Torreblanca Masters at Parador

The first Major of the year, put this date in your diaries, It's not to be missed. Three years ago Eric Chapman won here with 42 points to take the green jacket, two years ago Mick Gillingham took the title with 41. It will take a big effort and a big score to go home with the green jacket in 2010. Last year Bill 'what's the weather going to be like' Giles crossed the line with 39 points.

 Neils tip for the title in 2010 goes to Uta, she's had a quiet 2009 but will come alive this year.

The Torreblanca U.S Open at Calanova

This year U.S Open will take place at Calanova, Last year Chris Lawrence took the prize on his home turf.  Calanova has had it's troble in 2009 but will be back to it's best in the new year, we look forward to seeing our good friend Manole and his team.

 Neil's Tip for this years Champion is Andy Hassall, he loves this track, he knows his way around this course, he uses all the fairways here, even if he's not playing that hole at that particular time, watch out for that man Hassallhoff.

The Torreblanca Open 15th July 2010 at Santana Golf and Country Club

Costalock our sponsors for the day. This Years Open will be held at Santana Golf and Country Club, a fitting venue for such a big event, pictured below. Neil's tip for the big one is Dave Harris.... This course suits the no nonsense straight hitting Welshman, as long as he can get his fridge fitted on time he might stand a chance.

The Torreblanca P.G.A Chamionships 12th August 2010 at Rio Real

This years PGA will be held at Rio Real current Holder is Walter Harrison, who won at Montemayor last year and will be hopeing for a repeat of last years win. Southern Capt. Monty Caveney might stand a chance of his first career Major to go one better than the year before last and outwit the Flying Fin and not f**k up the last hole like he did at Santana. John Hicks (pictured below) will also have something to say about the outcome, a past PGA Champion in 2007, he came a comendable third in 2008, although Rio Real is not for the faint hearted, will it suit big Johns game, will Monty fall to pieces...again or will Timo hold his nerve ? Although my big tip for the Championship is Walter...you heard it here first!
