La Nivelle Ladies Open snowed off at Biarritz ... lady

pros can still enter next week's Spanish Festival

FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR ACCESS SERIES WEBSITE
Unfortunately the first event on the 2010 LET Access Series, La Nivelle Ladies Open, has been called off for this weekend due to bad weather.
Thursday’s first round was postponed and then today’s re-scheduled round was cancelled as the course (near Biarritz in south-west France) was still covered in snow. The organisers are looking for an alternative date to re-schedule the event.
The next tournament will be the Terre Blanche Ladies Open , from 31st March to 3rd April at Golf de Terre Blanche near Nice.
Editor's note: When the organisers saw how bad the weather was in southwest France, they could have moved the La Nivelle Ladies Open lock, stock and barrell to south-east Spain - there's absolutely no snow at Hacienda del Alamo Golf Resort in Murcia, where the 3rd Hacienda del Alamo Women's & Girls' Festival tees off tomorrow (Saturday) with a better-ball pairs tournament.
We would have put on lady pro events but we did not receive a single inquiry. Maybe they'll change their mind now with the cancellation of La Nivelle Ladies Open.
If any of the lady pros want to play in the Festival 36-hole event (Monday-Tuesday next week) and/or the 54-hole open (next Thursday-Friday-Saturday), e-mail Tournament Controller Lee Harrington at marshall@hdagolf.com or phone Director of Golf Billy Sim (0034 6902 95650) and they'll be delighted to create lady pro categories in both events.
