Malaga, Marbella, Solheim Cup

We arrived in Malaga on Australian Airlines on Monday around noon, September 18th. After getting our rental car at Hertz at the airport we drove to a beach area on the Mediterranean in Malaga where we stopped for lunch. After lunch, we drove to Ona Valle Romano Hotel in Marbella, a 12 minute drive to the golf course where we'd be working for seven days. We had a view of the Mediterranean from our apartment. I marshaled on Hole 10 in the grandstands. It was a par 3, 172 meters or 188 yards . My job was to get the crowd pumped up and quiet while the girls were hitting. "Ola, Ola, and EUROPE!" were favorite chants among the Europeans and the Americans countered with, "USA, USA!" A very fun, manageable, respectful crowd. Scott worked on the tee box for Hole 10, again making sure the spectators were quiet when the girls were hitting and keeping them away from the girls as they left the tee box to the green. Of course, my favorite golfer was Carlota Ciganda from Spain. She was the star of the game. USA and Europeans ended in a tie on Sunday, 14 to 14. Unfortunately, because Europe had won the last Solheim Cup in Toledo, Ohio, it meant they got to keep the Cup until we face off again in Virginia in the USA in 2024.Read more
