A selection of twelve players took on the infamous Vale do Lobo Ocean course today. A quick survey indicated the majority had never played it before as it was simply too expensive when they had wished to play. The Society accessed the twilight rate but at a far favourable time than the normal public. We were assured to get round easily in the daylight. All enjoyed it and views are arguably better than its sister course the Royal. It was in fair condition taking into consideration the recent rains here in the Algarve.
Jim Kearney commented ‘I have never played here before. Now I can tick this one off. A wonderful layout’. Great performance from frequent attender Rod Jones.
