Macarena Campomanes has been appointed as the new President of the Women's Amateur Technical Committee of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, replacing Vicky Pertierra, who leaves this position after a brilliant period at the head of it to dedicate herself fully to her obligations at the Santa Ponsa Golf Club, in Mallorca, leaving behind some years in which Spanish women's amateur golf has added very important international triumphs.
A prominent amateur player, Macarena Campomanes boasts a record that includes, among other accolades, two World Team Championships (1986 and 1992). She was also twice runner-up in the Spanish Amateur Championships and, as captain, won the European Junior Women's Championships in 1996 and 1998.
As an executive, Macarena Campomanes already effectively held the responsibility of President of the RFEG Women's Amateur Technical Committee between 1992 and 2000. In recent years she was part of this Committee as a Member under the presidency of the aforementioned Vicky Pertierra, a position that the latter has held for the past 6 years.
The RFEG Board of Directors also approved, at its last meeting, the inclusion of Ignacio Guerra –President of the Madrid Golf Federation– as a Member, while the Anti-Doping Commission is reinforced with the presence of Alberto Bueno, also as a Member.
