Will be Miguel Angel Jimenez vice captain?

Miguel Angel jimenezMiguel Angel Jimenez, the player from Malaga who turned 50 on January 5th , has revealed that he would accept to be one of the vice captains Paul McGinley at the next Ryder Cup to be held at Gleneagles but his real goal is to be the month of September as a team player .

“If I play well I think I’ll be on the team” , said in Durban, the Guadalhorce golf course designer , where he is contesting the Volvo Golf Champions after his victory in the Hong Kong Open last December. “It’s very difficult to maintain a high level , but if my game helps I can be there…” added the Malaga player whose last appearance as Ryder was at Celtic Manor in 2010.

The spanish golfer confessed, he had a conversation with McGinley . “We had a few words and he wants me to be the captain in the EurAsia Cup ‘ll do that and if I’m not on the Ryder Cup team , I’ll probably be helping in Gleneagles . But my intention is to keep working hard on my game because I’d be there with bats in their hands. ”

If so, Miguel Angel Jimenez became the oldest player to contest a Ryder Cup by beating Ted Ray than 50 years, two months and five days old was present at the inaugural 1927 edition .

McGinley , who was Vice-Captain with Jimenez in the miracle at Medinah in 2012, has said he will appoint his assistants until next May or June.

Alamos Golf Course – Tournament Review

Alamos Golf CourseAlamos Golf Course is a beautiful par 71 course, located with its sister course Morgado in its own vast area of rolling hilly countryside and fertile farmland, between Portimão and the lovely mountain town of Monchique. It is definitely one of the most enjoyable golf courses in the Algarve with several stunning views over the surrounding landscape .
The course provides a very pleasant game of golf. It offers wide, hilly greens, with a variety of sometimes very open and sometimes tight fairways to test driving ability! It is surrounded by a forest filled with the local flora, orchids and even a vineyard!

For naturalists Alamos Golf Course is a feast of birdlife to look out for and you may even find traces of one of the region’s most famous inhabitants, the wild boar.

As ever, the Chez Carlos Algarve Golf Society had a mixture of regular visitors and new faces who all professed to having had an enjoyable game. This was reflected in the scoring which was generally good.

Nearest the Pin at the very pleasant short 9th Hole was Ian Humphries (12), who also finished in 2nd place in the Men’s competition with 36 Points ahead of a number of players on 33 points. The winner though, was Tracey McCall (8) with 37 Points on the day.

Best Lady was Pam Williams (26) with 31 Points.

With Del’s kitchen closed as Joao has a short holiday, we returned to Chez Carlos where Felipe again provided nibbles enjoyed by all with an accompanying drink – or 2, or 3…..
Next week, Millennium Golf Course.

Thank you Tee Times T.O.
