Website of the week

www.rfegolf.es – a new website provided by the Spanish Golf Federation, and designed to assist Spanish-based golfers consult relevant golf news, is now up and running. Unfortunately, it is only in Spanish but is fairly straight-forward to negotiate. Aside from up to date golf news sub-scribers have the oppor-tunity to enter national competitions and consult their handicaps. Regarding the latter there is a section dedicated to becoming a federated golfer in Spain – currently around 350,000 golfers – which, if you read the smallprint, appears compulsory for residents (not holidaymakers I hasten to add). The annual cost effectively pays for itself as it includes basic civil liability insurance covering you against accidents occurring during a round of golf on RFEG courses. The policy will not pay up for a round of drinks in the event of a hole in one but may offer peace of mind when shouting ‘bola.’
