golf courses, golf resorts and golf holidays

A windy day that proved to be very difficult for all players, as you may see on the scores. Anyway, it was great to see Quinta do Vale GC in such excellent conditions, regarding tees, fairways and greens, as we are referring to a new golf course that suffered some consequences of some construction mistakes during it’s 1st and 2nd year.
Most of the players used the ‘very original’ promotion for the buggies: 1 free buggy in every 50€ worth of shopping.
The winner was Barnie with 32 points and in second place Jeff with 28 points. The 9th hole was chose for the front-nine nearest-to-pin with par 3, 140mt, against the wind, where most players should use a driver, was won by Robin Prescot. Brendan won the nearest-to-pin on the back-nine on hole 16th.
Back to the clubhouse we had also the company of some members and friends that could not play and the afternoon went well around some drinks.
Two important notes: 1st a good one – Alison is back home and recovering well. 2st – And a sad one is John Star is still having health problems and still at home, being looked after by Gina. His contact number is 00351 289 314 108.
Next weekend, answering to an invitation made by Boavista GC members, Chez Carlos Golf Society has a match against them on Saturday at 11:20, ‘single match play’, followed by a presentation in their local bar. We antecipate a good social day.
See you all on Saturday.
