Tip of the week

MEET Francisco, El Chaparral Golf Club’s newest member of staff, who is responsible for ensuring that your cherished clubs are spotless after a round of golf. In a move designed to offer clients better value for money the course manger, Mr Domingo Gavira, told me that this laudable initiative was included completely free of charge in the price of the green fee and would help maintain El Chaparral’s status as one of the more user-friendly courses on the coast. Tips remain at the discretion of the client but, considering the normal price at some other courses is in the region of 10€, who wouldn’t begrudge Francisco a euro or two? Especially since your clubs will have received that recently polished / ‘as good as new’ look. Although El Chaparral wouldn’t lay claim to be one of the longest courses around, its curious technical layout – 6 Par 5’s, 6 Par 4’s and 6 Par 3’s -  along with some of the slickest and truest greens I have played, will please both low handicappers and beginners alike. Check out some of the two plus buggy summer offers until the end of September for a great deal all round.
