The Councillor for Sports, Víctor Valverde, has presented a golf initiative for this summer organised
the Department of Sports, which will take place during the month of June at the Vistabella Golf Club
in Entrenaranjos.
"With this initiative, we intend that our young people practice and discover golf with the valuable
sports and personal values that it offers," Valverde said, "also taking into account the provision that
Orihuela makes for this sport with five golf courses, some of them of a very high standard, in its
sports offering."
The councillor was accompanied by Joaquín Rocamora, technical director of the club, who wanted to
"thank the council for their support of this sport that is not perceived as a majority sport, but with
the renowned golfers we have in Spain as Jon Rahm and Sergio García, we must fight a little more
for this pastime."
This program is aimed at students of schools in the municipality of the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades
of Primary, as well as 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Secondary. The course will last one week and will be
divided into two, the first running from 11th to 15th June and from 18 th to 22 nd June from Monday to
Friday from 4.30pm to 6.30pm.
Children will be taught and practice this sport in a fun environment and it will be combined with
paddle lessons and flat green bowling in order to learn about other sporting practices.
The price for registration will be 25 euros per student, which includes five days of golf lessons with
fully qualified professional tutors, sports equipment, roundtrip transport to Entrenaranjos and
insurance and a sports licence, in addition to fruit and water for refreshment of the young golfers.
The councillor encouraged parents to participate and enrol their children in the programme who
want to discover this sport, "in which there are almost 35,000 federated youngsters in Spain",
through the schools themselves and also through the Department of Sport.
