La Cañada Golf Club has welcomed the integration of two young players trained at La Cañada Golf School, María Parra and Mario Galiano, in the Pro Spain Team 2019 Program, an initiative of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation (RFEG), in collaboration with the Autonomous Federations, which aims to train and help elite golf players in their first years in the professional field.
From the Club de Golf La Cañada we want to show “our congratulations and congratulations to Mario Galiano and Maria Parra for their election within this program of the Spanish Federation; and on the other hand, it also makes us feel more satisfied with our promotion of golf among the youngest and our work in the Golf School, as we are constantly reaping its fruits; in a week where we have also celebrated the third place of Alvaro Quiros in the Open Omega Dubai Desert Classic”, in the words of the club president, Angel Gutierrez.
The 2019 promotion of the Pro Spain Team Program has the presence of twenty-one golfers of projection. Along with María Parra, there are also players Nuria Iturrios, Marta Sanz, Patricia Sanz, Noemí Jiménez, Luna Sobrón, Elia Folch, Silvia Bañón, Harang Lee and Fátima Fernández. And together with Mario Galiano, the rest of the team is formed by Pep Anglés, Scott Fernández, Emilio Cuartero, Daniel Berná, Iván Cantero, Javier Sainz, David Borda, Santiago Tarrío, Ángel Hidalgo and Manuel Elvira.
It should be remembered that Mario Galiano is in possession of the Latin American PGA card, while Maria Parra has played in recent years in the American and European circuit.
This initiative of the RFEG, in collaboration with the Autonomous Federations, aims to train and help elite golf players in their first years in the professional field.
All the members of the Pro Spain Team 2019 benefit from a Program that establishes financial aid – depending on the Circuit they usually play -, training – evaluation by TPI technicians, physical trainers, etc. – and management – invitations to tournaments, search for sponsors -. They can also use the Golf Center of Excellence located in the practice area of the National Center, a model facility that is at the forefront of world golf.
It should be noted that, in return for the technical and financial assistance provided, the selected players undertake, among other things, to dedicate several days to RFEG initiatives (ProAms, concentrations of the national amateur teams, etc.), as well as, in the future, to participate in the Spanish Open or Spanish Professional Championships whenever their obligations allow them to do so.
