SPANISH SENIOR MIXED DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP 2024
Check the tournament microsite for information and a list of participants.
The Ulzama Golf Club (Lizaso, Navarre) is hosting one of the most popular tournaments on the calendar this weekend, despite only having been held three times: the Spanish Senior Mixed Doubles Championship. Forty-four pairs—including some prominent names from the national scene—have exceeded the available entries.
The tournament has many attractions, starting with the participation of last year's winners, the Basque siblings Víctor and María Chávarri (cumulative handicap 6.3). They secured their victory last year with a spectacular first round of 66 strokes.
The list includes pairs who, on paper, should be direct competition for the current champions: Carlos Ortega and María Castillo (0.3) - remember that the Canary Islander already won in 2021 together with Francisco Vega -, Julián García-Mayoral and María Patricia Segura (2.7), Enrique Martínez and María Dolores Rivero (3.2), or Álvaro Llanza and María de Orueta (2.9), winners in 2022.
In addition to all these names, it is worth noting that among the 88 participating golfers there are some with excellent track records; names such as Estefanía Knuth, Natalia Martínez-Reboredo, Juan Carlos Tinturé, Estanislao Urquijo or Pía Allende have been regulars in the list of winners of the official calendar.
The tournament format consists of 36 holes of Stroke Play Scratch played over two consecutive days. The first day features 18 holes played in Fourball format, and the second day features another 18 holes played in Greensome format.
