From July 6^th to 8^th , the Junior Spanish Championship from 6 to 14 years old, was played at Real Club de Golf El Prat in Barcelona. A tournament that met the excitement and the desire to compete of the little ones with the nervousness of their parents. A beautiful week that was, thanks to everyone’s efforts, a success.

JUNIOR SPANISH CHAMPIONSHIP

The tournament is going to be known for being a very tight competition within the different categories with three play offs and 4 hole in ones. The course was set up so the players could enjoy the course and shoot good results. All 45 holes were used: the junior golfers played on the Pink Course because is the longest and hardest one; the yellow course was played by the next category and the youngest golfers played on the 9 holes left.

Also, is going to be remembered by the perfect organization of the Club and the Spanish Golf Federation so that the protocols against COVID were followed. Upon arrival at the Club, all the participants and those accompanying them underwent an antigen test to make sure that they were all healthy. In addition, strict protocols were followed so people were not gathered in certain areas: in the registration process, there were shifts as in the practice tee. Players could shoot balls 40 minutes before departure and were entitled to a total of 90 minutes before and after the game, no more. In this way, we prevented people from spending extra hours in the Club interacting with other participants.

AN EXCEPTIONAL ORGANIZATION

The President of Spanish Golf Federation, Gonzaga Escauriaza, was very pleased with the outcome of the tournament: “I want to thank Real Club de Golf El Prat for the amazing organization. All the staff were very helpful and the kids had a great week. All 45 holes looked amazing and we consider this course to be perfect to host a tournament such as this one.”

On the course, all the players demonstrated temperance and good manners, setting an example that golf is a perfect life teacher. We want to congratulate all the players; it was an honor to host this great event.
