CG Évora: champions in Vila Sol

The Golf Club of Évora promoted its 5th OM tournament in the Vila Sol golf course sponsored by the wines of Comenda Grande (Arraiolos), which provided to all participants the possibility to taste their high quality products, from wines to sparkling wine.

The great champions were Graça Carter, João Pedro Themudo and José Manuel Gago Leiria.

The tournament, a shot gun with wind and hot weather, brought together about 80 golfers among club members and guests.

Among the members, João Pedro Themudo won with 36 points, followed by Vasco Franco de Sousa also with 36.

In net José Gago Leiria won with 41 points, followed by Manuel Bagulho with 40.

The ladies event was won by Graça Carter with 42 points, followed by Amélia Gabin with 36.

The gross champion was João Pedro Themudo with 31 points, followed by João Teixeira Almeida with 27.

The prizes were distributed during the lively social lunch at the Vila Sol restaurant, which ended with a fabulous tombola (everyone received gifts…) and a unique encounter of Alentejo’s songs, among the members of CG Évora.

The club’s Order of Merit has three more golf tournaments to go until the end of the year.

Portugal Golf – Fauna: golf courses are safety

San Lorenzo Golf Course. Portugal Golf, Fauna: Golf Courses Are Safety.

Fauna: golf courses are safety

Golf courses represent safety for all animals, whether they are “residents” or just passing through during migratory seasons.

There are golf courses that are authentic “reserves” due to the diversity and quantity of animals that visitors may observe while playing.

In the lakes of the S. Lourenço golf course (Quinta do Lago), next to the Ria Formosa, hundreds of birds can be seen all year round, and during the migration period, thousands of them stop off there, like at an airport… (the observation posts around the course are always very popular).

At Castro Marim Golf the diversity of birds is abundant, but the majority are rabbits and partridges, as on many other courses in the Algarve.

At this time of year, the golf courses with many fig trees (Palmares, Vale do Lobo, Vale da Pinta, Benamor, Quinta da Ria, among others) are a permanent habitat for birds.

Morgado do Reguengo e Álamos (Monchique) is the preferred resort for storks, the dominant species, but there are also frequent encounters with rabbits and partridges. Yesterday afternoon, around the lake bordering Holes 1 and 2 at Álamos, hundreds of storks sought the cool waters.

On all the golf courses, the only species that is not well received, but unfortunately “visits” many, is the wild boar, because of the huge damage it causes.
