The magnificent Santa Clara Granada hosted the fourth leg of the 12th Andalucía Golf Challenge-Destination Dominican Republic Circuit. Designed by Enrique Canales and managed by Lola López Martínez, the course was in excellent playing condition and the weather was sunny, with hardly any wind and the ideal temperature for playing golf. Presenting a stunning mountain backdrop to the course, Sierra Nevada was still covered in snow, which could be viewed from several holes around the course, as well as from the clubhouse terrace.
The scratch winner and top three finishers in each category received trophies and prizes including golfing apparel, cases of wine from the Enate, Lau and Sommos bodegas (D.O. Somontano), and one dozen Bridgestone balls (Tiger Woods Special Edition for the scratch winner and E6 for the other players).
The winners of special prizes for longest drive and nearest to the pin received cases of D.O. Somontano wine, balls and MyHedgeFund.club caps. There was also a raffle and a magnificent cocktail reception in the clubhouse.
Stefan Vogt Sánchez won category one (with 40 points), followed by José Antonio Gil Montoya (39) and Kim Andreas Forsgren (37). In category two, the top three finishers were Manuel Carlos Hernández León (39), Miguel Bueno López (38) and Francisco de la Torre Moreno (37). Scratch winner Alejandro García Castro totalled 32 points. The prizes for closest to the pin were won by Stefan Vogt Sánchez and Emilio Martínez Benavides, while the longest drive prize went to Alejandro García Castro.
The Santa Clara Gramada event was the fourth of 30 tournaments scheduled to be held during the 12th edition of this hugely popular open amateur circuit, organised by Andalucía Golf/España Golf magazine. From February to September, the Circuit will cover the Andalucian provinces of Málaga, Cádiz, Huelva, Almería, Sevilla and Granada, in addition to Madrid, Salamanca and Segovia, with most of the events being held on the Costa del Sol.
The Circuit’s grand finale, which will decide the five winners of trips to the Dominican Caribbean, will be held at La Hacienda Alcaidesa Links Golf Resort on 24 September, followed by a gala dinner.
Access to the final will be direct for the winners of each category and the leading scratch player in all the qualifying tournaments, while the rest of the places in the final will be awarded based on the Benahavís Ranking, calculated from points obtained in each leg.
The Circuit is sponsored by ThirdHome.com, MyHedgeFund.club, Benahavís Town Hall, Sanitas and Bahía Príncipe Golf, and the main collaborators are D.O. Somontano, Holiday Golf, Holiday Golf Estates and Fairway+blue. Cadena SER and Andalucía Golf/España Golf magazine are the Circuit's official media outlets.
