Vale da Pinta – Weekly Competition

Another summer day in the Algarve!
We have to thank Pestana’s management for the excellent offer made to Chez Carlos Golf Society through Tee Times Golf Agency, at Pestana Vale da Pinta.
The course was in excellent condition, apart from one or two wet bunkers. It was very pleasant to see our member Robin Prescott, who brought 3 friends along with him, that enabled not just the usual individual stableford but also a joint team score 4 ball against 4 ball for the drinks. Coincidentally we finished with a draw both teams with 138 points, leading to some comments such as putt failures of 20 cm, etc. etc.
On individual scoring, we had in 1st place the guest, William McGivern with 41 points, in 2nd place Jeff Seymour with 38 points, who also won the nearest-to-pin on the 5th hole, and in 3rd place without a prize, Sinclair Armett and Robin Prescott, both with 35 points.
Back at the clubhouse, the usual chips with curry sauce and some pints made our day exceptional, although we regret the absence of Jeff Seymour, who had gone support his partner and one of our members, Alison in Faro hospital, who we all wish a speedy recovery.
Next week there is another good offer for the Golf Society, this time at Quinta do Vale GC, the Ballesteros’ designed course, on Saturday, 7th November at 12:09 tee off, members 35€ and guests 45€.
Hope to see you all there.
