None of us need reminding how difficult life has been for everyone, including golf courses since the first lockdown on the 15th March 2020.
Most golf courses relied heavily on local golf society golfers and members during this period of time when the tourist golfers were prevented from playing golf here in Spain due to lockdowns or travel restrictions.
As these travel restriction rules have been eased over the late summer month’s we have seen a large influx of tourist golfers filling the golf courses and giving some hope for a more normal future for the golf industry in this part of Spain.
September and October have been particularly busy and for anyone looking for a game of golf it has become a case of finding a course that has any tee time availability rather that the golfer specifying where they want to play and unfortunately in many cases the time to play a round has gone past the five hour mark again.
How nice it is to see the bars, restaurants and golf courses active with people again.
However there is always a dark cloud somewhere and this has been provided recently by the local police at El Plantio where there have been a number of car parking fines and tow away’s to cars supposedly parked on the El Plantio outer car parking area outside the arch so be careful because they look intent on ruining a golfers day for jobsworth reasons because it is off a side road with not a house in sight so obviously a money making scheme for someone.
You have been warned.
