Children Pitch and Putt in Spain
Oct 11th, 2009 | By IPPA admin | Category: ArticlesSeptember has been a very busy month for Pitch & Putt in Spain. Among the different tournaments that the RFEG Pitch & Putt Committee organizes, there is one that feels special: our National Championship for Children up to 14 years old.
For the complete story on this event , please go to the full article.
Torrepacheco (Murcia) – the first public P&P course in Spain – was a privileged witness of how 70 boys and girls from all over the country have learned to enjoy this game without loosing the seriousness and continuous concentration that his practice requires – specially at high level standings… their innocent naturalness brought an easy smile to our faces… so cute!
… Yet, they were not the only ones. Two weeks later, our Senior National Championship was received by ladies and gentlemen over 50-55 years with great expectations. A combination of spa circuits and river tours by beautiful Cofrentes, a selective environment surrounded by mountains outside the health resort and a tiptop garden, rather than a course, made more than 50 players aware of the door that Pitch & Putt opens to play the game of golf in a different way: more relaxed, not so physical demanding, with plenty time to spare, yet with the competitive spirit we all look for.
…So they played and they enjoyed doing it. Both kids and big kids have learned the simplest of the lessons: in sport, in LIFE you have to be tough and work hard whichever you want to achieve… doing it smiling makes the big difference.
… Keep smiling!
