Prize winnings from former editions: Ana Belén Sanchez (2003) player of the Women European Circuit and Miguel Ángel Jiménez (2004), assisted to the prize presentation and enjoyed the great atmosphere with all assistants. 250 golf lovers attended to the launch, but Plata was the center of attention because of his achievement at the head of the Tourism Council of the Asseembly of Andalusia. “Golf is not a problem, it is an opportunity” said Villalba, few minutes before giving the “Jacket” to Paulino Plata. These words are a reflection of the reasons the club decided to pay tribute to Paulino Plata.

“I would like to thank this celebration. I have been playing golf for three years and I am just a begginer. Golf is an important sport which grips you and forces you to be modest. We have to promote it and take advantage of it”, affirmed Plata. “The couple tourism-golf is good to Andalusia. We need more and better golf courses and we are working to gain an international recognition to this sport from the Council”.
