Oceanico Pinhal Golf Course had just re-opened after its routine summer maintenance programme. Whilst two greens were on temporaries the rest of the course was in great conditions. There were a few remarks about the slow greens but nothing which a sharp cut wouldn’t be able to rectify.
The Algarve Golf Society gathered a strong field of x20 players with a good representation of ladies for an individual stableford competition. Fresh blustery conditions prevailed throughout most of the day giving us all a respite from the recent hot weather here in the Algarve. Only five players achieved more than 30 points today – a challenging day indeed. Afterwards it was a return back to Parkys Bar for drinks and a well laid on spread of nibbles. Thanks to Dell and his team.
It was a most enjoyable day with another two members joining the Society membership. Anyone wanting to play golf in the Algarve this way please contact the Society – all are very welcome.
