Arcos Gardens was present in one of the most important golf events in Europe, celebrated in Wentworth Club, Surrey from May 21-24, 2009. The BMW PGA Championship combines the prestige, tradition and excitement of The European Tour’s flagship event.

Some of golf’s biggest names have descended on the Surrey venue’s famous West Course to compete for the title won last year by the Spanish Miguel Angel Jiménez, who defeated Ryder Cup team mate Oliver Wilson with a birdie on the second hole of a sudden-death play-off.

The winner of the BMW PGA Championship 2009, the English Paul Casey held off his countryman Ross Fisher after a glorious end to a glorious day's golf. A seven-foot putt on the 72nd was good enough to give the Englishman a one-shot victory and lift him to No3 in the world rankings.

The Finnish player, Minna Kaarnalahti spoiled the opportunity for Marta Estany to become the first Spanish player in eight years to hold the title, Spanish Senior Female Individual Champion. The Catalonian player, had a great recovery in the second round and had the opportunity of going all the way, but the Nordic player did not hand over the triumph.

Minna Kaarnalahti, who teed up in the tournament with the second best handicap of all 70 competitors, (1.4), she showed her quality in the second round, by shooting a round of 73 (4 shots better than her first round), which gives the total score of 150 shots, which turned to be enough to capture the win.

At the same time, Marta Estany was unfortunate during the first round, she spoiled her chances to bring the title back to Spain. Her 80 hits in the first day were forgotten thanks to the 72 shots she got in the second day, the best score collected during the two days of the competition.

Marta Estany were not able to beat Minna Kaarnalahti but she got the second position with 152 hits and thereby also the best Spanish player in tournament.

RESULTS:
1- Minna Kaarlahti (Fin) 150 (77 + 73)
2- Marta Estany (Spa) 152 (80 + 72)
3- Diane Williams (Can) 153 (75 + 78)

The price-giving was made by Mrs. Emma Villacieros, ex-president from the Spanish Golf Federation and Catherine Lacoste as Arcos Gardens representative.

The blonde bunker faces of Arcos Gardens have arrived early this year.

This intentional effect is created to make a contrast between the bunker faces and the lush green over seeded fairways and roughs and we hope you like this as much as we do.

So how do we do it? Well the course as two different types of grass, the base grass is our summer grass and is called Bermuda 328. During the winter this grass goes dormant and turns golden. To prevent the entire course going golden we over seed the golf course during the winter with rye which is a dark green coloured cool season grass but we do not over seed the bunker faces. This year due to an unusual early cold snap which has seen us having several frosts the Bermuda has turned dormant much earlier.
During the spring the Bermuda grass wakes up again and this contrast disappears for another season.

We hope you enjoy our blonde bunkers faces the time you play!
