La Noria has been the successful setting for the fourth and penultimate round of the Mijas Sun & Golf Circuit. Sponsored by the Mijas Town Hall in an initiative of the Mijas Golf Courses Association, this first edition of the Circuit consists of five tournaments plus a final, to be played on August 24th at Mijas Golf Los Lagos, which will be followed by a gala dinner at the hotel La Zambra.

The course was a pleasant surprise for many players who were playing for the first time in this club, both for the good condition of the course and for the very interesting and pleasant design.

It is a very flat course and comfortable to walk, with water on some holes and a large grove of trees that provides shade and makes the course very pleasant for those who prefer to play on foot.

The prize giving was presided over by the Councillor for Tourism of Mijas Town Hall, Francisco Jerez.

There were prizes in all the par 3 courses, where those who left the ball closest to the flag received a case of San Miguel beer, a partner brand of the Tour.

The best classified in La Noria get a place to play the final, where the prizes of seven vouchers to play for a whole year the courses of the Circuit, which apart from La Noria and Mijas Golf, are Chaparral, La Cala, Cerrado del Águila and Miraflores.

Another particularity of the Circuit is the support given to women's golf, so that a special category of ladies is established, giving access to the final to the two best classified in the special category of ladies who are not in the general prizes. The same is done for the best players, establishing a special scratch prize.

In this way, nine players in each tournament qualify for the grand final on Saturday 24th August. The Mijas Sun & Golf Circuit has as another hallmark the fact that the qualifying rounds are played on alternate Fridays during the summer months, making it a very pleasant event and the best way to start a weekend.

The next event of the Circuit is on Friday 2nd August at the Europa course at La Cala Resort, with tee-offs at 9am. Registrations include buggy, welcome pack and prize giving cocktail.
