Apart from the Volvo Masters, those of us who live on the coast don't often get the chance to watch a European Tour tournament live, other than on TV. However, in a few weeks' time, the Aloha Golf Club will be hosting the Valle Romano Open de Andalucia, sponsored by the Junta de Andalucia and promoted jointly by our own Miguel Angel Jiménez and Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño, through their respective companies, Golf Acción and GFC Golf & Business. As a born and bred Malagueñan, Jiménez has long been sponsored by Andalucia and is obviously thrilled to be promoting his own tournament, following in the footsteps of Bernard Langer, whose company promoted the Mercedes-Benz Championship last year.
The date for your calendar is May 10th - 13th, which happens to coincide with The Players' Championship on the other side of the pond. Even if Miguel Angel qualifies for the TPC event, he is determined to play in his own tournament. "I have committed myself to play in the Valle Romano Open de Andalucia and fulfill my dream of competing in a tournament organised by my company" he said.
The Aloha Club is situated in "Golf Valley", close to Puerto Banus and is easily accessible so it would be great to see this likeable and approachable man receive the support he deserves. |
