The wind had an influence on the game, without being excessive, and favored the thermal sensation to be optimal.

There was a full house and a good balance between members and visitors: 54 members and 41 visitors. The ratio between players in the first category (45 players) and in the second category (50) was also very proportionate. The course was in excellent condition, with very good greens and very well presented in general. The players enjoyed San Miguel beers on the course and at the cocktail party served in the Club House for the awards ceremony. The award ceremony was presented by the Club’s manager, Jaime Ravina, who also won the scratch prize after being one stroke under par on the course. The prize was presented to him by Javier Cochón, regional director of Mahou San Miguel in Andalusia. Gabriela Jones, from the golf boutique in Puerto Banús Fairway + Blue, also took part in the prize-giving ceremony and presented the winners with some of the store’s garments.
