Two Under-16 girls' stroke-
play competitions added
to Hacienda del Alamo
February Festival

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Tournament Controller
Two important pieces of news with regard to the Hacienda del Alamo Women's Winter Festival from February 12 to 17.
The first is that we are introducing not one but TWO Under-16 girls' open stroke-play events.
They will be played in tandem with the Murcia Ladies Open on Thursday and Friday, February 12 and 13, and the Hacienda del Alamo Ladies Open on Monday and Tuesday, February 16 and 17.
Girls entering these competitions must be under 16 years of age on January 1, 2009.
The entry fee will be only 25 Euros per head for each of the Under-16 stroke-play competitions.
The second piece of Festival news is that John Green of Hacienda Golf Properties has become the Festival's "preferred partner" for the rental of villas/accommodation at the five-star resort.
That means if you are going to the Hacienda del Alamo February Festival, you should do one of two things, or maybe both.

1 E-mail John Green at info@hdagolfproperaties.com to find out what he can offer you and at what price.

2 Log on to John Green's website - http://www.hdagolfproperties.com/ - and see for yourself what he has to offer.
