El gibraltareño Sebastián Desoisa gana el Campeonato de España sub-18 masculino

 



El Campeonato de España Sub 18 Masculino, marcado por las inclemencias meteorológicas, ha sido ganado finalmente por el jugador gibraltareño adscrito a la Real Federación Andaluza de Golf, Sebastian Desoisa.


El golfista de La Roca firmó una tarjeta de 72 golpes (+1) en la tercera y definitiva jornada para un total de 213 golpes, al par del campo, dos golpes menos que José Antonio Sintes, segundo clasificado.


Según el reglamento de la competición, sólo un golfista con nacionalidad española puede hacerse con el título, de manera que el nuevo Campeón de España es el jugador canario, añadiendo un título más a su excelente currículo.


José Antonio Sintes firmó una última vuelta de 74 golpes (+3) para un total de 215 golpes, dos sobre el par del campo, mientras que Santiago Juesas completó el podio tras un resultado de 78 golpes (+7) y un global de 217golpes (+4).


Con este título, José Antonio Sintes demuestra su gran estado de forma, ya que a finales del mes de febrero se hizo con el triunfo en el Red Sea Little Venice del Alps Tour, un torneo profesional a pesar de su todavía condición de amateur.


La trayectoria del jugador insular en las últimas temporadas está siendo claramente ascendente, como indican los tres triunfos conseguidos en 2023 en la Copa de Andalucía, el Campeonato de Madrid y la Copa Nacional Puerta de Hierro.


El cuadro de honor de este Campeonato de España Sub 18 Masculino 2024 se ha completado con los ganadores ex-aequo en categoría Sub 16, Raúl Gómez y Gonzalo Ramos, ambos con un resultado total de 218 golpes (+5).


Este Campeonato de España Sub 18 Masculino es valedero para el Ranking Mundial (WAGR) y para los Rankings Nacionales Sub 18 y Cadete.

DUCA DEL COSMA UNVEILS BOLD SS24 RANGE THAT DARES TO BE DIFFERENT

                       


 

Luxury golf fashion brand Duca del Cosma is today unveiling its bold SS24 golf shoe range headlined by a pioneering lightweight outsole technology and a host of vibrant new designs that dare to be different from other models on the market.

 

The functional Airplay 15 outsole is applied to four new styles that enable golfers to enjoy out-of-the-box comfort and game-enhancing performance by using the most premium materials in a smart sole design. Crafted to reduce foot fatigue, while maximizing support and stability through a sturdy and lightweight construction, the outsole has been developed and tested in collaboration with brand ambassadors, including DP World Tour star Joost Luiten and LPGA Tour player Kelly Tan.

 

Standout golf shoes across the four distinctive style categories – ‘Pro’, ‘Fashion’, ‘Sporty’ and ‘Classic’ – include the ultra-modern DAVANTI men’s and chic OLIVERA women’s sneaker-style designs; classic DAVINCI men’s style and dazzling AVIVA women’s shoe in a prominent animal print; plus the limited-edition JUBILEE and ALANA styles that are a nod to the brand’s 20-year anniversary. Several award-winning shoes remain in the collection with the addition of striking new colour combinations to elevate the product offering to even greater heights.

 

“This latest range shows exactly why we dare to be different and continue to push the boundaries of modern golf shoe design,” said Dolf Stoffberg, CEO at Duca del Cosma. “These styles really bridge the gap between on and off course wear, while featuring a stunning array of colours and patterns to ensure golfers stand out for all the right reasons,” he added.

 

The Airplay 15 outsole features an advanced dual-component build comprised of a high shock absorption CMEVA midsole for added comfort and flexibility, plus an offset medial toe bumper and traction nubs on the durable outsole unit to deliver optimal performance and uncompromising grip during the golf swing. A strategically positioned heel-strike to the rear of the outsole improves the walking gait and promotes a solid stride.

                                


Further innovations in the SS24 collection include a waterproof sock system with OnSteam® recyclable microfibre technology applied to several shoes, while the breathable ARNEFLEX® insert sole is also manufactured using recycled materials and delivers unrivalled all-day comfort. A total of 11 outsole technologies across four different Duca Fit Systems ensures there is a golf shoe in the range to fit all foot types and sizes.

 

The DAVANTI shoe incorporates the super technical Airplay 15 outsole to offer top golf shoe performance and ultimate versatility. Offering a contemporary look, it can be worn on the course as well as in everyday life and is made using a combination of premium Nappa leather and abrasion resistant onDuraÒ Nilo technical nylon in contrasting colours to make a strong statement. The waterproof construction delivers protection in wet conditions, while the offset toe bumper provides extra durability on areas most prone to wear. The top-quality design is available in three striking colourways – Light Blue, Green/Grey and Marina.

The sophisticated DAVINCI shoe enhances the brand’s popular classic golf shoe line-up and provides a truly luxurious appearance for those seeking an extra special design to confidently stride down the fairways. The waterproof shoe features an upper crafted from embossed full-grain leather to offer incredible comfort straight out of the box and is offered in White and Light Blue with a colourful Airplay 11 outsole to catch the eye.

 

The award-winning POSITANO shoe is now available in two new vivid colour combinations – White/Blue and White/Blue/Red. The award-winning waterproof shoe features the ultra-lightweight D-EvaÒ outsole offering flexibility to ensure golfers can enjoy the walk in a lighter shoe without sacrificing crucial foot support.

 

The limited-edition men’s JUBILEE and women’s ALANA shoes have been designed to mark the brand’s 20-year anniversary and deliver a superb individual look. Both shoes incorporate a predominantly Red and White colour scheme and the new Airplay 15 outsole, while the JUBILEE features a distinctive silver emblem to the side of the shoe for an extra special look.

 

Among the other popular shoes in the men’s collection for 2024 are the GIRONA in three colours; sporty FLYER and GIORDANO shoes; plus the classic DANDY and CHURCHILL styles. The award-winning BERNARDO and ORLANDO pro spiked designs are carried forward.

 

The ultra-modern OLIVERA sneaker style shoe spearheads the women’s offering with its advanced design and supremely fashionable appearance. Crafted using various forms of premium Nappa leather, the stylish shoe really stands out from the crowd, especially in the Orchid/Pink colourway, which has been a best-selling colourway amongst stockists.

 

The dazzling AVIVA shoe with its prominent animal print is sure to be popular with women golfers seeking a luxurious pair of golf shoes this season. The bold design offers best-in-class support via a heightened heel on the advanced Airplay 17 outsole and features a lightweight and breathable upper to ensure feet remain cool and dry all day long. For every pair sold, the brand will donate money to the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre to help save the critically endangered King Cheetah that inspired the pattern on the trendy shoe’s upper.

                  


Designed with fashion-conscious golfers in mind, the ALESI features an on-trend jacquard print with contrasting details to offer a supremely elegant look and feel. Available in two fashionable colours, the style incorporates the lightweight Airplay 17 outsole with strategically positioned traction points for a seamless combination of function and fit.

 

Other fashion-forward shoes in the women’s collection are the award-winning SERENA, BELLEZZA and ALEXA styles, plus the chic KING CHEETAH and BOREAL designs in two standout colours. The SABINA and AVANTI pro spiked models are carried forward.

Galvin Green names Tour player line-up for 2024 season

                    


Premium hi-tech golf apparel brand Galvin Green has named its global Tour player line-up headlined by Swedish star Alexander Björk on the PGA TOUR and Englishman Jordan Smith leading the brand’s presence on the DP World Tour.

 

Having achieved an impressive stroke average of 69.59 across the DP World Tour calendar in 2023, Björk is set to play most of his golf on the flagship U.S. Tour following a career best season that saw him finish 11th in the Race to Dubai rankings to earn a sought-after PGA TOUR card.

 

Hot off the back of a T2 finish at the Jonnson Workwear Open in South Africa, Jordan Smith will be seen wearing Galvin Green garments for another year after a strong showing on the DP World Tour in 2023, where he achieved four top 10s, plus a T20 and T41 finish at the 123rd U.S. Open and 151st Open Championship respectively.

 

“We’re so pleased that Alexander earned his PGA TOUR card which was fully deserved after a superb season of consistent golf,” said Conor Petters, Galvin Green Global Tour Manager. “It was also great to see Jordan come some close on Sunday after being in contention so often during the course of last year,” he added.

 

Björk and Smith are joined by five other Tour players that will wear Galvin Green outfits in 2024. They include fellow Englishman Laurie Canter wearing the brand’s clothing during tournaments on LIV Golf as a wildcard player and the DP World Tour. Former Walker Cup star Jake Bolton is one of the newest recruits to wear the latest men’s range featuring products such as the 100% waterproof and windproof ARMSTRONG GORE-TEX Paclite® jacket in a striking three tone design, plus the super breathable MO shirt in moisture wicking VENTIL8™ PLUS fabric with a standout cross-body gradient print across the chest.

 

Alexandra Swayne, 23, will wear the brand’s vibrant women’s styles for a second successive season having made her Ladies European Tour debut last year, while 29-year-old Danish Nanna Koerstz Madsen joins the line-up alongside Corinne Viden on the LET circuit.

 

“We are delighted to continue supporting our new and established Tour players and believe each member of Team Galvin Green will prove to be valuable brand ambassadors in front of global audiences in 2024,” added Petters.

LET Golf: Todo preparado en Rabat para el Lalla Meryem Cup 2024

                    


 EL Royal  Club de Golf  Dar Es Salam acogerá en Rabat( Marruecos )  una edición más del Lalla Meryem Cup uno de los torneos más espectaculares de la temporada  en el  LET Golf.  Está  dotado con 450.000 euros tendrá en su línea de partida a once jugadoras españolas que lucharán por una victoria que no será fácil. En la nómina de participantes destacan  Anne van Dam, Chiara Noja, Manon de Roy o Kristyna Napoleova.

 En la presencia de la "Armada" estarán Ana Peláez, Nuria Iturrioz, Carmen Alonso, maría Hernández, Marta Sanz, Luna Sobrón, Fátima Fernández Cano, Teresa Toscano, Teresa Díaz Moliner, Paz Marfá y Marta Martín, que la semana pasada estaba como primera reserva del torneo y que finalmente ha entrado y que formará parte de la nómina de española que intentrán el triunfo en este torneo.

 El Lalla Meryem Cup, que ganó el año pasado la sueca Maja Stark, no contará con la sueca en esta ocasión aunque la presencia nordica será muy notable con la presencia de hasta siete jugadoras suecas.

Una cita que coincide con el anuncio por parte del LET de que la Escuela del LET se seguirá disputando en Marruecos durante los próximos tres años.

Las fechas de la Escuela de Clasificación Lalla Aicha de este año serán del 10 al 20 de diciembre de 2024. La Preclasificación se jugará en tres rondas del 10 al 12 de diciembre en cuatro sedes: Palm Golf Marrakech Ourika, Golf Club Rotana, Noria Golf Club y Samanah Golf diseñados por Jack Nicklaus. La final de la escuela se jugará a cinco rondas del 16 al 20 de diciembre en dos sedes: Royal Golf Marrakech y Al Maaden Golf Marrakech.

Ángel Cabrera vuelve al Champions Tour en el Trophee Hassan II, en Rabat

 Seis meses después de su salida de la cárcel, Ángel Cabrera retorna a la competición viajando hasta Marruecos para tomar parte en el Trophee Hassan II del Champions Tour, Circuito Senior del PGA; evento que arranca este jueves en el Royal Golf Dar Es Salam de Rabat.

Tras pasar 30 meses en prisión, el juez Cristóbal Laje Ros se encargaba de otorgarle la condicional al jugador argentino, tras someterse previamente a un examen psicológico. “Cabrera ha interiorizado todos los errores que ha cometido y se arrepiente de todo el daño causado”, informaba el propio jurista en unas declaraciones a una televisión local. “Es por ello que se ha adoptado la decisión de otorgarle la libertad condicional”, señalaba la misma fuente.

Según Golfweek, Cabrera también recibió una invitación para jugar en el Insperity Invitational, también del Champions Tour, en Texas a principios de mayo. Para ello, el golfista argentino, poseedor de dos Grandes, necesitará obtener un visado, lo que también podría ser un obstáculo para jugar en el Masters, que ganó en 2009, en abril como ex campeón. Cabrera no necesita visado para viajar a Marruecos y jugar allí. También se espera que la próxima semana dispute el 117 Argentina Open del Korn Ferry Tour, división de plata del PGA.

Ángel Cabrera disputó su primer evento profesional el pasado mes de diciembre desde que saliera de la cárcel el 4 de agosto tras cumplir más de dos años de condena por casos de violencia de género contra dos de sus exnovias. Cabrera terminó T-10 en el Abierto del Litoral, un torneo celebrado en su Argentina natal. 


                  


Dates confirmed for historic Hong Kong Open

                                                 


 

 The Hong Kong Open, the celebrated tournament at the core of the Asian golf calendar for over six decades, will be played from November 21-24 this year – at the fabled Hong Kong Golf Club (HKGC), Fanling.

 

Offering lucrative prizemoney of US$2 million, the event will play a pivotal role in shaping the conclusion of the Asian Tour season.

For the second year in succession, it will also form part of The International Series – 10 elevated events that are integrated into the Asian Tour schedule providing a pathway to the LIV Golf League.

 

 

“This year marks the 63rd staging of the Hong Kong Open, and the Hong Kong Golf Club is excited to see it once again positioned as one of the season-ending tournaments, when there is so much to play for,” said Andy Kwok, Captain, HKGC – who are celebrating their 135th anniversary this year.

 

“We are looking to build on last year’s successful tournament, boosting the event and the club’s stature in the game by welcoming back a wonderful selection of world-class golfers and fans from right across the Greater Bay Area and beyond.”

A world-class line up of players will return and will gradually be unveiled over the next few months, for a tournament that is one of only two events in the history of the game to be hosted at the same venue for over six decades - alongside The Masters Tournament at Augusta.

                                             


 

Cho Minn Thant, Commissioner & CEO, Asian Tour said: “At the end of last year we were delighted to announce our initial schedule for 2024, which featured the Hong Kong Open – being able to confirm the dates today allows us to take a step another closer to completing the jigsaw.

 

“The Hong Kong Open and the Hong Kong Golf Club are woven into the fabric of the Asian Tour, and so it is always key to our success to have all aspects of the event confirmed early on. The Club’s iconic course was voted by our members as the joint best course of the year last season, and I am sure more accolades await this year. We thank the Club, their captain Andy Kwok and Ian Gardner the General Manager, plus the Golf Association of Hong Kong China for their ongoing support and commitment.”

 

New Zealander Ben Campbell raised the trophy last November after a gripping finish. He wrote his name into Hong Kong Open folklore with a gutsy victory, draining a 15-foot birdie putt on the final green to defeat playing partners Cam Smith from Australia and Thailand’s Phachara Khongwatmai. Campbell had not led at any stage of the tournament until that brilliant last putt.

The Asian Tour currently boasts 21 events visiting 13 countries with a significant number of important tournaments to be added.

Once finalised it is expected that the schedule will surpass last year– which saw 23 events staged with aggregate prize money of US$35 million.
