This week saw the Society take part in a Charity Golf Day organised by the All Saints Church at the Pestana Gramacho Golf Course. Format was a Betterball Stableford pairs off full handicap and included a Nearest the Pin and Straightest Drive competition. A field of 80 players took part on the day of which the Society put forward 14 names raising more than €2,000 for the Charity.
Weather on the day could not have been any better with tee off time commencing at 08:00 till 12:00. The course was in glorious condition and was set up in a way to encourage high scoring with some of the yellow tees in a very forward positions.
Gramacho has a wonderful finishing hole with the clubhouse perched close to the green and so was a great vantage spot to view from whilst enjoying the buffet lunch. A raffle and prize presentation finished a most enjoyable day of golf.
