Green Pages 2014 GREEN PAGES 2014 GCA Green Pages 2014, £19.95 www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/greenpages Sponsored by: Welcome GCA Green Pages 2014 www.golfcoursearchitecture.net/greenpages Shaping a leaner golf industry, which exemplifies the fundamental principles of the game, has become a priority for course architects, developers and owners. Clubs are seeking courses that are affordable to construct and maintain, while offering golfers the chance to enjoy the fun of the game and natural beauty of their surroundings, and providing a good sporting challenge for players of all skill levels. In the sixth edition of Golf Course Architecture Green Pages, we hear from some of our key partners, including the European Institute of Golf Course Architects, the American Society of Golf Course Architects and the European Golf Course Owners Association. We also learn about the recent and future activities of a number of golf businesses, including our sponsor for the 2014 edition, SOL Golf International. It’s encouraging to read about their expectations for the year ahead. Individual clubs throughout the world will be relying on partnerships with golf businesses to help them execute their strategic plans. The directory section of GCA Green Pages contains a wealth of information and contacts for professionals active across the industry, from those who can provide golf course architecture and construction services, to irrigation systems specialists, turfgrass suppliers and everything in between. We hope you find the directory a valuable resource when you are making plans for your golf facility in the year ahead. Best wishes for a successful 2014. Rebecca Gibson GCA Green Pages Sponsor Partners Golf Course Architecture and GCA Green Pages are published with the support and guidance of the European Institute of Golf Course Architects, the European Golf Course Owners Association, the American Society of Golf Course Architects and the Golf Environment Organization.

  • The European Tour Makes Its First Stop at Valderrama | Assetfolio News
    News The European Tour Makes Its First Stop At Valderrama 15/04/2016 Spanish News Andalucía hosts the Open de España for the 11th time - European Tour Five decades after its first visit, the Open de España will return to Andalucía on April 14-17. Real Club Valderrama and the Sergio García Foundation, have joined forces in order to bring this storied event that has been played only ten times previously on Andalusian courses. The first was on 1966 at the neighbouring and newly opened RCG Sotogrande, where Argentina’s Roberto de Vicenzo stole the show. Four years later, RCG Las Brisas (Marbella), another Robert Trent Jones layout, saw a home winner. Ángel Gallardo, current Vice-Chairman of the European Tour, won by two shots over England’s Neil Coles and Ireland’s Christy O’Connor Sr. “I had always dreamt of winning my national Open; that was the most thrilling moment of my career” recalls Gallardo. Nine years passed before the event returned in 1979 to southern Spain at Torrequebrada (Benalmádena, Málaga), a course designed by the recently deceased José Gancedo — who was the leading amateur in the 1970 edition won by Gallardo. South African Dale Hayes triumphed at Torrequebrada, and for the first time, the event had a title sponsor – Benson&Hedges – something unthinkable up to then. Over the last decade, the Open de España has enjoyed the E: [email protected] W: www.assetfolio.com T: +34 952 908 120 support of Reale as its main sponsor.

  • Additional All-Time Great and Pioneer Golfers History
    ADDITIONAL ALL-TIME GREAT AND PIONEER GOLFERS HISTORY MAKER GOLF The 24 golfers included in this set will hopefully serve as a useful supplement to the All-Time Great and Pioneer sets previously released by PLAAY Games. Additionally, with this release, every male golfer who has been inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame (as of the Class of 2021) now has a card for History Maker Golf; inductees in this set are denoted with a red ‘H’ next to their name. Whilst it is not always possible to access statistics for ‘historic’ golfers, especially the Pioneers, all the golfers in this set have been rated based on extensive research; the cards are rated so as to be consistent with the existing official sets, and each golfer’s card hopefully reflects his individual playing style as much as possible. Finally, please note that three of the golfers (Tony Jacklin, Kel Nagle and Peter Thomson) were originally released by PLAAY Games as a free giveaway in the June 2017 newsletter. Gideon Eames August 2020 Additional All-Time Great Golfers (H = Member of World Golf Hall of Fame) PETER ALLISS H (England) 1931 - Best known as a television presenter and commentator, Alliss won 20 professional tournaments, including three British PGA Championships, in 1957, 1962 and 1965, and had five top 10 finishes in the Open Championship.
