Los Lagos, one of two magnificent courses at Mijas Golf designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., once again drew warm praise from players competing 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.
Such is the success of this popular Costa del Sol course as a regular part of the Circuit that once again sold-out signs had to be hung well in advance of the tournament, resulting in many disappointed players missing out on a tee time.
Halfway through the event, near the 10th hole, a tent was set up where Iberian ham (with a skilled cutter on site), cheese and drinks were served. This refreshment stand was a spectacular success thanks to the quality of the products and the revitalising effects of a welcome drink on what was a particularly hot day.
Also well received was the CaddyTalk Minimi Rangefinder, a premium product that stands out from the competition for its size, accuracy and image sharpness. All the players tested it out and were blown away by the high quality of the laser measuring device, with the exception of two of the participants... who already knew about it because they had bought one before! José García Álvarez was the lucky winner of a Minimi Rangerfinder that was raffled among those taking part in the tournament.
Enrique Gómez Gómez won category one (with 39 points), followed by José Miguel Rodríguez de Pablo (38) and Gonzalo García Frías (37). In category two, the top three finishers were Rafael Muñoz Gómez (44 points), Rafael Rubio Lacambra (39) and Sven Leiner (38). Scratch winner Jussi Harju totalled 35 points. The prize for closest to the pin was won by Raúl García Jiménez, while the longest drive prizes went to María Ruiz Rodríguez and Jussi Harju.
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 winners of special prizes for longest drive (men and women) and nearest to the pin received cases of D.O. Somontano wine, balls and MyHedgeFund.club caps.
The Mijas Golf leg was the eighth 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, 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.
