I’ve been playing the two circuits since 1994 and there has been no problem, but for some reason now they want us to play a full schedule . We used to play seven events and we kept the card. Now they want us to play more than in the U.S. , I think they are going down the wrong path , “he added .

” I’ll have to check my calendar , I tried to help in the growth of the European Tour but they made it practically impossible to play on it . Now we have to make a decision that we would never want. “

Quinta do Lago – North Course

Quinta do Lago North CourseQuinta do Lago North Golf Course – The terrain is superb and typical of the area, sandy and littered with umbrella pines trees. In the spring, the rough is covered with a blanket of wild flowers, heather and gorse. The bunkering is incomparable, both on the fairways and surrounding the greens and gives the course an advantage over many of similar quality and design. The course is an anti-clockwise loop and favours that can draw the ball.

All the famous male and female players who have experienced this course, including ‘Ryder Cup’ and ‘Curtis Cup’ team members, have been euphoric in their praise for this course, which will soon take its place among the great European layouts.
