The Spanish players who will compete in the 2010 European Women's and Women's Team Championships at the beginning of July have gathered at the National Golf Centre to prepare for both events, in which Spain hopes to achieve further international success. A total of ten golfers have been called up for the two days of training.
For the European Senior Championships, to be held at La Manga Club (Murcia) from July 6 to 10, the RFEG Women's Amateur Technical Committee has called up Carlota Ciganda from Navarre, Marta Silva from Santiago de Compostela, Mireia Prat and Elia Folch from Barcelona, Adriana Zwanck from Madrid, and Ane Urchegui from San Sebastián. They will all remain for up to two days under the guidance of captain Macarena Campomanes and RFEG coach Marcelo Prieto.
The strong results from previous editions are a source of optimism for this tournament, but they are not the only factor. Carlota Ciganda's performance in the United States, Marta Silva's recent victory in the Spanish National Championship, Adriana Zwanck's experience, and the recent improvement of the rest of the team also point to a good result in Murcia.
As for the European Girls' Championship, to be held on the same dates in Aalborg, Denmark, Spain's hopes will be represented by Barcelona natives Anna Arrese and Camilla Hedberg, and Málaga natives Noemí Jiménez and Rocío Sánchez—four young players with extensive experience and international credentials. Estefanía Knuth will captain the team, and Marta Figueras Dotti will handle the coaching duties.
The two teams meeting at the National Golf Center will train during the two-day training camp under the supervision of their respective coaches, physical trainer Francisco Fernández, and psychologist Óscar del Río. The scheduled sessions include short shots, difficult shots, putting, and post-competition physical recovery.
