The magnificent Fairplay Golf & Spa Resort in Benalup (Cádiz province) was the ideal setting for another leg of the Andalucía Golf Challenge Circuit. This is the 12th year of the annual circuit, which offers the main prize of five week-long trips to the Dominican Republic.
Play began in cloudy conditions, just the right temperature for playing golf, and there was none of the wind that had blown strongly the day before. Towards the end of the morning the sun made its appearance. The course was in excellent condition, providing a pleasant surprise for those playing it for the first time. After the tournament, the resort hotel served an appetising lunch coinciding with the prize ceremony.
Roberto Fernández Gallo won category one (with 40 points), followed by Orlando Oio Vázquez (38) and Georges D’Anthes (38). In category two, the top three finishers were Yolanda Arauz Ojaguren (40 points), Sergio Rubiales Ortiz (38) and Santiago Gutiérrez Palomo (37). Scratch winner Carlos Ortega Amézaga totalled 32 points. The prize for closest to the pin, sponsored by IdeaTerraza, was won by Sergio Orovio , while the longest drive prizes went to Carmen Palmero and Carlos Ortega.
The scratch winner and top three finishers in each category received trophies and prizes including 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 two 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 – which went to Cristina Valverde García, and three paintings by Alejandro Hermann.
The Fairplay Golf & Spa Resort was the 12th 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 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.
