A short trip for us this week as the Society gathered once again under blue skies and sunshine at Salgados near Albufeira. It was yet another good turnout aided by a handful of newcomers to the Society that brought the total up to 22 players with a good representation of ladies this week.
The course was relatively quiet and were able to tee off ahead of our scheduled 12:32 slot – we were all round easily in the daylight. Given the dry spell we are experiencing here in Portugal the course looked good on arrival and played well with quick smooth greens. Winter rules were in force.
Congratulations to Aju Guest as this was her first formal golf competition and for posting 23pts. Once again we met back to a busy Parkies Bar in Vilamoura for nibbles and refreshments,
1st: John Savage (h/c23): 37pts
2nd: Pat Horkan (h/c8): 35pts (c/b 9:20pts)
