La Reserva Club Sotogrande, designed by renowned American architect Cabell B. Robinson, once again proved to be a first-class and prestigious venue 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. The tournament was played in an exceptional ambience, with players especially highlighting the course’s superbly conditioned greens – unquestionably among the best on the Costa del Sol.
Category one was a tightly fought contest, ending in a three-way tie at the top with all players totalling 35 points. First place went to Juan Francisco Lazo Córdoba, second to Alejandro Martínez Arasso and third to Massimo Fiorucci. Tatiana Pogiba (38 points) won category two followed by Cristóbal Flores Infante (also 38) and Mario González Rodríguez (37). Scratch winner Timo Van T. Zelfde totalled 29 points.
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 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 Elías Samuel del Pino Fernández, and three paintings by Alejandro Hermann.
The La Reserva tournament was the 10th 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.
