The Superyacht Report - Bumper year for Pinmar golf tournament

The momentum of the Pinmar Golf Tournament saw no sign of abating this year from previous, highly successful competitions. In fact, it was so well subscribed that organisers had to bring play forward by a day to Wednesday 12 October in order to allow everyone a chance to get around the 56-hectare Son Gual course, peppered with 66 bunkers, over 1,000 olive trees and numerous bodies of water ready to provide a challenging round. Esther Barney reports.

This year 372 players – 20 more than in 2010 – made it round the 18 holes (not without a degree of ‘encouragement’ on the part of the patient but coercive marshalls on their zippy buggies) in an effort to be crowned at the gala dinner. This staunch favourite in the Mediterranean yachting calendar has had to expand, with its popularity growing from a less formal day around the course among a comparatively diminutive group to a gargantuan task of military precision on behalf of the dozens of course marshalls and volunteers manning the course bars and club house, and of course the organising Pinmar team run by indefatigable company secretary Nick Entwisle. Over 100 companies contribute to the organisation and sponsorship of the Pinmar Golf Tournament in all.
