HdA FESTIVAL IS FOR HANDICAP

GOLFERS AS WELL AS THE

PROFESSIONALS AND
SCRATCH PLAYERS

BY COLIN FARQUHARSON (Festival Controller)
This is your last weekend for thinking about entering the Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Golf Festival in sunny south-east Spain from February 10 (checking in for the first week) to February 23 (second team event rings down the curtain).
Tuesday, January 15 is the closing date for entries.
I had an E-mail last night from two players with handicaps in the 15 to 16 range. They said they would not be coming because the Festival was aimed at professionals and very low handicappers ... and there was "nothing for them."
WRONG!
Yes, the Festival is primarily geared to give the "better" players a chance to get in some serious practice at five-star facilities for the new season plus the bonus of low-key competition to help put an edge on their game.
But it is a Festival for all Female golfers. There will be handicap prizes in each of the six events over the two weeks. Take my word for it. The professionals will have their own cash prizes list (subsidised by Stewart Spence, owner of The Marcliffe Hotel & Spa, Aberdeen); there will be an amateur scratch prize list and, as nobody can win two prizes in the same event, those with bigger handicaps should come into their own in the handicap prize list.
And, I almost forgot, there will be a prize list for Under-18 girls.

Glenmuir, the Scottish company with worldwide standing, are supporting the amateur prize lists.
Let's hope that has made up your mind. Go for it!
