Designed by Severiano Ballesteros, the magnificent Los Arqueros course in Benahavís municipality on the Costa del Sol once again hosted an event on 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.
Players were able to enjoy the golf in a pleasant atmosphere, with the day starting off mildly cloudy so not excessively hot. The course was in excellent playing condition, as is customary at this club managed by Antonio Lantero.
Francisco Gil García won category one (with 40 points), followed by Stephen Lucas (39) and John Birch (also 39). In category two, the top three finishers were Juan Francisco García Hernández (42), Javier Burgués Hoyos (40) and Radik Yamilov (39). Scratch winner Francisco Javier Carrere Lovera totalled 36 points. The prize for closest to the pin was won by Stephen Lucas,, while the longest drive prizes went to Paula Martín Montero and Russel Embery.
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 Los Arqueros event was the 18th 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.
