The RFEG's Adapted and Inclusive Golf Committee held a fun-filled "AM AM" event this Monday at the National Golf Center in Madrid, focused on promoting its sporting activities. Participants included members of the Spanish team, golf journalists, students from the Blume National School, and other sports personalities, who gained firsthand knowledge of how an Adapted Golf competition operates.
ADAPTED 2024 GOLF QUADRANGULAR MATCH
This AM AM tournament - focused solely on amateur players - which is part of the organization of the first edition of the international quadrangular match that, from October 1st to 3rd, will pit Spain against the representative teams of Denmark, France and Sweden, has taken place in a festive atmosphere, and has closed with an awards ceremony in which everyone has shared the valuable experience of playing with a European Adapted Golf Champion, such as Juan Postigo from Cantabria, or with the winner of the 2023 World Blind Golf Championship, Alejandro de Miguel.
The former footballers Miguel Ángel Ferrer 'Mista' and Miguel Melgar, the former basketball player Toñín Llorente and the narrator of La Liga on Movistar Plus Carlos Martínez have participated in the day.
Juan Postigo leads Spain in the four-team tournament
The Spanish team, which begins its demanding challenge against Sweden, Denmark, and France this Tuesday, is led by Juan Postigo himself. Joining him are Antonio Llerena, José Luis Pascual, and the promising Patricia Roldán, who is making her debut on the National Adapted Golf Team.
The tournament is played in Tour Scramble format: Each team consists of one Official Competitor (OC) and three amateurs. Each player tees off on each hole from their respective tee boxes. The team selects the best-placed ball from the four tees. If the chosen ball is the OC's, all four players take their second shot from that spot, each with their own ball. If the chosen ball is one of the amateurs', the three amateurs play from that spot, each with their own ball, but the OC continues playing from their position. From the chosen spot, each amateur finishes the hole with their own ball.
