The week in Puerta de Hierro (Madrid), with 79 shots the 1st day, did not start in the best way for Ángel. But of course, we are talking about one of the best players in the amateur scene in Spain (if not the best), and we can never consider him dead. And precisely that happened; was climbing positions as the days passed (70 and 72 in the following rounds) and reached the final day 3 shots behind of the leaders (Rodriguez-Tabernero and Del Rey).

Hidalgo started the day like a rocket, with 6 birdies in the first 8 holes, making all his opponents scared. But a couple of errors midway through and some skills from Del Rey, caused an exciting final, with a play-off included. Finally, spectacular victory for the player of Real Club de Golf Guadalmina.

According to Ángel Hidalgo (see interview), this 2nd title in the Spanish Championship has been even more special than the first for two very simple reasons: it was one of the clear favorites (and it's not easy to manage this situation) and, of course, the spirit to overcome that 79 of the 1st round.

Angel is great on the course, but even more outside. Do not miss the beautiful words (see video) he had towards his family, club, friends and other "guilty" of all this.

Having a champion of these dimensions is a pride for our Club.¡Our most sincere congratulations!

Also to highlight the great role of the rest of the members of the School:

T19 Calvin John Greschner

T25 Lukas Pany

T33 Álvaro Mueller-Baumgart

56th Ignacio Gómez Osuna

Very formative day with RFGA psychologist Rocío Pomares. In two sessions, one with the parents and the other with the children, Rocío explained the fundamental bases of psychology, to later focus on us: how parents can improve in supporting our children and how our little champions can manage his "up & downs" during competition and in the practice of golf in general.

More than 50 participants in total (23 parents and 30 children) attended this innovative talk and the response could not be more positive: "nice!, we need more sessions like this".

Thanks to Rocío for the fantastic day and our Academy Director Castor Gómez for organizing it with her.

And to top off the day we witnessed 2 HOLES IN ONE! in the Monthly School competition in the Par 3 course. Congratulations to Pablo Hidalgo Portillo (hole 4) and David Schneider (hole 1).
