Members and guests gathered impatiently to once again take a crack at their favourite sport, after so many weeks of waiting.

But first – before teeing up on Hole Nº1 – a toast to the reopening of Atalaya’s kiosk with the first coffee.

President Michael Pollak, pictured in bright yellow and orange and a member of the Bad Boys’ group, kicked off the festivities by taking the first drive on Hole Nº1.

Pollak played with Mirko Bogdanov, Nick Fulford and Peter Hood.

The team of four watching the last putts on Hole 18 after exactly 64 days of the State of Alarm closed the course.

And finally, the end of the game – only with smiles and a wave…..

Right now hugs and handshakes are lacking. Physical contact to say congratulations and thanks is not permitted.

All of this is temporary. Better days will come. COVID-19 will eventually pass and everything will return to normal.

Last Monday, May 28th, the collaboration between Atalaya Golf & Country Club and the TV production company became a reality, and Holes 12 and 13 were transformed into a TV set.

“Living the Dream” was first broadcast on November 2, 2017, on Sky One. Series One consisted of six episodes. The comedy-drama is about an English family, The Pembertons, who leave their native, rainy Yorkshire in the UK and move to sunny Florida to live the “American dream.” The father Mal has purchased a RV Park with the plan to create a booming family-run business. Unfortunately, Mal and his family quickly realise that they are not going to be living the “dream” that they had originally imagined.

Making changes from Series One, producers of “Living the Dream” have found the south of Spain the perfect location to shoot scenes for Series Two. This production is one of the most important that the province of Malaga will welcome in 2018 and is distributing a large part of its budget among companies, technicians, personnel, actors, accommodations and the many services that the Costa del Sol has to offer.

Installation of the Lake liner.

Tube connections to the river (arqueta).

Right side black tube for emptying the lake. On this tube we will install the tap to opening when cleaning the lake.

The small tube is for the water coming from the drain beneath the liner/lake.

Area where we will install the water plants. Here we had to adjust the design of the lake in order to prevent that we could see the liner.

Drainage installed under the lake to prevent the liner to rise.

Manholes on the grass bunker and fairway.

Bunker. Shape is much better, not so deep and visible from the fairway.

This right hand side area has been taken into the hole; it increases the building site in about 25% extra playing ground. Buggy path will be built in a different level to prevent confusion with the buggy path of the New Course.
