Tee Times Portugal Holidays: Ferrari Challenge – Autodrome International Algarve, Portimão – Portugal – 18th – 20th of July 2014

Since the Autodrome International Algarve opened in 2008, this facility on the western Algarve has become a firm favourite of the customers of Tee Times Portugal Holidays.

With a track of nearly 3 miles (4692 metres), involving 17 twists and turns, driving skills will certainly be on display and the competition very entertaining for this, the 4th round of the Ferrari Challenge. The packed schedule of this motor-racing event, including practice runs and qualifying races, offers for those on holiday in Portugal plenty of motor-racing fun in the sun.

The Ferrari Challenge is one of the most popular one-make series, bringing together complete track novices and those with competition experience. To avoid a one-sided contest and assure a good show, both experienced competitors and novice-racers have their own classification and title to compete for.

Along the western Algarve there are many options of excellent accommodation. Among this fine selection, the recommendations of Tee Times Tour Operator for holiday-makers include Tivoli Carvoeiro, Vila Gale Lagos, Longevity Wellness Resort Monchique and more.

For those seeking entertainment away from the race-track, the ‘Slide and Splash’ water-slide park, just outside the town of Lagoa, offers fun and excitement for all the family. As this water-slide park offers about 8 slides, several pools and a jacuzzi, the only decision to be made is which one to try first.

A pre-arranged transport-service to this water-slide park is available, with pickup points from many holiday resorts along the Algarve. Tickets for ‘Slide and Splash’ are available from the Vilamoura offices of Tee Times T. O.

For information on directions to both offices please see:

The Algarve, recognised as Europe’s Best Golf Destination of 2014 by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators, has many excellent golf courses to choose from. Among this fantastic selection of golf courses along the Algarve, Tee Times Golf Agency recommends Faldo, O’Connor Jr., Palmares, Alamos, Boavista, Gramacho, Morgado and many more.

Tee Times Spain Golf: Strokes of Gold of McIlroy (Videos) – This is how he won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth Club.

Rory McIlroy was victorious  at Wentworth by only a stroke. These were the last two with Pablo Larrazabal as a witnesse of the exception, taken from a bunker on the 18th and the birdie putt that gave him his sixth win in the Tour, twelfth in his career. Two strokes are worth a treasure.

Rory McIlroy’s victory in numbers: Accumulated more than 18 million euros in the Tour.

The European Tour each week gives us the numbers for the champion for his victory. This time is Rory McIlroy, former world number one, who has won the BMW PGA Championship, the most important circuit, that has taken place at the Wentworth Club event. These are some of those numbers:

  • It’s his sixth Tour win, in 134 events played, and the twelfth International win;
  • Total of 1,295,825 euros in the Race to Dubai;
  • Collected 1,712,191 points in the Ryder classification;
  • His first victory since he managed the HSBC Golf Championship Abu Dhabi in late 2012;
  • He becomes the first player from Northern Ireland to win the BMW PGA Championship. In 1958 was won by the last Irish, Harry Bradshaw;
  • The seven handicap strokes with which it began the competition are equivalent to the greatest comeback in the history of the League established in 2010 by Simon Khan;
  • His first victory on the European Tour in England and the first on European soil;
  • It’s win #50 of Northern Ireland in the history of the European Tour;
  • With the 791,660 euros obtained it exceeds 18 million in profits in the Tour (total of: 18,083,948 euros).

Tee Times Spain Golf: McIlroy returns to winning ways

Tee Times Spain Golf: McIlroy returns to winning ways, one and a half year later, in the cathedral of european golf. 

Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy has returned to winning ways, one and a half year later. And it has done it in the cathedral of European golf in the Wentworth Club in Surrey (England), a stroke over the Irish Shane Lowry, curiously not won the tournament a player of that island since 1958.

The week began with the breakup of the marriage commitment between two former world number one’s, golfer Rory McIlroy and tennis player Caroline Wozniacki just days after the couple sent their wedding invitations.

“I just want my head is in the field this week, concentrate on the tournament and try to do well.  I’m not going to lie. It will be very difficult.” declared the Northern Irishman at newsroom one day before beginning to play in the most important circuit event, the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

McIlroy was the week between the top places, the first three rounds with cardboards of 68, 71 and 69 strokes kept in the Top 5 of the tournament although the last 18 holes starting to seven strokes Thomas Bjorn after the great Dane gave a whole recital in the day on Saturday.

But this is golf, a sport where anything can happen as happened in the day of Sunday as McIlroy turned the classification until it remained, no more and no less than nine strokes to Bjorn.

Finally there were 66 strokes (-14) played by the champion, the best card of the day together with the Scottish Stephen Gallacher, Lowry (68) was second in solo -13, Bjorn (75) tied for third with Donald (70) with -12. Gallacher (66) and Dyson (67) closed the Top 5 with -9.

Pablo Larrazabal (71) was the best Spanish in seventh place with Stenson, Siem, Aiken and Francesco Molinari with -8 in total. With two more hits Rafa Cabrera-Bello (71) in 16th. The Swede keeps waiting for what happens across the Atlantic with Adam Scott in the Crowne Plaza Invitational, as the world title is at stake.
