Golf is a great way to relax, improve your fitness and see some stunning scenery. Although at times it can be very frustrating it can also be very rewarding. A quote from

Winston Churchill who stated “Golf is a silly game played with implements ill-suited for the

purpose.” He obviously did not enjoy or understand the game.

It can be played by young and old, male or female and is a great way to socialize, do business and meet new friends. The social side plays

a very active and important part in the concept of golf.

Etiquette is also very important. They say a person who plays the best shots, knows how to carry

themselves well and behave on the golf course; will succeed as a good golfer.

Basically in theory, the game of golf is easy; you just have to get the little ball from the tee to the hole you are playing in as few shots as possible. So why does it seem to be the hardest game in the world to play? Because it challenges your hand to eye co-ordination, dares you to go for the challenging almost impossible shot, go over

Golf, just a game

or heaven?

water or hit straight for the green (avoiding the ruff), and makes you choose the right club(s) to use to get you out of trouble, that you alone put yourself in!Most golf courses normally consist of 18 holes, sometimes 9. Plus the all important 19th where you can discuss the day and your game, together with the trials and tribulations. There are many golf courses in the area; Murcia 16, Alicante 18, Almeria 10. Some designed by the likes of Dave Thomas and the great Jack Nicklaus.

The various courses in the area are more than suited to all levels of players; young to old, beginners to experienced and the pro-am tours. The Resorts include excellent clubhouses, restaurants, bars, hairdressers, banks, golf shops and some providing star hotels and Spa’s as well as wellness centers. The accommodation choice is of the highest quality ranking from villas, penthouses, apartments and golf studios mostly furnished to a very high standard. Most of these golf resorts offer packages that more than cater for all your needs making your stay as pleasurable as possible.

The region now has many new infrastructures including new motorway links plus a new high speed train coming soon

to the area. This alone proves the region is more than ready for a great golf experience and has enough quality accommodation to fit the demand.

Although we are all hit by the current financial crisis, the popularity of golf does not seem to be waning. This region does offer some great golf packages and is still cheaper than the Costa del Sol and the Algarve. The courses in Murcia are more than a match which the pro-am tour will more than verify as once upon a time they would have had to go long haul for good seasonal golf. The European tours now have excellent facilities on their door step.

So come and experience the enjoyment, relaxation, fitness and social side of playing GOLF, you won’t be disappointed!

10 Town & Country

The desire to acquire possessions this month is very strong. You’re probably going to have to keep an eye out for impulse buys, but there’s no harm in spending on some luxury items within your means. You might have great ideas about how to make money, but watch for spending. You’re busy with errands and studying before life settles down and domestic matters come into strong focus.

It’s an exceptionally self-expressive and exhilarating month for you. You are filled with energy, initiative, and vitality, and you have the powers of attraction on your side to boot. Reflection and rest in the past months begins to pay off, and you feel more confident going after what you want. Personal hobbies and romance are especially fulfilling.

All eyes are on you and your ability to persuade, enchant, and delight others returns with gusto. Nevertheless, energy and vitality might sometimes be lacking, as you require more rest and time for reflection. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes, and you might find yourself re-evaluating important parts of your life. Budgeting and handling your finances more effectively is in order for the coming months.

Your social calendar is busy this month. Networking, spending time with friends, and group activities bring much stimulation. You might be enjoying an increase in business income, and you have many plans for future projects now. Conflict with a significant other might set the stage for change.

There’s a spirit of competitiveness in your work which can be quite invigorating and pleasant. Your ambitions are stimulated, and you easily find motivation to accomplish exactly what you set out to do. You might be recognized for your personal magnetism, as well as the creative way you express your ideas. This is a strong period for making connections, particularly professional ones.

Even though you have been taking life rather seriously recently, you’re bound to surprise a few people with a more playful and spirited attitude. While professional matters remain a strong focus, you’re very willing to put your business manner aside outside of the office. With the desire for adventure you might make more exotic travel plans that you normally would.

Intensity of feeling and an adventurous spirit are themes and you are not accepting things at face value, particularly when it comes to close personal relationships. Superficial interactions fail to satisfy you, and the urge to get to the bottom of matters is strong. Watch for suspiciousness. While there is much to discover you might be reading too much into the situation. A desire for experiences that transcend the ordinary dominates.

A close relationship heats up this month. Whether it is your partner who is initiating exciting changes, or it’s you who is looking for more spice, this summer brings a more impassioned approach to relating. It’s a great period for enhancing or attracting love. Financial matters that you have been avoiding demand urgent attention.

Your personal plans are not a big priority these days as you are far too busy tending to others’ needs and demands. Fortunately, most of these activities are enjoyable. Your charisma skyrockets on the job, and some friendly competition keeps work matters stimulating. The desire for travel and learning is strong, as well as personal recognition and positive feedback.

This is a brilliant time for personal magnetism. Your love life speeds up, and creativity soars. Leisure activities figure strongly, but you are also very concerned with getting the job done. Re-organizing and tending to important paper work eases your mind so that you can enjoy hobbies and entertainment without guilt.

A lot of your energy is poured into domestic matters but you nevertheless find time for fun and games. You need outlets for your creative impulses, and you are seeking appreciation. Repairs, redecorating, and home improvement activities are favored. You not only have an eye for style, you have the energy to make changes.

Creative self-expression is strong and any problems expressing yourself disappear. The urge to reach out and communicate with others is powerful now, and might even be profitable! At the very least, new friendships or the strengthening of ties with acquaintances are likely this month. There is a flurry of professional activity that demands your attention.

World’s 1st Wooden Supercar

And with a top speed of a staggering 240mph, it will leave the Porsche or even the brand new Lamborghini Revanton trailing in its wake. The entire car, which is made from a combination of maple, plywood and MDF, weighs just 1,134kg - some 240kg less than the super lightweight Porsche. The eco-friendly two seater, which is fitted with a six-speed, manual gearbox, can sprint from 0 to 60mph in just over three seconds. But despite its awesome power, designers say the stylish petrol driven car will still be able to do up to 20mpg.Designer Joe Harmon, who is head of the project, said: “Wood is a truly amazing material to work with. “It has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminium or steel, and it possesses a versatility that makes many different types of construction techniques possible.“The look, feel, and smell of a natural material like wood is not seen elsewhere and cannot be faked,

and the satisfaction involved in making something from a piece of wood is awesome.“This is a supercar designed to push boundaries and prove the potential of wood as a material.”The car is due to hit the road later this

year. The design company, Joe Harmon Design, has not yet decided on a price for the supercar.And according to 27-year-old Joe, it might not be long before Formula One star Lewis Hamilton is behind the wheel of a wooden car. He said: “An F1 car could definitely be made from wood.“Some extremely creative engineering would have to go into it to overcome the strength-to-weight and mouldability benefits of carbon fibre, but it’s definitely possible.“Getting permission to race it would probably be a bigger challenge than engineering it. But it would be fun to try.” Drivers are kept safe by a roll cage which also stiffens the chassis and defines the rear profile of the car.

See production photographs and videos at www. carsupermarket.es

The world’s first wooden supercar has been unveiled - and it’s faster than a Porsche or a Lamborghini. The ‘Splinter’ car can turn out a whopping 700bhp from its twin supercharged, 4.6litre V8 engine - almost 300bhp more than a Porsche 911.

Estás recuperando el tiempo perdido. Mientras que tu vida amorosa se ha visto complicada, últimamente los demás no te han valorado tanto y ahora estás en posición de presumir. Estás hecho un imán y el mundo está apreciando tu estilo único y sencillo. Te llegarán regalos y tus amigos estarán felices. Es tiempo de revisar tus finanzas, sobre todo ahora que te llega un mes con bastantes gastos.

Aunque la gente se está fijando en ti, hay muchísimo ajetreo detrás del telón. Puede que haya una aventura amorosa privada este mes. Ahora te vendrá el apoyo para tu carrera y una nueva visión de cómo deberás encarrilar tu vida profesional. Tu carisma está muy alto actualmente, pero intenta evitar aquellas situaciones que te conviertan en objeto de marujeo.

Tienes energía de sobra para repartir entre amistadas, proyectos en grupo y objetivos. Todo este mes figurarán tu gracia y creatividad personal en ámbitos de conjunto. Es probable que los Géminis solteros tropezaréis con una pareja a través de amigos o asociaciones. Los que ya estéis emparejados encontraréis mucha alegría y comprensión con vuestra pareja. Una asociación de empresa es una fuerte posibilidad, y un viaje corporativo será bastante gratificante.

Desde el punto de vista profesional, estás gozando de estar en una cima vigorizante y creativa. Tu atractivo sobresale este mes, y es posible que los solteros encontréis a alguien especial a través de un acontecimiento laboral. Los que estéis buscando trabajo verán que éste es un buen mes para que tomen nota positiva de ti.

Las relaciones serán deliciosamente complicadas para ti este mes. Te concentras más en las actividades profesionales, aunque todavía tendrás tiempo para unas aventuras excitantes que rompen la monotonía. Es un buen mes para la comunicación creativa, tanto si se trata de asuntos de promoción, la escritura creativa o simplemente conectar con los demás de una forma personal y afable. Evitar los líos financieros también es muy importante en el mes de mayo.

Este mes figura la creatividad financiera. Estás en una posición de inventarte formas únicas y potentes de aumentar tus ingresos. Asuntos laborales te presentarán pequeñas complicaciones y el tener que dedicarles más tiempo. Entras en un periodo donde escoger lo que quieres profesionalmente se te dará muy fácil.

Esto es un momento casi idílico para atraer o mejorar una relación romántica. Tu principal enfoque está en tener una pareja, y de momento apartar tu agenda personal. Momentos picantes y estimulantes están en la carta para ti. A nivel romántico, las posibilidades de estar enamoradísimo son grandes. Sin embargo, deberás vigilar que tus expectativas sean razonables o te encontrarás pasando por alto los hechos.

Tienes una energía maravillosa para asuntos de salud y trabajo. Tu atractiva personalidad en la oficina supondrá que tomen en cuenta tu creatividad u oportunidades para socializar a través de vínculos profesionales. Puede que este mes las negociaciones o conversaciones con un socio se vuelvan a dar, aunque quizás con un grado de frustración.

Te espera un mes divertido, juguetón y estimulante. Mayo te trae una abundancia de oportunidades para disfrutar de los pasatiempos, el ocio y lo romántico. Tu carisma es natural, y cae sobre un público que te adora. Últimamente hay mucho discurso y ajetreo en los negocios y este mes los reanudarás: quizás desempeñando tareas que dabas por terminadas.

Tu vida doméstica y familiar está animada y con valor. Estás muy solicitado y mas que dispuesto en ayudar un amigo necesitado. Son muchas las ideas que te vienen en cuanto a proyectos rentables y necesitarás tomar tu tiempo para asesorar el grado de realismo de cada uno antes de actuar. Los capricornios solteros encontrarán oportunidades románticas cerca del ambiente doméstico.

Destacan el enfoque en la familia y las comunicaciones. Conversaciones con parientes se reanudan aunque deberás tener cuidado en cuanto a expresarte con claridad, dado que es probable que haya malentendidos. Este mes, por lo general, tus destrezas comunicativas son magníficas, atrayéndote más de un admirador. También destaca lo romántico y comunicaciones creativas.

Es probable que extiendas tus actividades profesionales y asociaciones empresariales. Te dará la impresión de que las oportunidades laborales serán completamente inesperadas y pueden provenir de viejos vínculos. La compra compulsiva es algo real este mes. Una asociación requiere tu atención: repasando recientes conversaciones puede ser pesado aunque, eso sí, necesario par aclarar las confusiones.

Slow Cooking

Celebrity chefs have also begun to extol the virtues of slow cooking at ultra-low temperatures to create meltingly tender results. However while chefs are able to use high-tech equipment that reduces temperatures most of us in the real world can replicate these low temperatures by using a slow cooker.

With the increased use of slow cooking comes those food stuffs particularly suited to it, such as cuts of meat previously deemed to be slightly “old fashioned” like shins, hocks, necks and brisket, to name but a few. Slow cooking turns these undervalued and underused cuts into beautiful tender pieces of meat. These cuts are much more affordable than the ever popular cuts like rump, fillet and sirloin.

Slow cookers are also very energy efficient; again allowing you to save money, plus they cook in an environmentally responsible way. Some slow cooking methods can save up to 5 times the energy of stove-top cooking since heat is retained rather than being lost to the air, and that has to be a good thing for the planet. Most slow cookers use as little energy as a domestic light bulb. From a practical point of view this also makes cooking more pleasant as the kitchen doesn´t steam up and get as hot as it would during conventional cooking. Slow-cooked foods such as stews, casseroles and soups are popular during the winter months but the advantage of a cooler kitchen makes slow cooking in the summer just as appealing. Slow cooking suits the needs of many of us who have little time; it reflects popular trends in the restaurant industry, as well as supporting farmers and making a small contribution to the environment. But, most importantly, slow-cooked food tastes great! Long, gentle cooking allows food to develop flavour in a different way to rapid cooking. It coaxes out flavours that are slower to develop and encourages the flavours of individual ingredients to marry together and blend in a unique way.Slow cooking achieves three main things - it tenderises (the different proteins in meat are affected by heat at quite low temperatures, far below the heat of a normal roasting oven), it flavours and it kills harmful bacteria. When meat in particular is cooked for a long time at a low temperature, the tough protein, collagen, which holds the muscle fibres together slowly disintegrates and gelatine that is produces dissolves into any liquid added which helps to make a rich gravy.

Making a welcome return to the kitchen

SLOW COOKING IS BACK!

It´s retro image is being replaced by one of practicality and simplicity in a demanding world where we are all working harder, but wanting to relax and play hard too.

Slow cooking allows for both - while the food cooks people are out getting on with their lives and it´s ready and waiting to be served to guests or family on their return.

Page 25: Town and Country Magazine June 2009

Although this article mainly mentions cuts of meat, you can also use your slow cooker to cook fish, pasta, rice, cakes, bread, chutneys, jams and sauces.

See this month’s recipes for a slow cooked pasta dish and a mouthwatering cake recipe.

Wild Mushroom Open Lasagne100g (3½oz) chilled butter, cubed, plus extra for greasing750g (1lb 10oz) mixed wild mushrooms, such as morels, ceps and shiitake, wiped and cut into large wedges or thick slices2 tbsp olive oilSea salt and freshly ground black pepper3 tbsp dry white wine1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed16 sheets fresh or dried lasagne200ml (7fl oz) créme fraîche2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley50g (2oz) freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra to serve

Preparation time: 20 minutesCooking Time: 4 hoursServes 4

While you could certainly fry these ingredients togther quickly and create a very tasty dish, slow cooking them encourages the mushrooms to gradually absorb the flavours of the other ingredients, giving them greater intensity and making them utterly more-ish!

Butter the inside of the slow cooker dish. Place the mushrooms in the dish, add half of the but-ter, olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, the wine and garlic and mix well. Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours or until softened.About 30 minutes before you wish to eat, bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil over a high heat. Place a clean tea towel onto a clean surface. Drop each lasagne sheet into the water for 1 minute or according to the packet instructions, then remove with a slotted spoon and place onto the prepared tea towel. Repeat with the other sheets, placing them in a single layer on to the tea towel and interleaving them with more tea towels as required so that the lasagne sheets do not touch each other.

Place the créme fraîche and remaining butter in a small saucepan and warm over a medium heat until the butter has melted, then whisk the mixture until combined. Season the mush-rooms and add the parsley.Preheat the grill to it´s highest setting. Place a sheet of lasagne onto a warm deep serving plate. Top with a spoonful of the mixture and a drizzle of the créme fraîche sauce. Repeat three times fin-ishing with the sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and cook under the grill for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Keep warm while you repeat with the other plates.

Blueberry & Lime Loaf CakeButter a non-stick 500g (1lb) loaf tin and line the base with parchment paper. Place an upturned saucer or trivet into the slow cooker dish and pour enough cold water around it just to cover the top (about 250ml/9fl oz).

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Slowly add the eggs, beating well between each addition. Fold in the flour, almonds and baking powder, then slowly stir in the milk and the lime zest.

Place enough blueberries in the base of the tin to just cover the bottom. Fold the remain-der into the sponge mixture, then spoon the sponge into the tin and level the surface with the back of a spoon.

Place the tin in the slow cooker on top of the saucer or trivet and cover with the lid. Cook on high for 3-3½ hours or until risen and spongy to touch.

Remove the tin from the slow cooker and leave to stand for a minute or so before turning out. Run a sharp knife around the sponge before inverting and leaving to cool com-pletely on a wire rack. Using a serrated knife, cut into thick slices and serve with lashings of cream.

Preparation time: 10 minutesCooking Time: 3-3½ hoursServes 4

This simple cake is fabulously light and full of flavour, and it also looks great. Blueberries work brilliantly with the lime but raspberries, blackberries and loganberries also work well too.
