Five-star Spanish resort ... sunshine and golf .. what more could you ask?

Still time to enter the

Hacienda del Alamo

Festival (Feb 13-20)

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
If you want to escape the bad weather in Britain and Ireland, there is still time for you to enter the 3rd Hacienda del Alamo Women's & Girls' Festival, sponsored by Glenmuir, at the five-star Hacienda del Alamo Golf Resort, near Fuente Alamo in the Spanish south-east region of Murcia.
The Festival, from February 13 to 20, has prize categories for Under-16 girls, Under-18 girls, Ladies and Senior Ladies ... and we are accepting entries from professionals.
Just this week Sean Stiff, professional at the El Soto Golf Club down Malaga way, asked if he could partner his 12-year-old stepdaughter Sophie Phillips, handicap 28, in the curtain-raising better-ball pairs on Saturday, February 13.
The answer: Of course. The more the merrier. Tournament director Lee Harrington and Director of Golf Billy Sim will work out what kind of handicap to give Sean, probably +2.
Sophie, who goes to school, obviously, in Spain, can play in only one of the Under-16 girls' events, the two-rounder on the Monday & Tuesday.
To download an entry form, which gives you all the competition details, go to the top of the left-hand column on the Home Page of this website. Click on the relevant words, and up it will come.
Murcia is the preferred airport for Hacienda del Alamo Golf Resort (about 25min away). John Green is handling villa rentals for competitors.
