Only 50 days to go to deadline

for THE Winter Festival

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Only FIFTY days to go to the January 15 deadline for entries to the 2nd Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Golf Festival at the five-star Spanish golf resort in the Murcia region of south-east Spain.

Remember, Murcia Airport is the one you should fly into. It is only 20min from Hacienda del Alamo Golf Resort.

Alicante Airport is an option but it is more than one hour away from the Resort.

John Green of Hacienda Golf Properties has become the Festival's "preferred partner" for the rental of villas/accommodation at the five-star resort.

That means if you are going to the Hacienda del Alamo February Festival, you should do one of two things, or maybe both.

1 E-mail John Green at info@hdagolfproperaties.com to find out what he can offer you and at what price.

2 Log on to John Green's website - http://www.hdagolfproperties.com/ - and see for yourself what he has to offer.
