Posted on by

Seventeen players tuned up on a cold and blustery day at Oceanico Millennium Golf Club and thanks to the efforts of the course starter we were able to get the flights off earlier and back into the pub by 6.00pm The conditions certainly had an influence on the scores with only five players scoring above 30 points – Jane Nicholls, Peter Vaughan, Peter Densham, Will Cogan and David Bowles – well done to all of you.

Results:
1st – 35 Points – David Bowles (9)
2nd – 33 points – Peter Densham (16)
3rd – 32 Points – Will Cogan (10)

Closest to the pin – 6th – Richard Horsepool (11) and on the 15th – David Brennan (12) Longest drive on the 4th – David Bowles

Oceanico Milllennium, 24th November 2012

Chez Carlos Golf Society played Oceanico Millennium on Saturday, it was a winter’s day but a pleasant one nonetheless. The group was all in good spirits with a good turn-out: 20 members with quite an even number of ladies and gents. The course was in reasonable conditions except for holes 2, 6 and 7 where the greens were perhaps not in the best shape. Once again, Millennium proved to be a favourable course for the ladies as they conquered all 3 places in the podium. Deirdre Kearney celebrated a victory just before she and her husband Jim got back to Ireland the following day, so a real great way to end their break in the Algarve – we hope they had a nice journey back home and hope to see them again soon!

Afterwards, the group headed to Chez Carlos Restaurant for a warm up and some well-earned food & beverage(s).

1st – Deirdre Kearney
2nd – Gudren Henning-Loehr
3rd – Lanaia Donkin
Nearest-to-the-pin (6th hole): Peter Densham
Nearest-to-the-pin (15th hole): David Nicholls

Old Course – 1st September 2012

Hot on the heels of the success of the Summer event at Quinta Do Lago we returned back to the Old Course in Vilamoura – a favourite of many. There is a couple of weeks remaining before high season resumes and the cheaper rates disappear. Consequently we managed to raise an ensemble of 18 players for an Individual Stableford competition beneath blue skies and sunshine.

Ideal conditions once again and some great scores many of which were 30+ points. Special note must go to Chez Carlos member Derek Hughes who commented on his 45pts as being ‘the 3rd best round he has played.’ I think it was a day when it all went right for him and a hearty congratulation; occasionally they do happen. The Society will be reducing his handicap accordingly as it will be to Dean Chambers & Rob Heap.

1st: Derek Hughes (h/cap 11): 45pts
2nd: Dean Chambers (h/cap 15): 39pts (b/6: 17pts)
3rd: Rob Heap (h/cap 13): 39pts (b/6: 14pts)
