The magnificent La Cañada Golf Club, designed by legendary golf course architects Robert Trent Jones and Dave Thomas, made a successful debut as one of the legs of the 2022 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.
On a day with hardly any wind and highlighted by pleasant temperatures, more than one hundred players enjoyed this magnificent 18-hole course, which is publicly owned by San Roque town hall and managed by Ignacio Sánchez, with Ana Vega as president. They were also able to enjoy a superb cocktail reception served by the team led by Amanda.
The La Cañada event was the 24th 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.
Ismael Ortega Calvente won category one (with 44 points), followed by Juan Andrés Lara González (41) and Thomas Gerard Hanrahan (40). In category two, the top three finishers were Pedro Lechuga García (41 points), Esteban Perez Alberch (40) and Alejandro López Meléndez (also 40). Scratch winner José Ledesma Gavira totalled 38 points. The prize for closest to the pin was won by Rafael Rubio Lacambra, while the longest drive prizes went to Patricia Tamés Ortega and Kim Forsgren.
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 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 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 at Gran Hotel Guadalpín Banús.
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, Turismo Costa del Sol, Benahavís Town Hall, Sanitas, PGA Ocean’s 4 Bahía Príncipe, Bahía Príncipe Golf and Bahía Príncipe Hotels & Resorts, 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.
