Vale do Lobo Royal – Saturday 11th February. Weekly Competition

The first game after the return from the trip to Lisbon saw the Society return back to Vale Do Lobo this time to take on the majestic Royal course. There was once again another good turn out with x21 players taking part under clear blue skies and sunshine.

The whole group had all teed off by 1.10pm thereby ensuring we were to finish easily within daylight accessing its twilight rate of just €55.00. Some good scores at the turn indicated that a stableford par round was a distinct possibility and this turned out to be the case with a fine performance by Robin Prescott to clinch first prize by one point with 38pts.

Two nearest the pin competitions this week though the one at the infamous 16th was slightly tongue in cheek. A few near but no one reached the green. The course was in good condition considering the dry spell we are still experiencing here in the Algarve.

After the game we chased back to Parkies Bar for nibbles and refreshments and to catch the six nation rugby match. Another good day had by all.

1st: Robin Prescott (h/cap 15): 38pts

2nd: Dave Askew (h/cap 11): 37pts

3rd: Christer Bergquist (h/cap 15): 34pts

Nearest The Pin 7th: Peter Vaughan

Nearest The Pin 16th: Uncontested
