Second year of the Inter-Club Doubles Cup tour
The Inter-Club Doubles Cup circuit saw a strong surge in participation during its sophomore edition. Over an eight‑month span, the championship unfolded across fourteen tests spread through three provinces of the Valencian Community, drawing roughly 1,300 players who registered to compete. This growth signals a vibrant doubles community and rising enthusiasm for club‑level competition within the region.
The Costa Blanca and Valencian Community Golf Courses Association, the organizers of the tournament, launched the circuit in 2021 as a thank you to all members and subscribers of the participating clubs for their support during the COVID‑19 period. Since its inception, participation has climbed by more than half, underscoring the circuit’s appeal to players across the area and its resilience in the face of changing times.
