of the Atalaya Golf Academy).

There are plenty of scoring opportunities on the New Course, with a solid mix of holes and lengths. Two of the best par 3’s you will come across on any golf course are the 4th - teeing off with a mid-iron from a raised platform over the lake - and the 13th, a long iron or wood to a two tiered green with a steep bank on the left. Par on either of these exceptional holes is a good score. The long par 5 finishing hole will either make or break your score.

Designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior, every hole at Real Club de Golf Las Brisas has been carefully considered to be both pleasing to the eye and capable of challenging even the most experienced player. Numerous water

hazards and prudent bunkering combine with subtle dog-legs to suggest careful planning and good shot making is required in order to achieve the lowest scores.

Making customers feel happy about handing over their hard earned euros is one of the most difficult achievements to attain in business, but is something that Santa Clara manages on a daily basis. The secret is a well maintained, playable and enjoyable golf course combined with an exceptionally high level of service.

From check-in to the first tee, somebody is there to offer helpful advice with a smile.

The opening hole sits alongside the 9th, 10th & 18th, all of which lead towards or away from the magnificent clubhouse and one of the best practice facilities on the Costa del Sol. Designed by Enrique Canales

Busquets, the course has been created with respect for the natural environment, indigenous wildlife and vegetation. Santa Clara Golf Marbella provides a stimulating and unforgettable round for golfers of all abilities.

The par 3’s are perhaps where it is most difficult to hold a good score together, with hazards to contend with wide of the target.The 13th measures 139 metres from the ladies tee, 182m from the men’s, and a massive 208m from the pros. Forming part of the course affectionately known as ‘Santa Clara Corner’, (holes 12, 13 & 14) - what also makes this hole so daunting is the lake which protects the front of the green.

Designed by Robert Trent Jones in the late 80’s, this well established Championship 18hole course is 5,867 metres long with a par of 72. Marbella Golf has an imaginative and impressive layout and the course challenges professionals and amateurs alike. Surrounded by lush green hills and olive trees, Marbella Golf is unique, beautiflly complimenting the natural environment, it encompasses one of the largest green areas left on the Coast.

Each hole is unique in character and afford views of the azure Meditterranean Sea. The numerous bunkers and lakes have to be successfully negotiated if one is to achieve a

good score. Little valleys, ravines and gullies trap the unwary on the first few holes. The 11th requires particular care, with a sharp dogleg right amidst valleys and hills.

El Olivo Restaurant El Olivo is remarkable in form and content alike. Recently renovated, its elegant design reflects an understanding of eating according to which it’s not just what you have in your plate but a full experience that begins with the setting. In perfect interplay with the landscape outside -one of the most exclusive areas in Marbella- the art deco interior is like a harbinger of what you can find on the menu.

Miraflores Golf follows the gentle contours of the Sierra Mijas foothills and affords breathtaking views to the Mediterranean.

Designed by Falco Nardi and opened in 1990, the course has recently undergone considerable improvements. Measuring 5,148 metres from the yellow tees, each of the 18 holes offers a different challenge - on the fifth and sixth, for example, the first shot has to carry over water.

The twelfth is a huge 570 metres, divided by a lake - and there’s even more water danger on the fifteenth, where a moat completely surrounds the green.Members and visitors are always warmly welcomed.

This is a family orientated club, where young and old, novices and advanced golfers can enjoy the game - from practising at the Golf Academy and playing in well organised tournaments to socialising in the Clubhouse.

Miraflores Golf Restaurant: In the heart of the Course, diners enjoy spectacular views from the terrace. Renowned for the quality of its food, it is a must place to visit. Open 365 days a year to members and non-members, serving lunch and dinner. The delicious lunch menu is good value and our gourmet dinner and selection of wines is excellent. An ideal place for an intimate dinner, or for entertaining friends or colleagues.

This club has a well-earned place amongst the most elite on the Costa del Sol, offering challenging golf in unparalleled surroundings.

It affords views across the course to the Mediterranean, as well as inland to the mountains that lie to the north.

The opening hole is a fairly straightforward 289m par-4. The tee shot must clear a small lake and avoid the ravine to the left of the fairway. After that only a short iron should be needed to find the generous putting surface, guarded by three bunkers.

The splendid 19th century clubhouse epitomises the charm and character of the club. While not long, the course is full of interest and considered one of the best along the coast; each hole has its own particular character. Many of the tees are elevated and, on a fine day, the views from the 10th to the 16th holes are breathtaking.

The 11th is a spectacular left-handed dog leg, par-4, measuring just 286 meters. The elevated tee is at the highest point on the course, and long hitters will have to avoid running into the lake or bunker. The feature is a well-bunkered green with attractive waterfall. Take a moment to admire the sheer beauty of the setting from the ‘mirador’ behind the 11th green.

Located in the heart of the Costa del Sol within the “Golf Valley of Mijas”, only 15 mins from Fuengirola & 25 mins from Marbella. The course has been designed by Aymerich Golf Management to reflect the natural geography of the land and offer some degree of risk which players of all handicaps will enjoy.

With spectacular sea and the mountain views from most of the holes, the greens have an average surface area of over 500 m2 and are exceptionaly designed to provide a great experience for all players. Fairways are varied from one hole to another, wide in the landing areas with visible hazards. Rasied

tees give a perfect view of the hole and a more spectacular ball flight. Weekend golfers take note – there are no torturous holes, the sort that make you want to call it a day and head straight to the club house for a drink!

Hole 6, Par 3. From an elevated tee the view is of a green in a valley below with a small bunker at the front and a larger one to the left; of more significance is the large lake glistening menacingly on the right. The green, which slopes severely from back to front, is colossal and when the new trees spread their palms the hole will be a photographer’s delight and will remain in the memory bank for many a day.

to the greens. Campo America requires accurate and well-judged shot-making on the approach as nearly three quarters of the greens are perched or slightly elevated.

Campo America is a 6,009 metre par 72 with five par fives. The topography is similar to Campo Asia but the wide fairways make this a slightly easier driving course.

There are fewer fairway bunkers as well but the changes in elevation put a priority on correct club selection. The first three holes offer birdie opportunities to get the scoring going along nicely. After that, no two holes are alike requiring skilful shots

Signature Holes The testing index 2, sixth. A par-5 that requires accurate shot making to reach the narrow, elevated green. The spectacular, short 16th with its lake and fountain. From the tee you have a panoramic view of the resort.The downhill 18th, a fantastic par five. A par should be easily achieved on this hole but walking off with a birdie or even an eagle will provide a great talking point at the 19th Hole.

Campo Asia is not overly long at 5,925 metres but requires accuracy from all the tees. Drives that find the fairways will give the opportunity on most of the holes to attack the pins with the approach shots for potential birdies. Both the fairways and greens are well bunkered, and the majority of the tee shots, many of which are quite dramatic to comfortably wide landing areas, are either downhill or level.

The four par fives, with the exception of the 1st, are reachable in two. Beware of the apparently concealed contours of the greens. Water is present on only two holes and approximately half of the approach shots are to elevated,

well-defended greens. The four short holes offer tremendous variety, and although some require a carry over thick rough, all are easily reachable. This is an exciting course which puts a premium on accuracy and distance control.

Signature Holes The par-3, 2nd: Offers panoramic 360 degree views of the resort to Mijas village and the Mediterranean. The par-5, 14th: The approach shot needs to be accurate as the green is protected by water left and heavy bunkering right. The par-5, 18th: A real risk and reward hole where longer hitters can carry the ravine to set up an iron to the green.

David Leadbetter Golf Academy In addition to the sensational 54 holes of golf on offer, La Cala also has Spain’s only David Leadbetter Golf Academy. Practice facilities include a testing 6-hole par three course, a SAM Putting Lab, a grass driving range and putting and chipping greens.

The Third Course, Campo Europa, was opened in March 2005. The fairways are generous from the tees and the greens are slightly larger than on the existing courses. They are not severely contoured but are well bunkered and will be easier for the average golfer. The par 71 course measures 6014 metres.

Course designer Cabell Robinson stresses the difference between the three courses: “The three courses in La Cala Resort are all very different in character. The new course is the most different of the three because of the river Ojen – the others are in the hills.

They are three good challenges and none is

over long. Yet they are all very different in character. It gives a great option to golfers to have three 18-hole courses to choose from.”

Cabell went on to stress the advantages of the new course for the average golfer: “The new course is not only dramatic but will also be easier for the average golfer. The fairways are generous from the tees and the greens are slightly larger than on the existing courses.”

The par-4 fourth twice crosses the river Ojen.

Longer hitters can try to cross with the tee-shot but the safer play is to find the narrow fairway with a fairway metal or long iron. This leaves a long shot to the large, well-bunkered green.

Set in 138 acres of picturesque parkland that was formerly an avocado plantation, Santana Golf has been sympathetically laid out by the architect Cabell B. Robinson. The result is a magnificent course with wide and well defined fairways on level terrain, hence easily walkable, where water features play an important albeit not excessive part in the overall design.

Wide and well manicured putting greens are surrounded by strategically placed bunkers with crushed marble sand. Technically speaking, Santana Golf is a demanding course as the unique design of each hole is intended to give a continuous challenge,

even for the more experienced player. It is clear that Cabell B. Robinson has opened a jar of exquisite essences, designing a spectacular & aesthetically superb layout.

4th. Excellent use of the natural features have been made on this very challenging Par 5 hole.

Keep left to avoid the bunkers, aim second shot towards the right and hit third shot into the putting surface. A true test for a championship golfer. 10th. The second 9 opens with a Par 5 with a generously fairway and overwhelming scenic beauty. Play right of the bunker followed by a long iron short of the lake. The receptive long green is defended by bunkers.

El Chaparral Golf Club has become one of the most attractive golf clubs on the Costa del Sol, the result of the determination and efforts of Antonio Rubio’s family business.

With a premium service from the moment you arrive: a wooden roof covers 90% of the car park, immediate welcome service, collection of golf bags, specialised staff, impeccably decorated changing rooms.

With an original design by Pepe Gancedo, this is the only golf course on the Costa del Sol with 6 par 3’s, 6 par 4’s and 6 par 5’s. With a total length of 6000 metres, it offers a wide variety of holes and is quite a challenging

course, requiring high levels of accuracy and skill. When you have finished your game you can enjoy excellent service and food in the bar-restaurant, either inside or outside on its terraces, surrounded by pine woods and beautiful views over the Mediterranean.

The 8th is a tricky par 4 which requires a tactical approach. From an elevated tee a water hazard runs down the right hand side of the hole. An iron is the play here leaving a fairly short iron into the green. The par 3 tenth is probably the most picturesque hole. Tee off from an elevated position, with Mediterranean views, to a green approximately 30ft below.

Created by Robert Trent Jones Senior, golf course architect par excellence and world renowned for his work that spreads from the Mediterrranean to the Pacific.

Los Lagos, the oldest, dates back to 1976 and is one of the longest on the coast. It is characterised by wide fairways, large raised greens and more than a sprinkling of bunkers; lakes feature prominently on eight of the holes. It has a very open feel, however, as trees are sparse and there is only a little rough.

Trent Jones believed that “every hole should be a hard par and an easy bogey”. Mijas Golf International lives up to that belief, maintaining the sanctity of par with Trent Jones’ hallmarks of strategically placed water and sand, yet offering the high handicapper generous but gently undulating fairways and a general impression of wide open space. This is a very popular golfing complex with two superb courses.

No hole so characterises this course as much the 5th - some 617 yards (564 metres), curving seeming endlessly around a boundary wall and over a full 100 yards (91,44 metres) of fairway bunker, it approaches the green through a narrowing funnel with out of bounds left and large lake to the right.

The main feature which distinguishes this course from the other is the abundance of trees – hence the name – and its smaller size, as well as fewer water hazards. The greens are smaller, undulating and well defended.The Club House is an old Andalusian cortijo (farmhouse), and

beside it, one can feel the continual buzz on the terraces of the Restaurant, where the variety of clientele can be noticed; Mijas Golf has managed to mix, with success, the residents on the area with visitors from all over the world.

Signature Holes: The 2nd is a long par 4 for high handicappers.

Perhaps best to play as a par 5, watch that bunker on the right. It is a long second shot to the green. Keep to the right. The 8th might be the most difficult par 3 on the course but the par three 14th. is not too far behind. All the problems here are on the left side of the green.

Safe shot is short or to the right of the green.

The trees and plants within the course are typically Mediterranean with plenty of pine trees, Spanish oaks, cypress, orange trees, palms and olives plus a wide range of aromatic plants like thyme and rosemary.

Friendly staff, superb value for money, good quality course, complete with training area including an academy course, spacious natural grass driving range, putting green and chipping green.

Signature Hole The signature hole is number six, a par five dogleg right with the most amazing tee positions and views overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The drop in height from the tees is absolutely unique, and leaves most players with two more shots to reach the green, well protected by bunkers but not difficult to putt. This is one of those holes every golfer must play.

Lauro Golf is a course moderately flat that can be played without buggy. The designers intended that every shot was a challenge for the player, who must keep the concentration all the time and choose the right club. Some holes change their difficulty depending on the direction of the two main winds of the area, Levante and Poniente.

Designed by Folco Nardi and inaugurated in 1992, course and nature bond happily together.

Partly in a protected, construction-free area, Lauro commands superb views over the sea and mountains. Combining technique and strategy, this is recognized as one of the best

courses along the coast. The addition of a further 9 holes in 2003 provided an overall layout which becomes increasingly spectacular as the (literally) thousands of trees mature.

13: Par 5. “Joselito”. Possibly the most difficult hole with out of bounds at both sides, a lake at the entrance of a small green and a bunker behind. 26: Par 3. “Tragabuches”. Less difficult than it seems. The fear of the gully makes many players hit the ball too far to the right. 27: Par 5. “Niños de Écija”. The nicest hole and with the best views of Lauro Golf, protected by water on the right at the start and on the left at the entrance of the green.

Apart from the usual club house facilities there are two swimming pools, tennis and paddle tennis courts, basket ball and even a football pitch, although most of these facilities are only available to club members.

The first nine holes are in a typical English “parkland” style, only two of the holes, the second and fifth are slightly elevated. All the greens however are quite large and fast.

There has been quite a bit of earth moving to create a more rugged second nine holes, with the 10th, 11th and 14th to 17th holes being heavily influenced by surrounding lakes and the Guadalhorce river.

The variety of holes and the unsurpassable

Signature Holes If you want to get rid of some old balls then keep them for the 3rd hole, you might loose a few here. If you get a par then it might be a good idea to frame the score card for posterity. When you play the 7th hole it would be advisable to avoid the cactus garden on the left, not the kind of hazard one might find at home. For the 14th it might be better if you pack some binoculars in your bag, it’s huge, and if you are really unlucky you might get wet.

From it’s inauguration in August 2006, the spectacular 18 hole TPC course at Santa Clara Golf in Granada has developed into one of the best in the Granada region. Designed by D. Enrique Canales and located in Otura, less than 10 minutes from Granada City centre, the course nestles in the foothills of the breathtaking Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Created with great respect for the natural environment, the course is one of the longest in Andalucia and will challenge players of all standards. The front 9 with its bunkers, “barrancos” and ‘the hill’ is very different from the back 9 which has some long

undulating fairways, a lake and a few well placed trees to contend with - altogether making for an interesting and at times, intriguing game of golf. Try for a birdie on the par 4 6th hole. You never know your luck!

Santa Clara boasts a magnificent Clubhouse with a restaurant overlooking the back 9, offering wonderful views of the snow capped mountains from it’s terrace. Here you can get a wide variety of dishes from the excellent menu.

There is also a spacious SPA area with Jacuzzi, sauna, Turkish baths, thermal showers and a covered 15 meter long pool. An 80 m2 gym contains the most modern sports equipment.

History, Art & Culture

The province of Cadiz is the southernmost of the Iberian Peninsula . It has a perimeter of 586 Km, 260 of which are coastline. It has a surface area of 7,385 Km, divided up into 44 municipal areas. Its population totals just over one million, with the density being just over the national average.

The province played an important role in the discovery and colonization of America during the 15th century. Christopher Columbus and other famous sailors set sail from these ports on their voyages to the New Continent.

The 18th century, Cadiz’s “Golden Century” was dominated by the growth of overseas trade, giving the city its cosmopolitan character and introducing new liberal ideas and opening the door for democracy which came to fruition with the drafting of the constitution in 1812.

The province of Cadiz is an exceptional and unique area, whose qualities will delight those people seeking tourism that reflects true cultural, festive and ecological values, together with the authentic and essentially Andalusian customs and monuments.

Cadiz has an ancient history. The Tarshish and Phoenicians visited these lands more than three thousand years ago. It was here that they built the old ”Gadir” (Cadiz ) around 1,100 B.C., making it the oldest capital in the West. The Romans and the Visigoths also left their marks here. After 711, it was ruled by the Muslims until Alfonso X “The Wise” reconquered it in the middle of the 13th century and it became part of the Kingdom of Castilla.

Many cultures have left their mark throughout Cadiz ‘s long history. Examples of this are the “Tajo de las Figuras” cave paintings in Benalup; two Phoenician sarcophagus es currently in Cadiz ‘s Museum; the Roman remains of “Baelo Claudia” at Tarifa, and the “Carteia” at San Roque. The province has over 30 castles and fortresses, many of which are in a good state of repair.

In the field of religious art, the province also boasts an extraordinary collection of monuments. Good examples of this are the Cartuja in Jerez or the cathedrals of Cadiz and Jerez. As far as paintings are concerned, examples of works by El Greco, Murillo, Zurbarán and Goya can be found in many of the province’s churches and museums.

From Jerez (approx 45 mins) From Jerez Airport follow the “Salida” signs and then pick up signs towards the A4/E5 motorway and Cadiz.

At Junction 668 follow Chiclana and Algeciras onto the NIV road.

Continue on the NIV as it turns into the N340 for approximately 39km following signs for Algeciras and Vejer de la Frontera. After you pass turnings for Vejer and Barbate continue on the N340 for approx 4km. Montenmedio is on the right.

The Montenmedio golf course (6.260 meters, 18 holes and par 72) is different from all other Spanish courses. Not a single building affects its fairways and greens.

It is surrounded by forests of wild olive, cork oak and pine trees and has impressive views of the Atlantic, the white villages such as Vejer de la Frontera, Benalup and Medina, and also of the African coast of Tangiers and Espartel.

Playing its 18 holes is always fun and surprising: deer, rabbits, ducks and other animals accompany the player along his gentle round.

The club house is designed in neoclassic

Andalusia style with Asian influences and subtle furnishings and offers excellent golf services.

Signature Holes Spread over the softly rolling Dehesa hills and set amongst many century old trees, with sweeping, generous fairways flanked by a variety of flourishing, indigenous trees.

The long, 550m 12th is a model par-5 hole, this very gently undulating terrain presents memorable golf-course scenery.

Four par-5 holes are long and complicated by doglegs; most holes are par-4 and a few piquant par-3s complete what is overall a very interesting course.
