13 holes with Rafasays Carlota Ciganda in her block. via ten-golf.es Translated by Ericka Domenzáin Today I made one of the dreams of my dreams come true. Yes, exactly, one of those things that you have outlined in your imagination and you want to do at some point before you die. I assure you that I am not exaggerating one bit. Indeed, I met Rafa Nadal, my idol, and Ive played with him. But not a normal game, a dimpling and nothing else, no. It was a complete game of fourball, teaming him and me against José María Olazábal and Jesus Legarrea. I think Im still a little nervous with excitement. What a blast! We played thirteen holes and we lost by one at the end.Arhgghh !! What rage. We have gone the whole match one up, one down and tie, was very even. In fact, we have reached the 18th hole and, I must say, it was thanks to Rafa. We were one down and he made an amazing approach on the 17th hole . He has left us with open mouth and I think he couldn´t believe it himself. We won that hole, but we lost in the end. A shame, but it was a great afternoon. Very funny. By the way, we should clarify that Rafa has handicap three, but he played with 2 and we both started from yellow, very close to white. I was around the drive time all the time, iron 5. It was clear that Chema was not going to give us a lot of advantage. Rafa is exactly as I expected. What a crack man. I love ppl like that to succeed in sport and in life people that are so simple, close and humble. He is an example and he shows it in every gesture he makes, every word he says. A marvel. To give you an idea: we agreed to play the game in the afternoon and Rafa came at seven oclock in the morning to play before 16 holes. He said he was a month without playing and he didn´t want to get into a game with us,cold ... 16 holes to heat !!! Thats it. What a weekend to enjoy. I am delighted and very grateful to be here at this Olazábal & Nadal Invitational in Pula. Sure we had a great time. Today it was very windy and they say it will be like this tomorrow too. It will be fun.
