We're Back From Spain! I’ve just got back from our final Tuition Trip this year to El Rompido, Spain. This week and took 16 ladies from Saffron Walden Golf Club to the resort to deliver 5 days of coaching, followed by 5 rounds of golf - plus some extra rounds for the keen ones!
We had 6/7 days of great weather, witnessed a spectacular storm but temperatures average around 17- 20°C each day - beautiful for February?! During the week we played different formats of golf from Stablefords to Texas Scrambles over the 2 golf courses - North and South. With 2 lots of practice facilities including short game, range, putting greens there was always enough room to do group coaching plus time for any individual help. The North course is a lot more challenging with hills and trees, and greens with run offs on each side - playing to the middle was important. The South Course is completely different, although shorter, it plays 2 different lots of 9 holes. The South Course plays through the marshland and estuaries, this would be my favourite course out the two! The front half includes lots of wide fairways where you can hit driver everywhere. On the back half the driver gets put away as shorter tighter holes come in to play, a very ‘plot your way around’ half with some fiddly greens too!
All 16 ladies enjoyed the trip, we had lots of laughs, improved golf, great coaching and warm up sessions and even learnt a few new dance moves! On the rainy day I’ve definitely learnt a few new card games and had the experience of doing emails and admin by the spa pool too, haha! |
