Solheim Cup will celebrate Andalusia with special outfits

PING, Solheim Cup 2023 Founding Partner, will uniform staff and volunteers at Finca Cortesín, in Costa del Sol, from September 18 to 24.

To celebrate Andalusia, the region hosting this year’s Solheim Cup, more than a thousand people will wear an unique outfit designed by PING just for that week. This shows that the organisation is not affiliated with either of the conventional team colours (blue and red), demonstrating its commitment to being neutral and inclusive of supporters of all stripes.

As a complement to this wardrobe, the more than a hundred Solheim Cup 2023 ambassadors will also wear their own PING uniform created specifically for the occasion.

PING garments stand out for their advanced technology, since they use the most modern, comfortable and sustainable materials of the moment and usually demanded by golfers.

“We are honoured to be selected as the tournament’s official clothing supplier for both the staff and volunteers. Without the help of these individuals, who work diligently to make this tournament a success, it would not have been nearly as successful”, said Lisa Lovatt, general manager of PING Europe.

“Without a doubt, the uniform is a fundamental element for both those who form part of the staff how the volunteers have that feeling of belonging to a team”, said Alicia Garrido, president of Deporte & Business.

“The agreement achieved with PING is important and not just because of the quality of the garments or because of what this brand represents for the Solheim Cup”, Garrido concluded.

Infinitum Lakes hosts the 2023 Copa S. M. El Rey

The famous Copa S. M. El Rey is currently taking place at one of the stunning Infinitum golf courses, in Catalonia. The popular amateur event started on February 28th and it will end on March 5th.

The 2023 edition of Spain’s International Amateur Men’s Championship, which has previously been held at stunning golf courses like El Saler, Real Sevilla, and Real Sotogrande, is being held at Infinitum Lakes.

This year’s Copa S.M. El Rey is being held in the Infinitum resort because of its stellar reputation as a premier event location, which was cemented in April 2022, when the resort’s Lakes course hosted the DP World Tour‘s ISPS Handa Championship, which ended up being won by the popular Spanish golfer Pablo Larrazábal.

Since 2017, Infinitum has also played host to the DP World Tour Qualifying School Final Stage, with last year’s event being dramatically won by Swedish golfer Simon Forsström over the course of six days.

The Costa Dorada venue has recently announced the hiring of a new director of golf, Joaquin Mora Bertrán, who will be responsible for overseeing all golf operations at Infinitum, including the resort’s three golf courses, two clubhouses, and golf academy.

Mora commented following his hiring, “I am happy to be chosen the new head of golf at Infinitum, a prestigious resort in a lovely region of Spain”.

“My goal is to provide golfers with a world-class experience at a venue with one of Europe’s best amenities. We are hosting the Copa S.M. El Rey, and we couldn’t be more excited!”, Mora concluded.

Spain Golf – Alcanada wins Diamond Award at Tagmarshal Awards

Alcanada wins its third Diamond Award

The Alcanada Golf Club, in Mallorca, part of the Balearic Islands, has been honoured for the third time with the Diamond Award at the Tagmarshal Awards.

The award, given to Alcanada at the PGA Show in Orlando, Florida, was a climax to a fantastic 2022 that included the golf course’s hosting of the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final last November. The success in the tournament led to its scheduled return to Alcanada later this year.

“The club’s primary focus is on enhancing the playing experience for its members at all times. Although we are well aware of the need of maintaining a steady pace of play for most players and the potential damage it may do if not handled properly, it has never been an issue here”, explains Alcanada Golf Club Director Kristoff Both.

“With the help of the Tagmarshal system, we’ve been able to improve our approach and anticipate any issues on the golf course, so our players can focus on taking in the beautiful scenery and pleasant Mallorcan weather”, added Kristoff Both.

The award recognises the club’s outstanding efforts in areas like the pace of play, player experience, and course optimization, all of which have helped establish it as a top location for golf’s most prestigious tournaments.

In fact, a round of 18 holes at Club de Golf Alcanada is 5 percent faster thanks to Tagmarshal’s revolutionary optimization technology, a significant benefit for a sport that is increasingly challenged by game rhythm issues.

The Tagmarshal Awards were established in 2019 to honour the best of the 500+ golf courses that have partnered with the company. That year, Alcanada took home its first Diamond Award; in 2021 and 2022, it received two more.

By winning a third prize, Alcanada now ranks among the world’s top 30 golf courses, joining such illustrious institutions as Pebble Beach, Ballybunion, Erin Hills, Pinehurst, and Portugal’s West Cliffs.
