Sunny southern Spain here they come!

FRILFORD HEATH FOUR ADD TO
NUMBERS FOR HACIENDA DEL
ALAMO WOMEN'S FESTIVAL

By COLIN FARQUHARSON (Tournament Controller)
Four ladies from Frilford Heath in Golf Club are the latest entries to the inaugural Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Golf Festival.
The Festival, which has six competitions, open to Lady Professionals and Lady Amateurs - separate prize lists - over the two weeks, runs from Sunday, February 10 (first official practice round over the Dave Thomas-designed 18-hole course at the five-star Hacienda del Alamo Golf Resort near Fuente Alamo in the Murcia region of south-east Spain) to Saturday, February 23.
Jane Binning (2), Annie Gowing (5), Kate Evans (7) and Judy McCairns (9) are all single-figure handicap players but we did raise the handicap limit to include all Silver Division players (i.e. maximum 20) just in case there were those of you out there who were desperate to come but did not have a single-figure handicap.
Buggies are not mandatory but will be permitted during all six Festival events.
Director of Golf Billy Sim has obtained a reduction in the hire cost for Festival competitors - only 10 Euros each for a shared buggy, 20 Euros if you want to go solo.
Electric trolleys are also available for hire.
The countdown has begun .... if you have not entered so far, get cracking before Christmas, please!
