Tenerife Ladies Open Golf 2010 heads to Buenavista

When the action starts on July 1 for four days of top competition the eyes of the worlds media will see a different face of Tenerife, the rugged natural beauty of the north west at Buenavista Golf.

Last years winner Felicity Johnson is expected back to defend her crown and the Birmingham player will look forward to renewing her rivalry with runner up Becky Brewerton from Wales. Felicity made a late charge after lagging behind and clinched the title at the 18th hole to finish 14 under par. The 22 year old winner was very impressed with Tenerife, just wait till the contestants get a glimpse of the Teno mountains and wild coastline that makes Buenavista such a scenic gem.

The visiting media, players and officials will be able to check out the new 5 star Buenavista Golf and Spa Hotel at the course, and the lush green walks will no doubt attract new interest from future holiday makers wanting to sample the north of Tenerife.

Let Canary Green Lead You Through The Bioclimatic Village

Sadly the British press is all too keen to highlight the down side of Tenerife but there are some exciting cutting edge projects that don’t get the praise they deserve. Just this weekend a village of 25 self sufficient bioclimatic houses was inaugurated at ITER in Granadilla. This is the first of its kind in the world and www.canarygreen.net was there to cover the event.

The project was initiated 14 years ago and attracted 397 entrants from 38 countries, since then the planning and development has taken place largely unnoticed by many visitors to this holiday island. ITER (the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energy) is best known for the towering wind turbines alongside the TF1 motorway, just past the south airport. That is just one aspect of the amazing scientific work that goes on at the 400,000 square metre site. One of the largest fields of working solar panels in the world feeds into the Tenerife grid, a water park studies ways to utilise wave power, and a wind chamber studies wind power and is also used by sports companies to explore aerodynamics.

The Canary Islands are in a unique position to experience the good and bad of weather systems so it seems only natural to build knowledge from these to benefit everyone. ITER is also home to one of the most respected seismic teams in the world, they not only monitor Mount Teide but are frequently summoned to volcanic hot spots around the globe to offer their expertise. This is no secret research base, ITER are committed to sharing their knowledge among the scientific community and also welcome visitors to their coastal base.

If you want to join a tour of ITER you can pre arrange it by calling 922391000 or go to the website www.iter.es. If you want to keep up with environmental issues around the Canary Islands keep an eye on www.canarygreen.net

Abama Golf, teed up for luxury and style

Some come for the spa and wellness centre, some for the luxury accommodation, and some for the great views out to La Gomera, but for most it’s the superb 18 hole golf course that attracts them to Abama Golf.

Designer Dave Thomas poured plenty of dedication into creating this par 72 course, sloping it down towards the small beach that serves the complex. As Abama is perched on a cliff top on the sun kissed west coast of Tenerife, it enjoys some of the most consistent sunny weather on the island, a definite advantage for the keen golfer.

Maybe that’s why the course attracts regular big tournaments, they have just staged their annual Pro Am event and on August 21 the growing Tenerife and La Gomera Circuit calls in for their latest challenge.

There has never been so much interest in golf in Tenerife, thankfully there is also a growth in websites that can keep keen players up to date with fees, conditions etc. Back at Abama, they are looking forward to a long hot summer of golfing action and are keen to see players of all abilities pit themselves against their course.
