DROME GOLF SOCIETY SPAIN TOUR 2007

Foto Drome Golf Society blog.jpg


Week 39 saw the Drome Golf Society arrive for a 2 day adventure. The Drome have been on tour to Costa del Sol since 2003, based in Port Duquesa for this year. The organiser had heard good reports about Arcos Gardens and he decided to finish off this years tour with a 2 day trip to Arcos.
The first day saw the 11 golfers playing off the yellow tees, 1st was Noel with 37, 2nd was Sean with 36(CB), 3rd was Riz with 36. That evening saw the group venture into the local village for the annual Feria (Fair) at 1 euro a beer it was a fantastic night. With the second round being played off the white tees and coupled with a late night the scores were noticeable lower. 1st was Lee with 35, 2nd was John with 33, 3rd was Paul with 32(CB). Noel also had 32, along with his 37 from the previous day; these 2 scores helped Noel become the Tour champion with a total of 185 over 6 rounds.
The decision to finish the tour at Arcos was in fact a stoke of genius. Some of the golfers that had played every year commented that this was the best venue they had played on.

We will be back in 2008.

Another European Tour Top 40 Player chooses to practice at Arcos Gardens. It was a pleasure to welcome Mikko Ilonen from Finland who not long ago won the Scandinavian Masters in Sweden. Mikko was looking for quality practicing facilities to prepare himself for the Volvo Masters and he chose Arcos Gardens where he spent a three day period working very hard on his game. We wish Mikko good luck next week.

Week 43

It was a real delight to welcome Peter Hanson and Joakim Haeggman to Arcos Gardens. They arrived with their coach and where very happy with the quality of our practice facilities. After a hard day of practice they stayed the night in our beautiful Cortijo Fain Hotel only to get up the next day for another hard day on the range. As Gary Player once said, the harder you practice the luckier you get! Well after watching them we think some luck will be coming their way. We wish Peter a successful tournament next week at Valderrama for the Volvo Masters
