Los Naranjos was voted “course of the year” in the Costa del Sol in 2005 and 2008, so they must be doing something right! It was opened back in 1977 and has been host to tons of competitions including the Spanish Open. On their web site they say that it is ranked as one of the best courses in Spain.
We play the “generous fairways” on Friday, (our final day). It’s a fairly long course with the yellows clocking in a 5,813 metres. I hope you’re looking forward to this one.
Gary Player must have been having a good day when they invited him to design this incredible course set in the peaceful El Paraiso valley. Majestic mountains form an incredible silhouette to the north, while the cool waters of the Med lap away to the south. It’s been around since 1973 and apparently has one of the best championship course layouts on the coast.
We’ll be descending on this gem, en mass on Tuesday morning so prepare for a beautiful first day. John Graham and Viv both decided that this course was so awesome that we’d do it twice. So we’re coming back again on the Thursday 9th June.
Playboy TV UK is headlining the sponsors for the annual VivThomas.com Golf Week in Marbella, Spain this year.

Many deals have been brokered and relationships strengthened on the fairways of Iberia over the last four years while the tournament has been running. We look forward to another highly enjoyable golf week this summer.
We’re certainly looking forward to a week in June packed with golf, super hot weather and a few drinks in Puerto Banus. Are you?
Hello Gents,
The time has come for us to start planning for next years Golf Masters.
As some of you may remember, it was muted that we have the 2011 event in Spain. With this in mind John Graham has really done his homework and he’s put together what I consider to be a tremendous package for the guys.
See the attached flyer for the program of events, accommodation and transport arrangements. The resort has been booked exclusively for the golfers for the week, 6th to 13th June. Arrivals will be on Monday 6th June, playing 18 holes each day 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th, departing on Saturday 11th. However the resort has been booked in our names until Monday 13th, so anybody wishing to stay on, there will not be any extra charges for the two additional nights, departing Monday am.

There don’t seem to be too many photos from Day 3. If you recall it was a really wet day and Byron and Tom played a ripping game (only coming in an hour behind the team in front of them).
Let’s hope the weather will be better next year!
Jerry very kindly sent us a link to all his photos, if you missed it here you are: http://picasaweb.google.com/jerry.halford/VivThomasMasters2010#
I threw a few phone camera photos into this little video making machine…
Just to remind you, this was Tuesday 8th June and we played at Quinta da Cima. Weather was getting a little blustery and Sr. Viv Thomas got the longest drive – I’ll prove that in the next post. We headed off to the “Steak on a stone” restaurant later… I’m sure it’ll come back to you as you check out the photos.
