Forthcoming events (June & July)

Posted on by

The Chez Carlos Golf Society has fixed its summer itinerary (at least till August) and it features some of the very best courses in the Algarve and après golf.

Reserve you place now as they are limited but the good news it is easy to do so! Just go to http://www.algarve-golfsociety.com/ and scroll down the competition page and simply ‘put your name down’. You will receive an email back to confirm your registration.

This year we have the Quinta Do Lago Series starting at the award winning Laranjal golf course on Sunday 9th June for a member’s price of just €62.50. This includes 18 holes golf, lunch and for an extra €5.00 entry into the sweep to win some great prizes.  In July we repeat it again on Quinta North on Saturday 13th July and again in August on Quinta South.  They are not to be missed!

Forthcoming are two great Charity Golf Days this year supporting The Portuguese Association of Cerebral Palsy (Vale Da Pinta) and the children’s charity ‘Make a Wish’ (Boavista).  Again, register through the site to secure your name for these worthwhile causes.

Formed in 1993 the Chez Carlos Golf Society now has a membership of over 50 players and a very active mailing list of all nationalities thereby ensuring a playing field of those who love their golf.  Après golf is invariably at one of our two host venues in Vilamoura – the spiritual home of the Society ‘Chez Carlos Bar & Restaurant’ and its neighbour Dell’s ‘Parkies Bar.’ There is ample parking outside each of these on the day.

Hugo Santos and António Rosado, Portuguese National Champions 2012 and 2009, respectively, left this afternoon, a shared leadership, for the second and final round of the PGA Optilink Open, the tournament five thousand euros in prize money, the PGA of Portugal has been organizing the renewed and paradisiacal Onyria Palmares Beach & Golf Resort in Lagos, Algarve.

Both Algarvian players clearly revealed a superior rhythm game because they have been since February competing in Jamega Pro Golf Tour (British) circuit , serving the PGA Portuguese Team, and were the only pair to beat the course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., with a first round in 69 strokes, 3 below par.
“It’s great to be competing close to home, with a very good weather and a great field! I had a great day “commented Hugo Santos, 32 years old , a clear reference to the advantages of golf in the Algarve , after being two weeks in England under weather conditions much more complicated.

Hugo Santos is No. 1 on the Order of Merit “Golf Tee Times Tour Operator “ after the recent victory at Quinta do Peru PGA Open, and Tó Rosado being the second on this ranking PGA of Portugal.
