Andalucía’s oldest golf club, Bellavista (inaugurated in 1916), hosted the first event of this year’s Andalucía Golf Challenge-Destination Dominican Republic PGA Ocean’s 4 Circuit. Located six kilometres from Huelva capital city, the course was in superb playing conditions, highlighted by magnificent Bermuda greens – fast and of a high-quality.
The weather was sunny, with cool temperatures in the early hours of the morning and a slight wind. One of the highlights of the day was the friendliness and great professionalism of the entire Bellavista Golf Club team, led by Alberto Rodríguez Payno.
At the end of play, the participants – who all received a welcome pack – enjoyed lunch on the clubhouse terrace.
Among those taking part in the tournament were two of the players who won trips to the Dominican Republic in the 10th edition of the Circuit (two years ago), José Andrés Torres and Manuel Godoy. Also noteworthy was the fact that, for the first time, the winners of both the first and second categories were women.
In addition to trophies and prizes for the scratch winner and top three finishers in each category (Zero Friction gloves and dozens of Bridgestone balls from Holiday Golf Group and Ahead caps from www.MyHedgeFund.club), other special prizes included Iberian ham shoulders provided by Bodega Bernardino de Aljaraque (Huelva) for nearest to the pin on two holes. There were also special prizes for the longest drive (women and), as well as a gifts raffle.
Celia Nebot Lorente won category one (with 39 points), followed by Juan José Hernández González-Meneses (36) and Santiago Ortiz Albarrán (35). In category two, the top three finishers were Mayte Castro Celma (41 points), Enric Meier Roig (40) and José Luis Mojarro Hidalgo (39). The scratch winner was Miguel Díaz del Morán Berdún (32 points). The prizes (Iberian ham shoulders) for closest to the pin were won by Juan José Hernández González-Meneses and Joaquín Rodríguez Rovira, while the longest drive prizes went to Marisa Artés Sanchís and Ignacio Pérez Garrido.
Bellavista Golf Club was the first 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, Segovia and Salamanca, 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.
