This week the Barcelona Golf Academy has returned to golf lessons and the Junior Tour Barcelona events on Sundays, but yesterday, 9th of January, we were already competing. The first valid tournament for the Golf Leagues Catalonia and Faldo Series 2022 was played at Golf Costa Daurada, and a good number of juniors from the Club de Golf Barcelona traveled to Tarragona.
Maintaining the rhythm of previous seasons, we are again the biggest contributers to the tournaments, this time with 15 juniors, more than any other club.
The Golf Leagues and Faldo Series aim to promote the values of golf among the younger generation, and create a pool of future golf professionals, so we are delighted to sign up for their tournaments whenever we can. The event was played in the Categories: Benjamin (Sub-10) with 9 holes, and 18 holes for Alevin (Sub-12), Infantil (Sub-14), Cadete (Sub-16 and Sub-18) and Sub-21, in the Individual Stableford and Scratch Stableford modes.
Starting with the older players, the Under-21 Category, our best result was achieved by Vladimir Taldykin, 2nd Handicap with 30 points and 2nd Scratch. Playing with him were Arnau Montull, 4th Handicap with 27 points; and Ricardo Fuentes, 6th Handicap with 26 points and 4th Scratch. Among the Cadet Category were Daniil Taldykin and Alexander Company, who finished tied for 10th Handicap with 21 points.
In the Infantil Category our best player was Dylan Richardson, who qualified 4th Handicap with 36 points, and 2nd Scratch. He was followed by Tahiri Salinas, 6th Handicap with 34 points; Alex Giménez, 7th Handicap with 32 points; Jon Julià, 16th Handicap with 25 points; and Kanran Hababou, 18th Handicap with 23 points.
Marc Escayola participated in the Alevín Category, finishing the 8th Handicap with 27 points; Nassim Hababou and Leo Oliver, both 11th Handicap with 26 points; and Nil Aiguadé, 17th with 9 points. And in the Benjamin Category with 9 holes, Anis, the youngest of the Hababou brothers, managed to qualify for 3rd Handicap, with 16 points, and 2nd Scratch.
Finally, Xavier Giménez (3rd Handicap), Juan Escayola (5th Handicap), Xavier Aiguadé (7th Handicap) and Sergio Julià (8th Handicap) also played in the Golf Leagues in the Parent Category. Thank you very much for being there supporting the young ones.
Congratulations to all!
The tournament ended with an awards ceremony for each category and a big draw, which included the gift of our voucher for a 3D Swing Analysis Session at the Barcelona Golf Academy, which went to Iván.
See you soon!
