Portugal Golf – 2023 Absolute National Championship of Portugal

Posted on by

Absolute National Championship of Portuguese golf. The Absolute National Championship of Portuguese golf has reached an end

The Portuguese Absolute National Championship crowned some of the best Portuguese golfers

Sofia Sá (+3) and Ricardo Santos (-12), on July 22, won 18,200 euros from the Portuguese Golf Federation (FPG) for winning the KIA Absolute National Championship at the Quinta do Peru Golf & Country Club in Sesimbra, near Lisbon.

Sara Melo (+33) and Tiago Mendes (+29) have both won their respective 2nd Category national championships, while Pedro Cruz Silva (-8) has won the amateur national title.

The KIA Absolute National Championship, established in 2020, brings together professionals and amateurs, female and male, simultaneously awarding the main national amateur and professional titles.

In 2020 there were still two National Championships, the FPG and the PGA Portugal, but in 2021 the FPG took over all the events and created a perfect symbiosis of two events that until then had existed separately: the Absolute National Championship (for amateurs) of the FPG, and the PGA National Championship of Portugal.

Sofia Sá is now a double absolute national champion. She is the only player to have done this since the event started including amateurs and professionals.

Ricardo Santos is a different story. For the first time since the event started bringing together professionals and amateurs, the player from Vilamoura won the title of absolute national champion.

As for Pedro Silva, he won his second title in a row as the amateur national winner.

Portugal Golf Holidays – The outstanding history of Hotel Palácio Estoril

Hotel Palácio Estoril. The incredible history of Palácio Estoril hotel

Palácio Estoril has a very rich past

The Hotel Palácio Estoril is a five-star hotel in the centre of Estoril, only 20 minutes from Lisbon‘s city centre, and features stunning gardens and breathtaking views of Estoril and Cascais Bay.

Since its opening in 1930, travellers from all over the globe have stayed at Hotel Palácio. It provides all the comforts of home in an atmosphere of timeless luxury, and its famous hospitality sets it apart.

The Hotel Palácio Estoril of today still has many features from the time it opened in the 1930s. The Hotel’s opulent classic décor has been updated over time without deviating from its original framework of timelessness, luxury, and sophistication, creating an exclusive ambience that is felt by all who enter.

During the Second World War and due to Portugal’s neutrality, some royal families fled to Estoril, known at the time as the “Kings Coast”. British and German spies met in the Hotel Palácio, where numerous members of the European royalty stayed.

In 1969, “On Her Majesty’s Service”, a classic James Bond film, was set at the Hotel.

Palácio Estoril was the second home of the Spanish, Italian, French, Bulgarian, and Romanian royal houses, and their descendants still visit the hotel. In February 2011, the Royal Gallery was created at the hotel, displaying photos of European nobles who have visited the place.

Today, Palácio Estoril continues to be a reference and has received many awards, like the Condé Nast Award 2023 for the best place for meetings and conferences, and the 2023 Merit Award from the Portuguese journal Expresso.

Enjoy your stay and let the hotel’s colourful and illustrious past inspire you.

Near the hotel, you’ll find excellent golf courses, like Oitavos Dunes, Quinta da Marinha and Golf Estoril.
