 La Manga Club might be the setting for many a golf holiday in Spain, but for six youngsters in Yorkshire, relaxation will be far from their minds when they take to the famous fairways next month.
The junior members at Willow Valley Golf will be taking part in the Junior Team Home Nations Championship at La Manga Club between December 17th and 22nd and are preparing themselves for a battle, Today's Golfer reports.
"We might be underdogs due to our higher handicaps, but we have already defied the odds by beating some established clubs in the nationals," said Chris Nuttall, junior organiser at Willow Valley.
The tournament at La Manga Club is one of the most prestigious for the under-18 age group, with Sky Sports cameras set to be beaming the action into the homes of UK viewers.

 Having retired from the Dubai Masters, golfer Dani Masters must now view the qualifying school at La Manga Club as the last opportunity for her to get her European Tour card for next season.
A season plagued with injuries has placed her participation in next season's ladies' tour in jeopardy, but Masters is being philosophical about the prospect.
"I would be distraught if I failed, but you move on. I'm really passionate about golf but it's never been the be all and end all," she told Kent News.

 One of the great things about a resort such as La Manga Club is the manner in which all the family can enjoy the facilities on hand.
For example, families taking golf holidays in La Manga Club will find something for everyone. While parents might like to face the challenge of one of the resort's championship standard courses, their children can learn more about the game from one of the club's professionals.
However, those who feel ready to get involved in something a little more competitive - while still retaining the hallmarks of a family holiday in Spain - can do so every Thursday.

 It seems that Barack Obama could have more than a little in common with the many people who take golf holidays annually in La Manga Club.
The president-elect - who plays off 16 - teed off his current holiday with a round of golf against a number of old friends, the Telegraph reports.
However, while his leadership credentials are yet to be put to the test, it seems his mastery of the fairways has already been called into question.
Describing a recent game in which Mr Obama took part, his spokesman said "I don't think it was real pretty".

 If you are heading on holiday to Spain next year, do not be surprised to see one of golf's rising stars when you get there.
Ewan Porter, the 26-year-old from Sydney, has admitted that he cannot wait to take a break from the pressure of professional sport.
However, while golf holidays to La Manga Club could be the perfect option for the Australian, it is unlikely that holidaymakers will see him on the fairways of the resort's three world class courses.
"I don't know where I'll go but I'm looking forward to putting the clubs in the garage, locking them up and throwing away the key for a month," he told the Sydney Morning Herald.
