January 15 the cut-off point for entries

DEADLINE FOR HACIENDA DEL
ALAMO WOMEN'S WINTER
GOLF FESTIVAL APPROACHES

Only seven days to go (Tuesday, January 15) until the deadline for entries to the Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Festival at the five-star golf resort near Fuente Alamo and the city of Murcia in south-east Spain from February 10 to 23.

Who can enter the Festival?
All six events over the two weeks (2 x 36 holes, 2 x 18 holes stableford, 2 x 18-hole team) are open to Lady professionals and Lady amateurs (maximum handicap 20).
You do not need to come for both weeks and you do not need play in every event. You would only pay for the competitions you enter.

Unlimited use of practice facilities

There is Hacienda del Alamo Golf Resort management bargain offer of 55 Euros which entitles a competitor to unlimited use - as many buckets of balls as you like - of the excellent practice facilities for both weeks. A great chance to get your game in shape for the 2008 season.

No minimum or maximum age.

Separate prize lists for professionals (minimum 500 Euros cash first prize per competition) and amateurs (a combination of vouchers and prizes donated by Glenmuir).

When do entry fees have to be paid?

Not until you check in with Tournament Controller Colin Farquharson at the Tournament Desk at Hacienda del Alamo Golf Resort.

Is there a choice of weeks?
There certainly is. A competitor can go for both weeks or the first week only or the second week only. A week straddling the first and second weeks is also a possibility if it helps you take advantage of cheaper midweek flights
