El Paraíso in Estepona municipality made its debut on the Andalucía Golf Challenge Circuit with a hugely successful event at the Gary Player-designed course. This is the 12th year of the annual circuit, which offers the main prize of five week-long trips to the Dominican Republic.
The tournament aroused so much interest that places were sold out well in advance, and a total of 140 players teed up in the event. They included Pedro Álvarez, one of the winners of the European Team Championship representing Spain who, interestingly, in the last two annual editions of the circuit, has finished third in the final – thus narrowly missing out on one of the trips to the Caribbean, which are reserved for the top two in each category plus the scratch winner.
Juan Ostos won category one (with 39 points), followed by Jose Andrés Torres Cabral and Iker Mendizábal Iturriza (also both 39). In category two, the top three finishers were Calin Pascu (42 points), Vicente Rodero Rodero (41) and Juan Palomo Marín (also 41). Scratch winner Enrique Alonso Ruisánchez totalled 37 points. The prize for closest to the pin was won by Vicente Rodero Rodero, while the longest drive prizes went to Sofía Pérez Escarcena and Unai Mendizábal Iturriza.
The scratch winner and top three finishers in each category received trophies and prizes including golfing apparel from the Fairway-blue boutique in Puerto Banús, 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 first and second category and scratch winners, who qualified directly for the grand final, were also presented with paintings by renowned artist Alejandro Hermann.
In addition, a special gifts raffle included a CaddyTalk Minimi Rangefinder – a small-sized, high-precision and image-quality laser measurement device – and three paintings by Alejandro Hermann.
The El Paraiso event was the 23rd of nearly 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 covers 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.
