Oceanico Victoria Golf Course does not really get much cheaper than €80.00 which includes a buggy so realistically if we are to play this course it will be in low season period (now). Actually in July & August it drops a further €5.00. Hosting the Portuguese Masters has given it massive exposure and is on many people’s list to play if they have not done so by now, hence another reason to play here.
The course, like the weather, did not disappoint. A handful of greens had been treated as part of its summer maintenance programme. Fairways and tees were excellent and the rough, if you could find your ball, helped wreck a good score.
Individual Stableford was the format this week; a departure from the recent team games. Peter Densham was in fine form playing in his words ‘one of his lucky courses’. 21pts the first nine set him up for a game winning 38pts. Robin’s steady 15 & 16pts coasted him to second place. The remaining scores settled in and around the mid twenties. Another good day.
1st: Peter Densham (h/c 15) – 38pts
2nd: Robin Prescott (h/c 14 – 31pts
Nearest The Pin (8th): Fred Holmes
