Golf is becoming an increasingly popular sport year after year, and it seems that women's golf has also experienced a huge rise in the last few years. For those who follow women's golf, you know that next month we will be watching the La Sella Open, which returns to the Ladies European Tour.
It is also important that this course was designed by Jos Mara Olazbal, and this course is interesting for many reasons.
Namely, most emphasize that this course is a combination of art and precision, and the Spanish golfer emphasized in an interview with the media that he is really proud of this project, which really turned out to be the right thing.
30 years later, seeing that it hosts a well-established womens tournament and that the players are genuinely happy to play a course like this, well, thats what Im most proud of, he said, as quoted by LIV Golf Weekly.
Nostalgia
The Spaniard went back a little further in time, remembering the moment when, as a 29-year-old, he looked at this course and had great ambitions for it.
When he returns to those old places, nostalgia awakens in him, but also pride, considering that he has done something great.
To have such a vision at the age of 29 is truly phenomenal, and he still has strong emotions towards this golf course.
Whenever I walk a course Ive designed, my mind goes back and I remember the origins, the goals we had, he said.
And as the years go by, seeing how a course matures, improves, develops and becomes more refined, all those memories and emotions come back, and they make you feel proud of the work done.
You must be as non-intrusive as possible with the surroundings and prepare the course in a way that ensures long-term sustainability from the materials you use to design the course, to optimising water usage, he said.
