What was supposed to be a pleasure trip has turned into a nightmare for fifty people travelling on an Imserso coach on the road from Sant Llorenç to Son Servera on Mallorca in the Balearic Islands this Monday morning (11 March) More than twenty passengers were injured - one very seriously five seriously and seventeen slightly - after the vehicle left the road and fell from a height of two metres The government-subsidised Imserso scheme offers affordable holidays for retired people in Spain the accident happened at around 10am at kilometre 5 of the road The bus was carrying around 50 people and most of them - including the driver - escaped unhurt despite the seriousness of the accident Guardia Civil officers confirmed that the coach driver tested negative for alcohol and drugs and an investigation has been opened to find out the circumstances of the accident was transferred from the scene by air mabulance to the Son Espases hospital in Palma five to Son Llàtzer hospital and two to Muro hospital Fire and rescue crews from the Manacor and Artà stations also attended to the injured Local Police from Son Servera and Sant Llorenç as well as professionals from the Official College of Psychology of the Balearic Islands Pep Guardiola at Pula Golf and Son Servera Golf Club the ‘Battle of the Stars’ at Pula Golf and Son Servera Golf Club saw household names tee off in support of the fight against ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) won by Spanish musician David Otero and his team was the latest chapter in a rich history of star-studded charity events at Pula Golf one of Mallorca’s most popular venues and a nominee for seven World Golf Awards in each of 2022 and 2023 celebrities gather to face a layout that hosted the Mallorca Classic on the DP World Tour (then the European Tour) for five consecutive years from 2003-2007 some of sport’s all-time greats have swapped football boots tennis racquets and even motorcycles for a set of irons to take on Pula’s par-72 layout – and they do not come much greater than 22-time Grand Slam tennis winner Nadal has been a regular sight at Pula Golf for a decade and owns a property just down the road and is one of the driving forces behind the venue’s annual charity events There are two dozen golf courses on the island including some of the best in the Mediterranean and Pula is the one that Nadal keeps coming back to For a man who spends so much of his life feeling the eyes of the world on his back it is easy to see why a round at Pula appeals to Nadal The course may be a stone’s throw from some of the island’s golden beaches (with the bustling capital city of Palma just an hour away by car) but it immerses golfers in a serene bubble of Mallorca countryside It is hard to imagine a more peaceful place to play – a valuable trait for the countless superstars who take up golf in their downtime reportedly playing off a handicap as low as +0.3 but it is safe to say his regular tournament co-host is even better: two-time Masters winner José María Olazábal To call Olazábal an honoured guest at Pula is an understatement The Basque hero went to work redesigning the course in 2004 leaving an indelible mark on the layout a decade after it first opened As the ultimate way to sign off on his artwork he won the Mallorca Classic at Pula in 2005 Olazábal’s design flair would play a key role in making Pula the destination it is today It is no secret that eastern Mallorca would make a Monet painting look dull by comparison and you will never tire of the vistas across the countryside from sloping hills to the endless shades of green of the native trees When sunlight catches one of Pula’s lakes at the right angle there are not many better places to knock a ball around that guestlist has included Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola An avid golfer who once joked he would swap half his trophy cabinet for a better swing Guardiola has made multiple appearances in the ‘Legends Trophy’ which has been staged at Pula on multiple occasions He heads a list of footballing greats that have graced the venue which reads almost like a who’s who of the sport: Ronald Koeman Oliver Khan and Laurent Blanc are just the tip of the iceberg From ‘70’s Liverpool forward John Toshack to iconic goalkeeper Oliver Khan football’s finest have flocked to this Mallorca layout in droves Michel Platini and Ruud Gullit have won six Ballon d’Ors between them and a round at Pula is another thing they all have in common played Pula during his tenure as manager of the Catalonia national team figures like these are used to a certain degree of hospitality locally-sourced Mediterranean food in a rustic setting S’era de Pula lives up to expectations with a selection of expertly-cooked dishes and drinks The restaurant is the place to be if you want to watch the sunset after a round while a neighbouring swimming pool and sauna tempts guests to forget about golf entirely and surrender to relaxation – if even only for a few hours Pula is especially devoted to sustainability an appealing prospect for stars as global sporting culture shifts to place more emphasis on the environment than ever before meaning it generates more energy than it uses Irrigation has been made drastically more energy-efficient by recycling water and the restaurant is supplied by a 6,000m2 ecological garden This kind of attention to detail has established Pula as a pioneer in sustainable golf You do not need to be a world-class athlete to experience Pula Golf there is good reason everyone from a titan of tennis to a treble-winning football manager takes time out of packed schedules to play 18 holes at this secluded Mallorcan gem For more information on Pula Golf, please click here.
