On yet another perfect sunny day for golf, the Society Saturday Stableford Competition was played at the Millennium GC, Vilamoura, with a later than normal 13:52 tee off time.
A strong field of 17 players competed, on a course that has produced some fine Stableford points scores in the past, and yet again the winner played to better than his handicap to take 1st place.
In fairness, most players considered that the course has been in better condition, with several areas of tee, fairway and greens under repair or maintenance, giving a somewhat patchy affect, however this did not make for low points scoring with 10 players scoring 33pts or better.
The front nine played tougher than the back nine, thus giving the organizers the the job of countback situations for the 2nd 3rd and 4th place prizes.
Drinks and Nibbles followed at the Clubhouse ( Chez Carlos Restaurant, Vilamoura ) with Tracey McCall and Alison Anderson presenting the prizes to the winners.
Trevor Ward ( 14 Handicap) one of the original Society members with 37pts came first , with 3 players on 36pts vying for 2nd 3rd and 4th on the back nine and back six countbacks, these went, in order to Jeff Seymour ( 6 ), Michael Dickson ( 12 ) and John Constantine ( 18 ), with the former winning the nearest the pin prize at the 15th hole.
Thanks to all our Members and Guests who played, and for the travelling golfers amongst you, hope to see you all again soon.
