Mosquitoes and Lightening - A different kind of airshow!

Sardinia is an exciting place to go, crystal clear warm sea, friendly people and easy access (Under 3 hours from Stansted Airport, London about £60 return on Ryanair) and lovely winter golf.

We are lucky enough to have some German friends with family there and an open invitation to visit.

As part of Italy, Sardinia has benefited from much EU development funding; familiar blue and white EU development signs appear everywhere.

These development sites are not without their amusement value. Yes, there are super new roads everywhere but there are also scented paved disabled gardens marooned miles from any road or path, new wind turbines that don’t turn because of a coal contract with China and a super golf course with no access road.

Costantino Rocca (born 4 December 1956) is the most successful male golfer that Italy has produced. After a long career on the European Tour he is now playing on the European Seniors Tour.

Rocca was born in Bergamo. He started out as a caddy, winning the Italian Caddie Championship in 1978, and turned professional in 1981 at the age of 24.

Career outline
In the 1980s, Rocca struggled to retain a European Tour card and made several trips to the Qualifying School. He began to make major strides in his career in 1990, which was the first season that he finished high enough on the Order of Merit to gain a tour card automatically. By 1993, he had risen to sixth in the Order of Merit, and his two best seasons were 1995 and 1996, when he finished fourth. He won five titles on the tour, the first of which was the 1993 Open de Lyon and the most prestigious of which was the 1996 Volvo PGA Championship. (Read the article in full)
