It was the turn to play the format of Pinheiros (Pines) and Sobreiros (Corks) with 24 players gathering midday beneath cloudy blue skies on the first tee at Pinheiros Altos. There was an ensemble of old and new members and guests playing today many of whose handicaps were mid-teens. A special welcome to Tracey McCall for his return back to the Society and Gary Findlay whom we haven’t seen for over two years.
It was a calm three holes before the wind made itself felt as we moved into the more exposed part of the course at hole 4. Special mention must go to David Bowles’ impressive eagle at the 435mts Par 5 6th hole (Pinheiros) and Simon Turner’s birdie at the 497mts Par 5 8th hole (Sobreiros). It was once again a great day of golf and we returned once again back to Parkies Bar for post game refreshment and nibbles.Thanks once again to Dell and his team for looking after us.
