Only six months and a bit to go to the 2009 Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Golf Festival with its streamlined programme of four events over a long weekend (February 11 to 17).
Have you made up your mind about coming back if you enjoyed the inaugural event - which I am sure you did - or are you going to come for the first time with some friends?
You will find all the details if you click on the appropriate FESTIVAL words at the top of the left hand column on the Home Page of www.kirkwoodgolf.co.uk
There are separate prize lists for:
*Lady amateur golfers with handicaps of 20 or under.
*Girl golfers with handicaps of 20 or under.
*Senior lady golfers with handicaps of or under.
*Lady professional golfers (who can take a party of female club members with them and coach them at the five-star HDA practice facilities if they wish).
If lady golfers want to go to Hacienda del Alamo with a male partner/husband/son, then they will be allowed to play over the Dave Thomas-designed course at a reduced rate when tee times are available. And males are welcome to join the ladies for the St Valentine's Day pro-am on the Saturday.
If you are looking for accommodation at the five-star Hacienda del Alamo Golf Resort, here's some news from one of the villa owners: Phil Eastham ---- We have a villa at Hacienda available to rent. http://www.spainvillasandgolf.com/ is our web site.

Message from Colin:
I fully expect us to double the inaugural HDA Festival entry figures of 13 lady professionals and 44 lady/girl amateurs. We may have to cap the field at around the 100 mark because there is a limit to the amount of daylight, even in southern Spain in mid-February.
It will be first come, first served. So, to avoid disappointment, enter now and let the others do the worrying.
