Following on the success of the previous week at the Royal it was only right to return back to tackle the breathtaking Ocean course. Situated on the very edge of the coastline with fairways running down to the beach it really is a spectacular course. Remodelling a few years ago has seen the course improve and special note must be made of the ninth hole. Crafted from nothing this new hole is a fabulous addition with its cascading water ready to trap any stray ball.
The Society was able to secure special rates enabling many to try Vale Do Lobo for the very first time – we look forward to hopefully returning later in the season.
Players eagerly set of in the sunshine and soon found the course in as good a condition as the Royal the week previous. Conditions were ideal though blustery at times. Newcomer Iewan Bounds championed through the field with a solid 32 points to take the first prize; not bad for his first time a VDL.
1st: Iewan Bounds (h/c 8) – 32pts
2nd: Ann Campbell (h/c 20) – 29pts
Nearest the Pin (17th): Uncontested
