La Manga Club has teamed up with the burgeoning tour to offer the star first prize\u00a0 of a dream luxury four-night golfing holiday for a family of four at the resort to the 2016 champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupporting junior golf is an important part of our philosophy at La Manga Club and the resort has a long-term commitment to encouraging as many youngsters as possible to play the game, \u201c said Eduardo Ruiz, director of golf at La Manga Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Shires Junior Golf Tour is a fantastic initiative and we\u2019re delighted to have been given the opportunity to form this new relationship with them.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Offering an array of outstanding golf facilities, La Manga Club features three 18-hole golf courses, a nine-hole academy course and extensive practice amenities including a new Leadbetter Golf Academy \u2013 hailed by top instructor David Leadbetter as a teaching facility to rival any in the world \u2013 with tuition packages on offer to suit all ages and abilities.<\/p>\n

Available to boys and girls aged from five to 21, the 2016 Shires Junior Golf Tour will feature a series of 12 qualifying tournaments this spring and summer at a number of different venues in Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire.<\/p>\n

A field of around 100 youngsters will then gather for the grand final at The Leicestershire Golf Club on Sunday, October 23, to compete for the first prize of the trip to La Manga Club including four nights\u2019 bed and breakfast and six rounds of golf on a choice of the resort\u2019s three courses.<\/p>\n

Shires Junior Golf Tour organiser, Paul Bull, said: \u201cThe number of players joining the tour is growing with every year and and to be able to offer such an amazing first prize to the 2016 champion is testament to how far we have come in such a short space of time.<\/p>\n

\u201cLa Manga Club is one of the most famous resorts in the world. Its name is synonymous with golf and I\u2019m sure the winner will enjoy a holiday that they will remember for the rest of their lives.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Renowned as Spain\u2019s flagship resort and set in an area three times the size of Monaco, La Manga Club is regarded as Europe\u2019s premier sports and leisure destination resort, with golfing legends including Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Spain\u2019s favourite golfing son Severiano Ballesteros featuring prominently in its illustrious history.<\/p>\n

Among the many accolades it received in 2015, the resort was named \u2018Spain\u2019s Best Golf Hotel\u2019 at the 2015 World Golf Awards as well as being voted \u2018Best Golf Resort in Spain\u2019 by UK readers of Today\u2019s Golfer<\/em> magazine for the fourth year running, while its West Course was elevated among the top 100 courses in continental Europe.<\/p>\n
