I was so looking forward to playing PGA Cataluya Resort and as I step on to the 10th tee – we’re playing the back nine first – the rain is still tipping it down but there is no way I am going to give this chance up. It’s only a month before the Espana Open and the course is looking immaculate.
Apart from a few pitch marks on the greens which I’m sure will grow out in the two-week shutdown before the tournament starts, the greens even through the casual water are looking pretty slick. It’s strange because this course could be set in the middle of England as it cuts through a forest of trees and the grass isn’t what you would normally expect from a Spanish course – something you’ll notice if you play the courses I’ve played this week.
