With a fine selection of golf courses in the area, for golfers attending the festival it could be an opportunity to play at least one game of golf during their holiday in Portugal.

Oceânico O’Connor Jnr. Golf Course

Portugal Golf – Chez Carlos Golf Society Tournament – A rescheduled event saw the Chez Carlos Golf Society move from Palmares Golf Course to O’Connor Jnr. Easter time always sees an influx of players looking for a game and it was no different on this occasion with many keen for a competitive game amongst friends.

Designed by Christy O’Connor Jnr., this Algarve Golf course complements the neighbouring Oceanico Faldo Course and also takes full advantage of being situated in a fertile valley. Its various water features, both lakes and watercourses that are spread throughout the entire course, demand accuracy and test from all golfers, and the rich topsoil has been skillfully landscaped and planted with mature palm trees, affording a lush, ornamental setting like an extensive oasis.

This course has tees that are generally connected to the fairways, but its greater overall distance, the water hazards and big greens provide its challenge.

An ensemble gathered together under blue skies to take on this challenge. Perfect conditions allowed for some good scoring. Fine performance by Fraser once again even with a blob on the last hole.

Results:

1st: Fraser Graham (h/cap 5): 37pts
2nd: Trevor Coleman: 35pts

Nearest The Pin:

13th: Joao Paulo
17th: Fraser Graham
