The Royal Spanish Golf Federation, together with the Autonomous Federations and the support of the Higher Sports Council through its Women and Sport program, promotes the television program HOLAGOLF, a fifteen-minute magazine that is now in its ninth season.
The aim of this program, presented by journalist Miguel Ángel Barbero and professional golfer Patricia Lobato, is to introduce golf to those unfamiliar with it by highlighting its many benefits, such as health, nature, and physical activity. Additionally, leading figures in the sport collaborate to dispel the prejudices that have historically been associated with this recreational and athletic activity.
The twenty-seventh program begins by reviewing current events in Spanish golf. The RFEG (Royal Spanish Golf Federation) and the Spanish Association of Golf Courses have developed an action plan to further promote the sport's sustainability through the responsible and effective use of water.
Later, in the "Interview," Joaquín Niemann spoke to the program's cameras to review his brilliant season. The Chilean has won the LIV Golf Championship five times and has established himself as one of the best players on the international scene.
In 'Unique Hole', we see the 9th hole of the Celia Barquín Abra del Pas course, with its sensational views of the Pas River and the Cantabrian Sea. The wind is its main adversary, making it a real challenge for players. Then, in 'Damasgolf', the talented Almería native Marina Escobar shares her firsthand experience of her first year as a professional golfer.
The program concludes with the segment "With Another Accent," where journalist Abraham Neme had the opportunity to chat with JJ Spaun, winner of the last US Open. The American champion has an interesting connection to the Latin world and talks about his Mexican roots.
This weekly program is produced by La Moviola and promoted by the Royal Spanish Golf Federation and the Higher Sports Council, through its Women and Sport program.
Apart from the weekly premieres, all HOLAGOLF programs are regularly rebroadcast on Teledeporte and are also available for online viewing at http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/holagolf/, www.holagolf.es and www.rfegolf.es.
