The playing field was in excellent condition and the day’s sport was played with a light breeze and milder temperatures than in previous days.

There was a full house, with 100 players in the morning shift with consecutive starts from holes 1 and 10 and 80 players in the afternoon shift with a shotgun start at 3:30.

The organization of the Circuit is grateful for the attentions of the sports director, Robert Hall, who was attentive at all times to ensure the perfect functioning of the course and the operation.

At the end of the afternoon shift, the awards ceremony took place, which included wines from the Marqués de Terán winery and clothing from the prestigious Fairway + Blue store located in Puerto Banús.

The fairways of El Paraíso Golf Club, inaugurated in 1973, are wide and easy to walk, so the golfer enjoys a beautiful landscape thanks to the great quantity and variety of trees and vegetation. The water hazards are very important because of the beauty they add to the course and because there are dangerous streams hidden in the rough. The location is very good, in the heart of the Costa del Golf, between two of the Costa del Sol’s golfing towns par excellence: Marbella and Estepona. In addition to its magnificent course, El Paraíso is known for being one of the clubs with the most social activities on the Costa del Sol. The club is managed by one of the great professionals of the sector, David Ramos. .
