Oceanico Old Course, 1st December 2012

Posted on by

Feature the Oceanico Old Course on the fixture list and it always attracts a good deal of interest especially when it is less than half the normal rate as was the case today! Consequently an ensemble gathered under glorious conditions for our individual stableford competition.

A stunning eagle 2 on the Par 4 third hole was the highlight of Peter Vaughan’s round – five points certainly helps the score along its way and secured him a solid third position. The rough was difficult trapping balls and finding them was a challenge itself. We easily got round before dark fell and enjoyed drinks and nibbles once again at Parkies. A warm welcome was extended to Sean & Junie O Conaire & Alan Wesson whom were new players to the Society.

1st: Lanaia Donkin (h/cap 5) 30pts (b/6:12)
2nd: Alan Wesson (h/cap 7) 30pts (b/6:

Oceanico Milllennium, 24th November 2012

Chez Carlos Golf Society played Oceanico Millennium on Saturday, it was a winter’s day but a pleasant one nonetheless. The group was all in good spirits with a good turn-out: 20 members with quite an even number of ladies and gents. The course was in reasonable conditions except for holes 2, 6 and 7 where the greens were perhaps not in the best shape. Once again, Millennium proved to be a favourable course for the ladies as they conquered all 3 places in the podium. Deirdre Kearney celebrated a victory just before she and her husband Jim got back to Ireland the following day, so a real great way to end their break in the Algarve – we hope they had a nice journey back home and hope to see them again soon!

Afterwards, the group headed to Chez Carlos Restaurant for a warm up and some well-earned food & beverage(s).

1st – Deirdre Kearney
2nd – Gudren Henning-Loehr
3rd – Lanaia Donkin
Nearest-to-the-pin (6th hole): Peter Densham
Nearest-to-the-pin (15th hole): David Nicholls

Oceanico Laguna, 17th November 2012

Chez Carlos Golf Society played Oceânico Laguna on Saturday, a day that threatened rain but we actually only had a small shower on the first hole, maybe because we were the lucky 13 ? 7 ladies and 6 gents.

Despite the time of year, the course was in good shape although we still had to play under the “winter rules” due to some patches on the fairways. Once again it was proven that the back nine is far more difficult than the front nine. Whilst you breeze through the front nine, as soon as you get to hole 10, a par 5, you get a glimpse of what’s ahead of you. Both par 5’s of the back nine – 10 and 15 – are quite challenging and, looking at the stroke index on the card we could say they are underrated. In between these two par 5’s sits the course’s stroke 1, hole 13, the longest par 4 with 405m.

As someone once said about Laguna, the contrasting front and back nine is what separates the boys from the men and this week was no diferent , with results proven it . Afterwards we headed to Parkys Bar at Parque das Amendoeiras for a well-deserved drink.

1st – Lanaia Donkin: 34 points
2nd – Carlos Ferreira: 28 points
