Golfer ‘surfing’ down the fairway
Golf is a fun and relaxing sport; however, an amazing new invention could revolutionise the sport, especially amongst younger players. Introducing the new GolfBoard, a fun and speedy new way to get around the golf course!
Hailed as the most innovative creation for the golf industry since the introduction of the softspike, the new GolfBoard lets you ‘surf’ the fairways (literally) of your favourite golf course.
These state of the art electric powered boards could well replace the golf buggy as the preferred method of transport around the golf course. Golfers will feel the freedom that walking gives with the added bonus of speeding up the pace of play; Mr. Marshall will certainly be happy 😉 (more…)

IMPORTANT UPDATE (Sept 2015)…. This train service has been cancelled until further notice!
Those of you who have visited Benalmadena will be familiar with the small ‘hop on, hop off’ tourist trains which ferry passengers around the Marina and the central area of Arroyo de la Miel. Well, in the next few weeks, the company that runs these trains will be introducing a new service taking tourists and visitors to Benalmadena Pueblo, located in the hills overlooking the coast.

Expect the Irish carrier to search for further growth opportunities following the Thomas Cook announcement; hopefully with more flight options to Malaga 🙂 (more…)
