Salgados Golf Course, 2nd March 2013

Posted on by

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.

Millennium Competition, 9th March 2013

Posted on by

11 players turned out at Millennium, rescheduled from Morgado after heaving rains.

The competition was the start of a surprise party for Jim Kearney on his 70th birthday, and everybody was keeping away from Jim to avoid letting the cat out of the bag.

We welcomed Ulla Peura, friend of Henning and Gudrun, and she played superbly off 15 to scoop both nearest the pins & the longest drive. Well done Ulla!

The biggest surprise was still to come as neither Jim nor Deirdre knew that Siobhan had arranged for their two daughters to join in the birthday celebrations. When they appeared at the prize giving this proved to be the best prize of all.

Back to the prize giving and it was definitely Jim’s day after his lesson with Hugo Santos, he took first prize with 38 points, holding off Christer & Eve with 37 & 35 respectively.

After the prize giving we all joined Jim, Deirdre and their daughters at the Thai restaurant in Vilamoura, and a great evening was had by all.

Alamos Golf Course : Chez Carlos Golf Society Competion

17 players tee’d off on another sunny but chilly Algarve day.
Alamos golf course was in pretty good condition with the greens running true and this was reflected in the scores.
Scores were as low as 24 and as high as 41 and the four players who struggled to make the 30 points mark were rewarded with an extra shot on their handicaps, these were Jeff Williams, Colette Bourke, Tony McInerney and Chris Milford.
At the top end Alan Wesson had another amazing golf round shooting 3 under on the back 9 with 3 birdies and 6 pars – well done Alan who has racked up 3 wins in a row and will now be playing off 5.
Eve Koch and Will Cogan also produced stunning golf rounds of 39 points with Eve producing a fantastic birdie on the 12th with a 40 metre bunker shot to 1 metre.
Will came second after a count back and will be playing off 10 whilst Eve has been granted her wish and will be playing off 16.7 in future.
David Bowles started the day with 4 pars and his tee shot on the Par 3 – 3rd to 4 feet gave him closest to the pin.
Peter Verschoor hit a cracker on the 16th to get inside Alan Wesson and enjoy his bottle of wine.
On the 12th hole Deirdre Kearney showed her husband Jim what she can do with a great drive to secure the longest drive – the second lady to win the longest drive in two weeks!! – come on guys – whats that that all about?

Results:
1st – Alan Wesson 41
2nd – Will Cogan 39
3rd – Eve Koch 39
Closet to the pin on Hole 3 – David Bowles and Peter Verschoor and on the 16th
Longest drive on the 12th – Deirdre Kearney

Prize giving was held at Chez Carlos restaurant and many thanks to Fillipe and his staff for the snacks enjoyed by all

To all of those taking part in the Spanish weekend – enjoy yourselves and play well.

To those who cannot make the trip, we will be playing at Pinhal golf course on Saturday and I will advise of the format once we know how many are playing.
