ALBATROSS GOLF TOURS

NEWSLETTER JUNE 2011

WHAT’S GOING ON ?

Rory wins the US Open!

I’m sure most of you were like me and glued to the TV last night to watch Rory Mcllroy manage to cross the finish line in style after the disappointment at the Masters. Well done Rory lets keep the European Tour flag flying in the rest of the majors and I’m sure Rory will win more now that he has got the first one out of the way. It was also good to see Sergio Garcia back and playing well albeit still struggling with the putter and there was a great story with Robert Rock arriving at 3.30am on Thursday morning (I guess the celebrations after his first tour win the week before went on a bit too long!) played the course blind and very tired yet was amongst the leaders at half way at 1 under and finished his first US open in 1 over!

3 local courses selected for Euopean Tour Qualifying School

Last Monday the European Tour Qualifying School Phase 2 courses were announced – Last year both El Valle and Hacienda Del Alamo were selected and for this year we have gone one better as 3 out of the 4 courses required are in our very own corner of Spain. Having been selected last year El Valle then went on to receive the Spanish Seniors Europen Tour event where Carl Mason came home to finally beat Tommy Hortons record of most wins on the Seniors Tour. After 20 years away the tour school will also be visiting La Manga utilising the South Course. More significant maybe is that the 3rd course selected is Las Colinas Golf and Country Club – only now been opened 1 year this course continues to be the most requested course in the area and is building on its Golf World award of one of the top 5 new courses worldwide in 2010.

For those golfers who continue to believe the better courses are further south in the Costa Del Sol or over the border in Portugal may just have to think again
