SHRIMPERZONE GOLF CHALLENGE 2005
The Costa Blanca is renowned for some of the best golf courses in Spain and the countryside around Jávea is no exception. Therefore we have teamed up with TeeOff2Spain, a golfing holiday specialist in the area (coincidentally co-managed by a Southend United fan) to put together a proposal for an inaugural ShrimperZone International Golf Challenge weekend to take place next year and therefore we put out an initial "APB" to all the SZ community to gather interest for such a competition.
The current proposal includes a long-weekend stay at the Denia-Marriott Hotel, a few miles inland from Jávea, which lies on the very edge of the impressive 18-hole La Sella Golf Club ('designed' by Jose Maria Olazabal) for two days of golf plus an evening of entertainment. Initial talk suggest that the challenge could take the form of a "fan/celebrity" tournament over the weekend in the style of the Ryder Cup, recently won so convincingly by the Europeans. (In fact the whole concept was derived whilst watching the likes of Monty and Sergio Garcia comprehensively defeat the Yanks on their own patch!) Indeed, our golfing contacts here in Jávea are willing to contact ex-Shrimpers and other notable players to provide the 'celebrity' half of the tournament.
For the gentler sex (i.e. the partners who want to experience some Springtime sun next year without the need to spoil it with a good walk around a golf course), we have also negotiated a number of deals with the Marriott Hotel's health and beauty spa for their "Spa Experience" so no-one will feel left out. We can also look at a day shopping in Valencia, just an hour's drive away.
If you are genuinely interested in taking part, please send me an e-mail to mike@shrimperzone.com. The more the merrier ...
