Can we play golf (2) ?


Back home and onto the internet to sort out the golf, only to find that the sales office web address is nothing to do with the golf.

So onto Google and …….4 hours later, purely by chance I find what I am looking for. Santa Cristina? …… nothing like it! Via a website for Aymerich Golf Management, which has several member courses I found what I was looking for - El Mundo del Aguilon, Pulpi, Almeria.

After checking, double checking and then checking again just to make sure, I knew I had finally found what I’d been looking for. It had opened on March 1st, a week after we had been there. On checking for membership details, it seemed you joined the group of clubs and for different membership schemes could play them all so many times a year. It didn’t seem as if you could just join one course, back in March the website was all mainly in Spanish so I wasn’t too sure I was understanding it correctly, so the easiest thing was to e-mail them to ask about membership.

The following day I received an e-mail back and yes, they were happy to consider offering us one of the 25 year family memberships which were transferable as and when we no longer wished to play there. We filled in the application form and faxed it back - and waited.

After a number of e-mails (their English was pretty good) from Aymerich, we heard we had been accepted for membership and paid over our fees for the membership.

It may seem very odd to join a course we’ve never played but getting the golf sorted out so we could play when we wanted as often as we wanted was a major requirement of our move, so we were happy to go ahead .

Now, we cannot wait to get over there to play our first round of golf on our new course, just as soon as our clubs arrive!
