Safety First: Golf Trophy in Puntiró Rescheduled to November 16

From the green to the weather's waiting room: Golf Trophy postponed

The plan was simple: on Saturday, October 11, balls were meant to fly across the fairways of T Golf Puntiró and the clubhouse would be filled with chatter and applause after the round. Then the weather warning arrived: Aemet's weather warnings predicted heavy showers, local torrential rain and the risk that yellow could turn to orange. As a result, the organizers pulled the emergency brake and moved the tournament — out of concern for safety and enjoyment of play, as explained in the official announcement about the postponement.

Why postponing makes sense

Saturated fairways are not romantic, they are slippery. Puddles on tees, wet mats and gusty wind across the exposed 18 holes not only make play frustrating but increase the risk of accidents. And who wants to dash across the green during a thunderstorm? The decision is pragmatic: better a later, dry day than a rainy, hectic Saturday.

New date: The Golf Trophy powered by Minkner & Bonitz will now take place on Sunday, November 16. The planned start remains in the morning (shotgun at 10:00 AM), followed as usual by the award ceremony with light refreshments in the clubhouse — provided November cooperates.

What participants should know now

Good news for registered players: bookings, green fees and tee times will be automatically transferred to the new date. If you are unable to attend on November 16, you should contact palma@t-golf.club as soon as possible; the office (see T Golf Puntiró official site) will assist with rebookings or refunds. A short phone call often clears up misunderstandings faster — and the office can be reached via the usual channels.

For latecomers and visitors: check your travel plans. If you have booked accommodation or Balearia ferry tickets and schedules, look into rebooking options. A quick check of the road toward Son Sardina and a glance at the weather apps can decide whether to set off calmly or have a plan B ready.

A small consolation — and practical tips

The postponement is not a cancellation but a promise of good golf: dry, safe and with room for a beer after the round. November on Mallorca has its own charm. The light softens, temperatures are more pleasant than in high summer, and Puntiró often appears in a calm, autumnal guise that invites relaxed rounds.

The rescheduled weekend can still be put to good use: the driving range, the putting green and a few practice rounds remain possible. Those who want to explore the island will find nearby cafés, country roads with olive groves and viewpoints where the November sky can sometimes look almost picture-perfect. A short shower on Saturday often makes way for golden sunshine on Sunday.

The organizers emphasize their responsibility for players and helpers. The postponement is a pragmatic step — safety before schedule stress. We keep our fingers crossed for good weather and look forward to a fair, dry and relaxed playing day on November 16: hopefully with a few sunbeams, pleasant conversations in the clubhouse and the familiar sound of a ball cleanly hitting the green.

For questions about participation or further details, contact the T Golf Puntiró office best by email at palma@t-golf.club or by phone via the usual channels. Pack warm clothing for the evening — November on Mallorca can turn surprisingly chilly.
