Discover Alcanada Golf Club – Mallorca Spain

admin — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 22:40:34 +0000

Two important preconditions needed to create a first-class golf course: An intact piece of nature in an excellent location and a top golf course architect. The Alcanda Golf Club near Alcudia had both. On the one hand there is the terrain covered with olive pine and oak trees directly bordering the sea; then there is the view over the beautiful island of Alcanda with its lighthouse against the backdrop of the mountains. On the other hand, there are the legendary golf course architects, Robert Trent Jones Senior and Junior, who were appointed to design and create the 18-hole golf course. Father and son have produced a course on which every golfer should have played at least once. Typical characteristics for a Trent-Jones golf course are for example the well placed bunkers – 58 in all – positioned at the greens and fairways. Also the challenging greens with their hidden breaks and difficult but fair tee shots. The 18-hole course was opened in 2003. The players enjoy a view over the Bay of Alcudia from almost every hole; a view is at least as spectacular as the golf course itself. The Club de Golf Alcanada is the only golf course on the island directly borders on the sea. Part of the course’s logo as well as its name-giver is the lighthouse situated approximately 150m offshore on the Island Alcanda. Every golfer finds tranquility here. The path leads into a small Seitenta which seems to be completely untouched by human hands. Untamed woods lie directly behind the playing lanes. All it needs is a little patience and you can observe pheasants and many other bird species. Enjoy the seclusion, the gentle wind from the sea and the constantly recurring view over the fascinating bay. “Club de Golf de Alcanda is a gem in the northern region of the island. The proximity to the sea, the amazing design as well as the incredible location is a must for every seriously dedicated golfer.

World Water Shortage vs. Golf Course Consumption HD

***FAIR USE***
Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107

A Political Remix Video by Desiree D’Alessandro

As part of the Political Remix Video genre that postures itself as Fair-Use in accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, Desiree D’Alessandro addresses the looming environmental crisis of worldwide water shortage that is destroying the earth and leaving the poor without access to a common life-sustaining resource. With clips appropriated from scientists, politicians, news broadcastings, and popular media, D’Alessandro explores and aims to expose how corporations are maneuvering to convert this critical world resource into a profitable commodity – namely in the form of golf courses. Currently, there are over 32,000 golf courses worldwide, over 17,000 in the US, and approximately 1,137 public and private Golf Courses are located in California as amongst the leading golf course-congested states in the US. Reports from UN estimate that golf courses consume a staggering 2.5 billion gallons/9.5 billion liters of water DAILY. This remix video aims to facilitate contemplation and recognition of this global crisis via the viral media platform of YouTube.
