Play Golf All Year Round
Friday, October 28, 2022

Would you like to play golf at any time of the year, enjoying springtime temperatures and a pleasant sea breeze? You can, in the Canary Islands: a veritable paradise for golf lovers, close to the beach and offering excellent services.

In the Canary Islands, you are sure to enjoy an ideal holiday playing golf. Many reasons make it possible: a privileged climate that enables you to play golf 365 days a year; spectacular, varied scenery including exceptional volcanic landscapes, beaches, mountains and nature reserves; a first-class infrastructure of services and leisure to satisfy every need and offering magnificent value for money; and, of course, an excellent variety of golf courses. Most courses are to be found on Tenerife and Gran Canaria, but there are also excellent fairways on the islands of Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and La Gomera. There is no doubt about it: any time of the year is ideal for playing your favorite sport in the Canary Islands, where you can enjoy some truly extraordinary conditions.

 

 

Another attraction of playing golf in the Canary Islands is that you can try out different courses by simplymaking short trips around the islands without having to change accommodation. Wherever you go, you will find top quality, modern facilities with all the necessary conveniences. Fun, original courses dotted with bunkers of black, volcanic sand and surrounded by unique indigenous vegetation await you on the islands. You are sure to have fun overcoming the challenges they pose while admiring the fabulous views over the Atlantic ocean or the magnificent mountains that dominate the archipelago.

You will find courses to suit all tastes, ideal for both professional players and those who wish to improve their skill: from golf clubs that are venues for major PGA tournaments, such as the Tenerife Ladies Open, to courses for beginners or improving your game in a friendly, quiet atmosphere.

One of the clearest indications that the islands are perfect for golf is the abundance of available space: as well as the existing courses, many more are planned or are already being built and expected to be opened shortly.

Spanish mid life crisis
Wednesday, October 19, 2022

 
I had worked all my life growing my own business and been married to the same woman for 40 years. At last, we had made it and the business was going well. I suppose a man reaches a certain stage in life when he questions what he has achieved and what direction he is going in. 
 
Feeling very unsettled we sold up everything in the UK. Lock stock and barrel and moved to an attractive villa with a small garden and pool in sunny Spain. 
 
We settled well into the Costa life and between the Golf club, the Yacht club, and three trips a year back to the UK to see the grand children; we established a very comfortable life with a wide circle of friends. 
 
After a particularly long hot day on the golf course and a long languorous dinner in the yacht club we took a taxi home and we partook of a nightcap on the verandah, watching the sunset and listening to the Cicadas start up their evening song, I took a long slow careful look at my wife of over 40 years and commented:
 
“40 years ago we had a cold, cheap and cheerful apartment, an old little rusty smelly unreliable car, we slept on a narrow lumpy sofa bed and watched a flickering 10-inch black and white TV. I was very happy then because I got to sleep every night with a hot, firm, fit 25-year-old girl”.
 
 She frowned at me, smiled as only she can and just sat there quietly saying nothing. I continued: 
 
“Now I have a luxury architect designed £1,500,000 home, a £65,000 luxury car, nice big king sized soft bed and 65-inch wide screen TV. We want for nothing.  But I'm sleeping with a wrinkly 65-year-old slack woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things in this marriage”.
 
Now my wife is a very reasonable and pleasant woman. She smiled at me sardonically and said,
 
 “It’s OK by me if you go out and find a hot, 25-year-old, taut, fit girl to sleep with any time you like. But I will make sure that you will once again be living in a cold, cheap and cheerful apartment, drive an old, little rusty smelly unreliable car, sleep on a narrow lumpy sofa bed and watch a flickering 10-inch black and white TV. Be my guest. Go ahead!

I think wives of 40 years are great. They have a way of concentrating a man’s mind.  They really know how to solve a mid-life crisis.
