The Balearic Team represented by Pep Juaneda, Captain of the team, the boys, Toni Ferrer, Jaime Fuster, from Club de Golf Son Servera, Ataulfo del Hoyo, from Real Golf de Bendinat & Diego Oosterlynck, from Golf Park Puntiró, & Alejandra Ferrer, Captain, Azahara Mellado & Isabel van der Graaf, from Golf Son Parc & the other players from the Club de Son Servera, Neus Crende & Nuria Jiménez, were unable to retain the trophy this time.

Mr. Hugh Brown, organizer of the event and and administrator of Son Parc, and speaking for the Cheshire Team Mr Ted Leather, President of thel Cheshire Union of Golf Clubs, and representing the Balearic Golf Federation, Vanessa Vignali, who acted as Team captain.
Saturday was the first day of play both morning and afternoon; in the morning 5 mixted foursomes were played with results favourable to the balearic Team, thanks to the three victories of the pairs made up of Toni & Neus, Ata & Nuria & Diego e Isabel a tie. After a short rest for lunch, at 14:00 h the fourballs went out (2 players being rested), when the Balearic player lost all of their advantages obtained during the morning, and they were only able to obtain 1 victory, that of the pair made up by Toni & Pep. The day concluded in a draw of 9 points each team.
Sunday morning 10 individual matches went out. The Balearic team needed to win 5 matches in order to retain the Trophy. Alejandra, Pep & Toni managed the first victories in their matches. The Balearic Team were unable to make any other victories, only one more point which corresponded to a draw in a very tight match between Isabel Van der Graaf & Poppy Finlay. This way the final result was favourable to the English team made up of the following players: Dominica Barnes (capitain)from Caldy GC, Charlie Berry from Heswall GC, Tom Heggarty from the Royal Liverpool GC, Cameron Massey from Chorlton cum Hardy GC, Haydn McCullen from Didsbury Gc, Bronte Law (capitain) from Bramhall GC, Gemma Clews from Ashton on Mersey GC, Chrlotte Leatham from Styal GC, Abbie Cowlard from Reddish Vale GC & Poppy Finlay from Vicars Cross GC, with a final result of 22 to 16.

GOLF & TENNIS TOGETHER (Sergio García - Rafa Nadal) 19 November 2009
En golf, yo diría que el 70% es mental, el 25% físico y el 5% cuestión de suerte.
Rafa Nadal:
En tenis el físico es todo, si estás mal físicamente no juegas, o estás al 100% o no juegas. Mentalmente, el 80% siempre que los golpes te respondan. Tienes que dar muy buenos golpes y saber usarlos, hay gente que pega buenos golpes y la cabeza no acompaña. La suerte sólo es un punto, máximo un punto y un partido no se decide en un punto. En golf es distinto, la suerte puede influir más, que la bola bote y vaya para acá o para allá puede cambiar mucho.
CHESHIRE UNION BOYS' SQUAD TEAM PICKS SON PARC FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR THEIR WINTER TRAINING 19 November 2009
THE CHESHIRE UNION , for the second year, has sent a group of BOYS' S QUAD, 15 boys in total, to Menorca to start a period of intensive warm-weather coaching under the direction of senior county coaches, Alan Thompson and Peter Barber.
County boys manager Michael Jones says: "It is difficult to coach certain aspects of the game when it is wet, when greens are soft, bumpy and slow. Also, with chipping, the coaches want somewhere with a firm surface, not off muddy surfaces or soft greens like you get on parkland courses in Cheshire at this time of year.” Son Parc, on the other hand offers good surfaces and reliable weather conditions.
The trip this year started on the 13th until 20th February 2009.
INTERNET ACCESS 19 November 2009
In our snack bar area at Hallisy's, you can find an internet web kiosk from where you can surf the internet, send emails and keep in contact with home for as little as € 1 for the first 10 minutes.
The kiosk is coin operated.
Ask at the bar for more information.
BALEARIC YOUNGSTERS RETAIN MATTHEW BROWN CUP 19 November 2009
The Second Matthew Brown Cup, played between teams of under-18 boys and girls from the Balearic Isles and the English County of Cheshire, proved to be an exciting event. In the mixed foursomes on the first morning, Cheshire won by four matches to one taking a healthy 8:2 lead into the lunch break. But the Balearics came back strongly in the afternoon, taking three fourballs to Cheshire’s one to leave the overnight position as a narrow lead for Cheshire by 10 points to 8.
As so often happens in the Ryder Cup on which this competition is based, the singles proved decisive. The day began well for the English team with Matthew Taylor taking the first match against Jaime Fuster 5 and 3 to make the score 12:8. But then wins for Azahara Mellado (5&4 over Imogen Wilson) and Claudia Frau, who beat Abbie Cowland 3&2, brought the two teams level. Ataulfo del Hoyo finished all square with James Newton and so did Toni Servera and Mark Geddes. So, with half the singles finished, the two teams were neck and neck on 14 each.
After that it was virtually one way traffic for the Spanish youngsters. First Alexandra Ferrer edged Kelly Paxton one up then Pep Juaneda and Nuria Iturrios comfortably won their matches against Martin Thomas and Zoe Evans, 4&2 and 6&5 respectively and to decide the destination of the Cup. Martin Leese managed to hold Jose Insua all square but Luna Sobron won the final match on the 18th finishing 2 up on Claire Fry to give the Balearic Team a resounding 23:15 victory. The visitors from Cheshire were however able to take some comfort from having reduced the margin of victory from 10 points to 8 since last year and, more importantly, had enjoyed fine weather, wonderful golf and making the acquaintance of new friends from across the sea.
Individual congratulations go particularly to Alexandra Ferrer, the only player to win in foursomes, fourballs and singles and Matthew Taylor who was a winner both times he went out.
Take a virtual flight around Son Parc 19 November 2009
Thanks to Golf Son Parc member and aerial photographer Martin Hejnar you can now get a bird's eye view of the course. Martin's superb photos of each hole can be seen on the course guide pages and you can see some of his shots of the island on his website: www.vistaire.es.
SICTED - tourist quality system implemented at Golf Son Parc 19 November 2009
For the forth successive year, last June 2008, we have received the "Sicted" certification by the General Secretary of Tourism for the quality management systems relating to tourist destinations.
As part of the quality system we are establishing a client service questionnaire. Please help to improve and maintain the quality of our business by completing a questionnaire which will be available in the shop and inside the bar and drop it at the reception desk.
We would like to get your opinions to be able to improve the course and our services.
ENVIROMENTAL DECLARATION 19 November 2009
Golf Son Parc Menorca S.L. announces its commitment to the protection and improvement of the environment, by implanting a complete system of quality tourist destination (S.I.C.T.E.D.). We recognise that respecting the environment is directly connected with human well being and in our case, sporting excellence.
We believe that by putting into place a system such as this, it will be fundamental to the contribution of the conservation of our title as a Biosphere Reserve. It is for that reason that we have opted for plans which pursue the following objectives:
· Good Internal Management: to manage a golf course and its auxiliary installations in such a way that minimises the noxious impact on the environment and use natural resources as well as following local, national and European regulations concerning environmental matters.
· The conservation of the Biosphere: to expand to the maximum the ecological potential of the golf course. For that we hope to collaborate with non profit making organisations who put into practise environmental protection plans.
· Communication and Education: to ensure that the staff adopt both political and practical positions in favour of the environment and these are perceived by and transmitted to the public.
· Saving water and energy: by following controls and results as well as the awareness of both staff and golfers. Investing in control systems for a computerised irrigation system and of course by using “recycled water” to water the course.
· The use of cleaning products “non aggressive to the environment”
· Minimise the generation of dangerous residues.
· Recycling of paper, cardboard and plastics.
In order to implement these objectives, certain environmental management criteria are emplaced that take into account the aforementioned objectives as well as the needs of the golfers, the staff that work and other interested parties.
If managed properly, we believe that golf can act as a model to be imitated for good environmental practise.
GOLF SON PARC MENORCA S.L.
THEY CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF GOLF SON PARC 19 November 2009
For four friends from Manchester, coming to Son Parc in the spring for a week’s golf has become an annual event. Brian Atherton, Peter Hargreaves, Norman Evans and Ron Blezard are now in their late sixties but still play off very respectable handicaps ranging from 9 to 20. And, in fact, they love the place so much that they have been coming for fourteen years and two of them make an extra visit in the autumn as well! So between them that adds up to around ten thousand drives, ten thousand sunk putts – and quite a few shots in between.
They were very fond of the original nine hole course especially the old fifth with its tee on top of the hill – sadly this tee was lost in extending the course to 18 holes and will be the site of luxury villa in the future but the approach and green remain as part of the dogleg fourteenth. They enjoy the new holes too and always find the course challenging.
But it isn’t just the golf they come for because the friendliness of everybody at Son Parc and the great food in the clubhouse (a building much extended and improved since they first came) are all part of the attraction. So too is the island itself and they have often found themselves making the short drive to the picturesque fishing port of Fornells for dinner after a hard day on the course.
And you could be doing the same thing - we are only a couple of hours flying time from the UK and there are flights from most airports between May and October. We can arrange not only the golf but also luxury apartments alongside the course and book your car hire too. So why not drop an email to David Billington or phone him on 07710 331754 and we'll fix it all up for you.
18 Holes Officially Opened 19 November 2009
Saturday 12 August 2006 was an historic day for Golf Son Parc. At 8 o'clock in the morning, Golf Son Parc founder Hugh Brown struck the first offical shot on the new 18 hole course. He was playing with family friends Steve and Thomas Proffitt and long time Son Parc staff member Stephanie Crossley in the official inauguration competition. This invitation-only competiton was initially limited to 88 players but demand to be part of this special day was so high that the Son Parc team pulled out all the stops to enable almost twice that number to participate.
ESCUELA BALEAR DE MENORCA 19 November 2009
Golf Son Parc cederá sus instalaciones para las concentraciones.
Creada la sede de la Escuela Balear de Golf en Menorca.
Menorca.
15/11/2005 - Golf Son Parc Menorca. La gran aceptación que el deporte del Golf ha tenido durante estos ultimos años entre los niños de Menorca, obligaba a esta Delegación a dar un paso hacia delante en la formación de estos nuevos jugadores.
La Federación Balear sensible ante la demanda realizada desde Menorca, se puso a trabajar en la posibilidad de crear en Menorca una sede propia de la Escuela Balear.La respuesta no se hizo esperar y a principios de Octubre se desplazaron a Menorca la Presidenta del Comité de Infantiles Francisca Negre, el Gerente Ricardo Moralejo y el profesor Marcos Juan, para por una parte explicar a los padres el Proyecto de Constitución de la Escuela en Menorca, y por otra proceder por parte de los profesores Marcos Juan y Gustavo Flammia a realizar una prueba a los 30 jugadores de la Escuela del Club de Golf Son Parc o niños con licencia federativa, para con posterioridad poder seleccionar a los jugadores mas avanzados que serán los tutelados por la Federación. La totalidad de los gastos que su formación ocasione será subvencionada en su totalidad por la Federación Balear a través de su Delegación en Menorca.
Esta Escuela viene a ser el espejo de la ya existente en Mallorca. La formación de estos jugadores se realizará semanalmente por el Monitor de la Federación en Menorca Gustavo Flammia, y mensualmente por un profesor de la Federación que se desplazará hasta nuestra Isla.
Como complemento de esta formación están previstos desplazamientos a Mallorca para participar en las pruebas organizadas por la F.B.G y controles técnicos. Del resultado de las pruebas, los alumnos seleccionados para formar parte de la Escuela Balear de Golf con sede en Menorca son: Xavi Torres Huguet, Pau Torres Huguet, Artem Koblow, Azahara Mellado, Isabel Van Der Graaf, Alex Carreras Graig, Andrés Martínez Artal, Antonio Recuenco. Cecilia Fdez-Reyes, Gabriel Palomo.
La delegación en Menorca de la Federación Balear de Golf quiere agradecer públicamente la gran sensibilidad demostrada por el Presidente de la Federación Pablo Fuster así como por el restos de los componentes de su Junta Directiva. Igualmente agradecer al Sr.Hugh Brown propietario del Campo de Golf de Son Parc y al resto de sus empleados por cedernos sus instalaciones y la paciencia demostrada con los niños, sin las cuales este ilusionante proyecto seria inviable, agradecerle igualmente el gran apoyo que con carácter general y en particular con el tema de los niños están prestando a esta Delegación. Destacar por ultimo, el trabajo de la Junta Directiva del Club de Golf Son Parc pues a ellos debemos, poder contar con una escuela con mas de 30 niños, que nutrirán a la recientemente creada Escuela Balear de Golf en Menorca.

Computerised irrigation system commissioned 19 November 2009
The photo on the right shows Mark Ganning, European Design Manager of leading irrigation specialists RainBird, putting the finishing touches to our new computer-controlled irrigation system. Its commissioning represents another great step towards completing the new course and will reduce our dependence on rainfall. Every drop of water is precious and the RainBird system (probably the most sophisiticated irrigation system in Menorca) will enable us to ensure that the water goes to the right place at the right time to deliver the top quality golf we are committed to providing.
Mark and the RainBird team have worked closely with us for many years and we are delighted to pay tribute to the professional service they have always provided.
