Re: Sale of hotel & golf courses
I have seen on another site where it is claimed the West Course has been purchased, whilst showing photo's of a parched East course. Can someone please confirm that it is the East course which has been purchased and can look forward to being playable again soon.
Apologies if this has already been covered.
Thanks

Speaking of the UK and whisky... We just got back from the UK, paying everything on our Euro credit card, for the current 'good' ex rate. Whilst there we bought Whyte & Mackay whisky, on promo at Sainsbury's ( & ASDA I think) £16 for a whole litre!.
A surprisingly nice budget blended whisky IMO! Get it while stocks last

I wont open it..... Thanks for the heads up...
BTW I use Buy Wine, Liqueurs and Spirits | Buy Online at GrauOnline.com for booze deliveries to Europe, great prices, (even with delivery) door to door delivery with breakage guarantee.
They charge delivery in 'blocks' so you can often add bottles to stay in the same delivery charge band, reducing net price per bottle. Stuff arrives in a few days.

Re: Sale of hotel & golf courses
Anyone any idea what the time scale is before the west course is up an running again, have the greens etc been kept alive or does it all need reseeding?. Poor Harry,s year as Captain not been great....think the Club should give him another year and free subs!.

Re: Sale of hotel & golf courses
As my old Mum used to say.............."what is a pessimist?.......and then she would answer........."a pessimist is an optimist with experience" and how true of life, but in this particular instance, how true of CE and the 'system'. Ive only lived here for three years, but in that short space of time Ive heard so many promises from the townhall and the last Mayor, he was going to do this, he was going to do that.........and then.......nothing. That is separate to all the rumours, that was the people who were responsible making all the promises going, even after they had been elected, and then doing nothing. So it is hardly surprising that some CE owners/residents who have been here for 15 years or more dont expect too much when they hear that this or that is going to or should happen.
With regard to 'having the last word on every subject' the person you are referring to has owned a property in CE for many years, and does make a lot of valuable and thought provoking contributions to this site. He also points out, very fairly I think, valid points from both sides of any particular debate or issue. It is good to have such a long standing CE owner making such valuable contributions in my opinion, and if problems are pointed out such as " golf course, hoyo 19, isla canela beaches" then collectively CE residents/members are alerted to such matters and they can then be raised with the relevant authorities. We can all make better decisions if we are better informed. The more posts from such people are beneficial, no matter how many posts they make

The watering system on the course is being tested at the moment. I have seen the 16th green, 15th green and 17th tee all being watered.

Email received yesterday:
Kostka told me personally that their goal is to be ready at the beginning of next year, using laying sod for most part of the course.

Re: Sale of hotel & golf courses
I have faith in the IC guys, but turfing a golf course would be a huge undertaking, overseeding is the common practice. Grass is of course a tough plant and the CE fairways need management, proper tlc. It'll certainly be interesting.

Re: Sale of hotel & golf courses
Esuri West is a very long course, I doubt there would be enough turf in all of Andalusia to turf it all. Perhaps just the “T’s” to be turfed. Watering stopped on the fairways over 2 months ago but that is not all bad. With the exceptional summer there will have been no growth and I doubt much weed will have got in. Oceans of water proper feed & weed scarify and tine and they will come back. The greens have not had water for about 6 weeks so they are a different problem I would think they will need re-building from scratch also the bunkers. Good news about the clubhouse bar and “cafe”. The first positive indication that they are included in the deal and Thebussem running it is good news the food we have had there is not half bad.
