Welcome to our April Ladies Corner!
Newsletter Higuerón Marbella Golf Resort is looking at its absolute best, all that rain over the past months has definitely helped and we can now enjoy the glorious sun and warmer weather on our beautiful golf course.
We have been incredibly busy with lots of events happening both at the club and away, we truly haven’t stopped for a second! I hope you have all enjoyed the energy and fantastic golf over the past weeks.
New Ladies
A very warm welcome to Anna Zegzula, who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Bob Naify event. I’m very much looking forward to playing with you in future competitions. I would also like to say a huge well done to Irina Konyaeva. As a new member, she has adapted wonderfully to our community and has been playing in our weekly competitions with great confidence, bravo Irina!
Interclub Matches Update
La Cala Golf: We played against La Cala (12th February at home and 18th away) and in the second year running, we won both matches with an outstanding final score. HMGR 16 – La Cala 8
Miraflores Golf: We always enjoy playing with the Miraflores ladies, it’s a wonderful friendly atmosphere every time. After hosting them in January, the away match had to be rescheduled due to rain. The same team played the away leg on 20th March, and the final combined result was another well-deserved victory. HMGR 17 – Miraflores 7
Well done everyone!
