MALAGA, SPAIN, April 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) The Volvo World Match Play Championship returns to the Costa del Sol next month, with many top golfers set to take part.

Held at the Finca Cortesin golf course in Casares, the tournament will take place from Thursday May 17th to Sunday May 20th and should see many golf fans making the short trip down the coast from Malaga.

An elite field of 24 players is set to gather for the competition, with defending champion Ian Poulter going up against the likes of 2011 British Open champion Darren Clarke and world number six Martin Kaymer.

Kaymer, who lost to Luke Donald in the semi-finals of last year's tournament, recently described Finca Cortesin as "an amazing venue" for an unmissable event.

The German player said: "With it being a limited-field match play event, it certainly stands out on my schedule as being a very special week which I look forward to very much."

Other players who have been confirmed for the tournament include Spanish stars Alvaro Quiros and Rafael Cabrera-Bello.

Adult day tickets are priced at EUR20 (GBP16.30) plus booking fee. Children aged 12 and under will be admitted free if accompanied by an adult.

Golf fans seeking places to stay in Malaga will find plenty of options at LateRooms.com, which recommends the Vincci Seleccion Posada del Patio.

Researchers find additional evidence that families that eat together may be the healthiest

2012-04-24

San Diego, CA — "Come and get it!" A phrase historically proclaiming that the communal meal is ready, is heard all too infrequently among contemporary American households, especially as children get older.

Of particular interest to public health experts is growing scientific evidence ...

"Before we can predict how mammals will respond to climate change in the future, we need to understand how they responded to ...
