The Federación de Golf de la Comunitat Valenciana (FGCV) organised a new training camp this weekend for the players selected in its development programme, bringing together some of the region’s most promising young golfers. The initiative forms part of the federation’s ongoing commitment to strengthening youth development and supporting the future of golf in Spain.

Held on the beautiful Costa Blanca, the gathering focused on improving both technical and competitive skills through a structured programme of practice sessions. Over the course of the weekend, players took part in drills designed to refine their swing mechanics, enhance strategic thinking and develop confidence in tournament situations.

The training sessions were led by FGCV coaches Emma Segovia and Fran Pintor, who prepared a detailed schedule to guide the players’ development. Their work focused on key elements such as shot precision, course management and decision making under pressure, all essential skills for young athletes preparing to compete at higher levels.

The camp also played an important role in the preparation for the upcoming Inter Sub-18 Championship, one of the most significant youth tournaments in the national calendar. By simulating competitive scenarios and analysing performance, the players were able to gain valuable experience ahead of future events.

Activities were hosted across two outstanding facilities in the region. Technical sessions were conducted at the Escuela de Golf de Elche, a venue well known for its excellent practice areas and player development programmes. The group also trained at Font del Llop Golf Resort, where the challenging course layout provided the perfect setting for competitive preparation.

The FGCV also expressed its appreciation to the staff at both venues, whose support helped make the training camp possible. Through initiatives like this, the federation continues to nurture emerging talent and reinforce the strong foundations of golf in Spain, particularly in dynamic regions such as the Costa Blanca.
