A wonderful day at Pinhal Golf Course, 15 players
Nearest to the pin front nine and back nine, first second and third place
We had very good deal – 36 Euros with buggy included
Mike Wareham, who is a long term member, played his last game ending his 4 week holiday in paradise. We also had new guests, playing for the first time in Gary, Melvyn and Sylvia King who said they will be back again at the the next chance possible.
Concerning the golf course condition, the tees and the fairways were in good conditions, but for most of the greens we usually find them in much better state ou conditions.
Due to that reason or not, the scores were real poor for the stableford competition – full handicap. as the winner Frank Brazier (guest) grab the money for 1st prize with only 33 points, followed by Jeff Seymour with 32 and Melvin King (guest) with 30 points. The nearest to the pin front nine, 8th (135m) always a intimidating hole, protected a lake and a deep bunker, was won by Jeff.
On the back-nine we choose the 14th hole (100m) and it was won by Tracy Mcall.
Anyway the beer was nice and cold and a few chips with the famous curry sauce served by Filipe at Chez Carlos Restaurant went very well.
Next weekend, September 5th, most members are involved in a 3 day competition in the Morgado, Álamos and Salgados courses ( ‘Nations Cup’ ) organized by the Golf Algarve magazine,we wish them good luck to maintain the last year Trophy!
and so the Chez Carlos Golf Society will return next September 12th with a course still to be announced.
