Oceanico Victoria, 30th March 2013

Posted on by

We had a good turn out of players, and it was great to have Simon back with us all for a visit at Oceanico Victoria. We also welcomed two new members Nigel Axe and Ian Kitching, and a guest player Ian Guest.

Unfortunately, due to the bad rains we have been having no buggies were allowed on the course, but everyone was happy to walk. The fairways were very water logged, which made the course more challenging than normal, and despite Colin Fotheringham injurying his back on his first drive of the day, he still managed to soldier on after we gave him some painkillers and win nearest to the pin on the 13th.
Well done to Allen Wesson again for winning the competition with 36 points.

Pinheiros Altos (Corks & Olives), 23rd March 2013

Everyone turned up to play today, at Pinheiros Altos, but the unusually poor weather here in the Algarve continued and we postponed our game 24 hours to the Sunday. The Oliveiras course (original back 9) was heavily water logged making play and walking difficult as pull trolleys at times had to be kept to the path. Anyway, golfers are a hardy bunch and we were all keen to get a game in at the weekend. The Society welcomed two new players Tony Lopategui who took Nearest The Pin on the island 8th and his wife Elaine. They enjoyed their game so much and vowed to join but it was to be David Bowles’ day with some fine stroke play who posted 37pts – six points ahead of Carlos Ferreira.

It was an impromptu return back to Parkies where the ensemble had gathered joined by many other friends. After all the effort we got our game this weekend.

Salgados Golf Course, 2nd March 2013

On a very wind day 17 players joined the Chez Carlos competition at Salgados.
We welcomed Neil Woolfrey, playing off 2 and decided that the longest drive would be on the stoke 1, to give the others a chance. However, Neil hit a perfect drive to the 200M mark in the middle of the fairway & claimed the prize.
The ladies excelled throughout the day with Mary Strutt and Jane Nicolls leading the field home, and everybody seemed to have enjoyed the back 9 as the leading scores were in the early 20’s.
We also welcomed Daniella Ferreira who played her first competition with Chez Carlos.

Well done to all.
