Women’s Golf Day was celebrated internationallyon Tuesday, the 4th of June, and Atalaya Golf & Country Club took advantage of the day to honourwomen’s golf. Atalaya’s Director of OperationsAlfredo Calle, with the support of Atalaya’sCaddy Master staff, organised the day’s activities. Some 100 golfers from all areas of theCosta del Sol competed in an 18-hole individualStableford tournament on the New Course. Competitors gathered on the tee boxes of their designated starting holes for a 09h30 shotgun start. In keeping with the theme of the day, the majority of participants were women. The golf tournament offered four categories, and First Place trophies were awarded to the winners in each of the four classifications. In Ladies’ Category One, Fiona Shaxon from Sotogrande took First Place, with 37 points. The winner of Category Two was Belinda Romero Pineda from Almenara, carding 34 points. In Men’s Division One the top honour went to Atalaya member Franciso Siconolfi, who posted 33 points. In Men’s Division Two, Paul Wiget, another Atalaya member, placed first with a spectacular 35 points. Atalaya’s former Men’s Captain Richard Phillimore was the proud recipient of “Nearest to the Pin” honours. His prize was an impressive assortment of confectionery delights from Café Les Deux, Marbella. The day proved to be thoroughly enjoyed by all and was packed with surprises. The first was a very welcome and unexpected sack lunch, compliments of La Sala Puerto Banús and Frutas Eladio. The treat was delivered to all competitors as they were starting their 10th hole of play by Atalaya’s friendly Marshals and Starters, members of the Caddy Mater team. Then, at the end of play, the upbeat sounds of popular Costa del Sol singer Gema Cabanas greeted all as they gathered at the Kiosk, near the Old Course’s ninth green, for their 19th Hole celebrations. The final surprise of the day was a fabulous tombola. A vast array of prizes, that seemed never ending, was awarded via a scorecard draw. The only requirement was for the winner of each prize to be present to accept his or her gift.
