Another 176 players got a taste of the Golf Las Americas experience as the Tenerife and La Gomera Golf Circuit brought the 2010 second round to the course last Saturday. Was the weather especially ordered? it seemed to be as clear blue skies, hot sun and a cool breeze off the Atlantic for comfort was the order of the day. Las Americas was buzzing with World Cup fever but thanks to the naturally protected wrapping of nature all that was shut out, and not a hint of a vuvuzela in the air.

Gomasper and GHOTELES headed the field of sponsors but thanks must also go to Turismo de Tenerife, Canary Islands Golf Federation, Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, Francachela Catering & Services, www.canarias.com, Heineken, Fred Olsen & Hotel Jardin Tecina, Golf + , Fonteide, Kalise, Cadena Ser Radio Club Tenerife, Caroli Health Club at the Sheraton Hotel La Caleta, Golf Holiday, Cava Castillo Peralada, Coca Cola, Imegal, Tents Atlantico, AXA Insurance, Abama Golf & Spa Resort, Hotel Jardin Tropical, Hotel Spa Villalba , Spring Hoteles, Vincci Hotels, Sorted Sites and Ideal Jewelers.

The day was played with a friendly but keen rivalry, trophies from the Canary Islands Golf Federation and the first tournament awards were given to runners up

The ball nearest to the pin for ladies at the 8th hole was for Susana Fernandez de  Caleya with 172 cm and the Mens for Manuel Martinez with 260 cm. The Seniors Prize went to Anthlony Kevin Spence with 36 points and the sought after Scratch prize went to David Ian Pritchard with 36 points. A special mention must go to Sofia Puig who was playing in her 1st tournament and recorded a magnificent score of 50 points.
