CATALUNYA |
 |
|
It is a daunting task to be responsible for organising a trip for six seasoned and world travelled golfers, despite doing it for many years. I took the easy way out, and spoke to an expert, Toby Marsden of UKSG, it turned out to be one of the best decisions possible. The brief was simple, for somewhere different, with convenient travel, and most importantly, good golf. The solution presented was perfect, Catalunya and the Costa Brava, a region I had not visited for nearly forty years.

AN EAGLE FROM 'THE GOOSE' WINS DRAMATIC COMMERCIALBANK QATAR MASTERS |
| South African world number eight Retief Goosen won the $2.2 million Commercialbank Qatar Masters in January with a stunning birdie-eagle finish on the final two holes at Doha Golf Club. Going down the 587-yard par five eighteenth in joint second place, one shot behind Aussie left-hander Nick O?Hern, the South African knew a birdie might only be enough to force a play-off. But when O?Hern failed to make birdie, Goosen stepped up to drain a 35-foot eagle putt to finish on fifteen under-par (273), put his name on the trophy and leave O'Hern heartbroken.
