Atalaya Old, brilliant in the San Miguel Andalucía Golf Challenge

The Old Course of the Atalaya Golf & Country Club in Costa del Sol has been a successful venue for the SAN MIGUEL ANDALUCÍA GOLF CHALLENGE ‘Destino República Dominicana by Globalia’. As usual in this great open amateur circuit, which this year celebrates its fourteenth edition, the places were sold out well in advance.

The prestigious course directed by Andrés Sánchez was presented in excellent conditions. The tournament took place under a splendid sun, a perfect temperature and without the wind that had plagued the area during the last few days.

The players enjoyed San Miguel beers and Solán de Cabras water at holes 1, 9 and 10, as well as during the prize-giving lunch at the magnificent clubhouse restaurant, managed by Mirko Bogdanov.

The awards ceremony was presented by the recently elected president of the host club, Francisco Siconolfi, and was attended by Gabriela Johne, from the Fairway+blue boutique, one of the Circuit’s partners.
