Camiral (formerly PGA Catalunya) is still delivering rounds and stories worth telling.
Back Again — And Somehow Even Better
Some places you visit once.
Others… you keep coming back to.
Camiral falls firmly into the second category.
It’s not just the pristine fairways of the Stadium Course or the perfectly framed tee shots on the Tour Course. It’s the feeling you get standing over the ball — like something memorable is about to happen.
And when the boys return, it usually does.
The weather? A little wetter than we could have liked.
The on-course lies? Challenging as ever (as Dan discovered above)
The group? Dangerous.
Because when you put this crew on a course like Camiral, the golf is only half the story.
The "Almost" Hole-In-One
You know the shot. 160 yards, downhill, slight breeze in the face. 8 iron in hand.
It comes off the club face pure.
Starts on line.
Never leaves the flag. The cry from your playing partner behind "Not Today ...."
For a moment — a brief, glorious moment — it’s perfect.
It lands soft.
Takes a hop.
Rips straight back at the pin…
…and misses the cup by an inch.
Cue the eruption.
Half celebration. Half disbelief. 100% a story for later!
Because for that split second, everyone thought it might drop.
And from that point on, it wasn’t just a good tee shot, it was "almost his first hole-in-one.”
The Fastest Dash in Golf History
Not all moments are about precision.
Some are about urgency.
Mid-round. No warning.
A realization hits — and suddenly the next shot isn’t the priority.
The on-course bathroom has never felt further away.
A rushed wedge shot into the green.
Clubs abandoned. Pace unmatched.
A waddle sprint that would make a tour pro question their fitness.
No one asks questions.
No one needs details.
Just respect for the effort… and the recovery.
A quiet return.
A nod. A ripple of laughter.
Play resumes.
Golf, as it always does, carries on.
The Ryder Cup Energy — this time with no winner, but plenty of stories
We had to do it.
Teams picked.
Formats debated.
Pride very much on the line.
A full Ryder Cup-style match play event — complete with questionable rulings, generous gimmes, and just enough tension to make it interesting.
Back and forth all day.
Momentum swings.
Big putts. Bigger reactions.
And in the end?
A tie.
Which, depending who you ask…
was either a fair result or a complete robbery
Some might say perfect - because no one really wanted it to end.
Late night drinks & stogies — where the truth gets flexible & the stories further embellished
And then… the post-round poetry begins.
The golf is done.
The scorecards are irrelevant.
The night settles in.
Cigars lit. Drinks poured.
And the stories begin their final transformation.
Drives get longer.
Approach shots get closer.
And the photos - like the truth of the tales - get a little more blurry.
Because this is what it’s really about.
Final Word
Camiral delivered again.
World-class golf.
Unmatched vibes.
And a fresh set of stories that will only get better with time.
No trophies.
No clear winners.
Just a group of guys, a perfect few days, and a collection of moments that will be told — and retold — for years to come.
Juicy Lies.
Play for the memories.
