MIGUEL ANGEL JIMENEZ Junior Circuit

In 2020 we celebrated the 10^th year of the Miguel Ángel Jiménez Circuit for Junior Golfers in Spain. As well as giving boys and girls from the age of 7 to 18, the chance to learn and enjoy the game of golf, these children will gain valuable life skills through competition, as well as respect for their fellow competitors.

In the past ten years of the Miguel Ángel Jiménez Circuit, we have organised more than 150 tournaments for over 10,000 junior golfers. The winners of each age category at every event receives great prizes from our Sponsors and accumulates points towards the Final Ranking. Those kids with the most points play at the Final Tournament.

Miguel Ángel attends as many of the qualifying tournaments as his own tournament schedule will allow and he always attends the Final Tournament,

“It has been such an exciting process watching the kids becoming so keen on golf and some have even gone on to great things within the sport.  Firstly, each year we hold a Matchplay event between Spain and Austria in a Ryder Cup format, when the best Juniors from each country compete against each other for four days.  This is great fun.”

“I am also so proud to see some of the Juniors who have been playing on our Circuit over the years, are now attending Universities in USA and have great potential in the sport.  It’s going to be fun to watch their progress in the future”.

It is a great honour that our Circuit is an Official Partner of the European Tour, however the Miguel Ángel Jiménez Circuit has many Sponsors that make it possible to grow the project each year, for which we are extremely grateful.  To find out exactly who they are, as well as more information about the Miguel Ángel Jiménez Circuit, take a look at the website.

miguel angel jimenez Golf Academy

One of my dreams as a professional golfer was realised in February 2013, when I opened the School of Golf in my name. The Miguel Angel Jimenez Golf Academy is located in Torremolinos, near Malaga, in Andalucia, Spain. I wanted to create a place where children and adults could learn to play golf at an affordable price on the Costa del Sol, and now I am very proud to say we have a superb facility.
 
The Academy consists of a 9 hole Par 3 course which I designed myself.  The highest quality grasses were used and the greens are undulating, quite fast but still enjoyable for a beginner to gain experience. For the design of the 7^th Hole I was inspired by the 12^th Hole at Augusta National, and I called this hole “Angustias”, which in Spanish means “Anguish”!
 
In addition, there is a large two tiered driving range, practice chipping and bunker areas and putting green, and the range is floodlit to give maximum opportunity for use at all times of the day. PING has installed a fitting centre and golf balls are supplied by Srixon. There are a number of Teaching Professionals and we offer lessons on an individual or group basis.  When I am in Spain I myself use the Academy to practise.
 
The construction of the Academy was concluded with the official opening of the Clubhouse in June 2014. In addition to the excellent facilities, there is a magnificent shop and locker rooms, and our visitors can enjoy the Spanish sun with a glass of wine and a variety of tapas.
