Álamos Golf Course. Morgado and Álamos collect donations to charity

Álamos and Morgado are making an effort to help the community

Through June 30th, the Portimão golf courses Morgado and Álamos will be collecting food and clothes for those in need as part of a series of solidarity initiatives designed to benefit the local community.

“The Morgado and Álamos golf courses are carrying out a campaign to collect food in solidarity with the Social Canteen of the Paróquia da Nossa Senhora do Amparo de Portimão”, the NAU Hotels & Resort Group said in a statement.

From Monday to Friday, the community center’s dining hall serves roughly 80 meals to those in need, with a second dinner served each night. The organisation also gives out weekend baskets filled with necessities.

Food is being collected for the food reinforcement given daily and for the baskets, an initiative led by the Morgado and Alamos golf courses.

You may help by donating food items like milk, sausages, biscuits, bread, and more. At the same time, used clothing in good condition is being collected for the benefit of Cáritas Paroquial da Nossa Senhora do Amparo.

This institution provides support to several families in the area and is faced with a shortage of clothing, especially for men.

Donations are collected at the reception of golf courses, delivered weekly to beneficiary institutions, and distributed by these to needy families in the region.

On December 9th, the Portimão Firemen’s Charity Tournament, already in its fourth year, will be conducted as part of this programme. Typically, 100 people, both members and local players from the Algarve, take part in this tournament.

All funds raised from registrations and the prize auction will revert to the Firefighters. As in previous tournaments, the amount achieved will be used to enhance the fire brigade’s areas of intervention.

The last event of the PT Tour, won by Jamie Savage, saw Tomás Bessa winning the circuit’s Order of Merit.

The PT Tour final tournament, Optilink Tour Championship, took place at Dom Pedro Laguna, in Vilamoura, and was won by the Scottish golfer Jamie Savage, in a play-off against Vítor Lopes and Tomás Bessa.

After the 3 rounds of the Optilink Tour Championship, these 3 players were tied for first place, with an aggregate of 206 strokes (-10).

Tomás Bessa was eliminated from the play-off in the first hole after he hit his ball into a palm tree. Savage and Lopes halved the hole and went back to the tee three more times before Savage finally triumphed with a birdie and won the prize of 3,500 euros.

“There was a time on the back nine when I was up by two strokes, but then I missed a short putt and started to lose my confidence. Gladly, I was able to manage my emotions in the play-off and win”, revealed Jamie Savage, who underlined: “The weather was excellent and the event was extremely well organised”.

“Losing the play-off left a sour taste in my mouth”, said Vítor Lopes. The native of the Algarve was awarded 2,000 euros in prize money.

Tomás Bessa, who got the 1,500 euros allotted to third place in this event, remarked: “I am really glad to have won this Order of Merit. Overall, I won two tournaments and lost twice in the play-off”.

“Everything went wrong in my final round; I missed easy putts, misjudged the wind, and failed to capitalise the four-stroke lead I had from the second round”, he continued.

Portugal Golf – Portuguese Vítor Lopes equals the world record for eagles in one golf round

Palmares Golf Course. Vitor Lopes equals world record with 4 eagles in one round.

Vitor Lopes equalled world record at Palmares

There are very few golfers who have ever recorded four eagles in a single round, and Vitor Lopes will go down in history as one of them, after a remarkable golf round at Palmares. Additionally, he had one eagle that was also a hole-in-one.

The 26-year-old Portuguese golfer from Vilamoura shot 61 (-11) on the outstanding Palmares golf course, in the Algarve, his best professional golf round. Vítor Lopes made eagles on holes 6 (Par-5), 11 (Par-5), 17 (Par-3), and 18 (Par-5).

As a result, he took over the Palmares Classic international tournament, with 10,000 euros in prize money, as part of the PT Tour, which brings together 74 players in Lagos.

Speaking to PT Tour organiser José Correia about his hole-in-one on the 17th hole, the Challenge Tour player stated, “It was my second hole-in-one, but in official tournaments, as a professional golfer, it was my first and I’m really thrilled”.

Vítor Lopes, the seventh best Portuguese in the world golf ranking, showed once again that he is not intimidated by the wind.

The record for most eagles in a single round of golf is 4, according to Guinness World Records, however there are many different regional golfing circuits across the world. In comparison, 4 is the most you’ll see on the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour, or the PGA Tour of Australasia.

Palmares golf course is a popular golf holiday destination in Portugal and ranked 38th in the top 100 best European golf courses in 2022.
