Golf lovers and animal lovers have a fresh date for their diaries, as La Cala Resort prepares to host a further ACE Shin charity golf tournament this summer July, 5.
July date confirmed for La Cala Golf
Following the success of February’s event, the tournament returns on Sunday, July 5, this time taking place on La Cala’s Campo America course. Proceeds will support the amazing ACE (Animal Care España) Shelter in La Cala de Mijas, the long-running animal rescue charity that cares for hundreds and hundreds of abandoned dogs and cats across the Costa del Sol.
Texas Scramble format returns for summer tournament
The day will follow the same well-loved format, Texas Scramble (a relaxed team format where all four players in a group tee off, then choose the best shot and all play their next ball from that spot, repeating until the hole is finished), with check-in from 8:30am and a shotgun start (where all groups begin play simultaneously from different holes around the course, rather than teeing off one after another from the first hole) at 9:30am. Players can be in with a chance of winning prizes for nearest the pin, longest drive, beat the pro and more, followed by lunch in the clubhouse with a raffle and the prize giving.
Entry prices and charity donation
Entry cost to take part is €90, this covers golf plus lunch with drinks included. If golf isn’t your thing but watching and lunch is, then you can go for the €35 lunch-only ticket. €25 from every golfer’s entry fee goes directly to the shelter and the incredible work they do.
How to book your place
Registration for the July tournament is now open via the GolfDirecto booking platform, where players can also view tee times, pairs and groups, and results once the event takes place. Those interested in a lunch-only ticket can email golfsales@lacala.com directly.
With ACE continuing to rely solely on donations and volunteer support to care for the hundreds of animals in their shelter, organisers are hoping this second tournament of the year will draw just as many golfers and just as much community spirit.
