Vale de Choupos Golfe in Beja today honoured its member Eduardo Godinho, a lawyer from Beja better known as ‘Chapita’, who was passionate about golf and who recently passed away due to a long illness, with a tournament on the Castro Marim Resort course.
The two-round tournament, which took place yesterday in very hot weather and today with a strong wind at the start and heat at the end, brought together dozens of club members and friends of ‘Chapita’, with the course in excellent condition.
During the two-day event, the good products of the Alentejo were on show, halfway round the course: cheeses, bread and sausages from the region, and high-quality sparkling wine and wines from Vidigueira and Herdade da Mingorra.
The overall winner was Amândio Pacheco from the Algarve with 55 points.
In nett, businessman Álvaro Labella won with 73 points, followed by Paulo Jacome and Lúcia Vaz, both with 71.
The special prizes on both days went to Flávio Bravo, Amândio Pacheco and Fernando Rocha Santos.
The prizes were distributed after a lively lunch at the Fishermen’s Association restaurant in Vila Real.
