On a beautiful October sunny day, with hardly any wind, the Golf Society played on the East side of the Algarve – Castro Marim Golf Course.
We all took advantage of the excellent offer on the buggies, as the course is quite Hilly/rough/bumpy, so it was just handy.
The Castro Marim course has 27 holes and we played the new 9 holes – the Grouse route – and the old backnine, now called – Atlantic route – wich ends with a good par 5, where the players can be seen from the clubhouse balcony.
Will remain for history the 1st and 2nd places, both with 33 points, Carlos Ferreira and guest Linda Dixon.
Back to the clubhouse, we welcomed our new member Jim Drover, who decided to subscribe the Society membership on that day. Jim is a long time friend of Sinclair Armet and very familiar with all of us at Chez Carlos Golf Society.
Next week we will be playing Vale da Pinta golf course, with a fantastic offer for our members and guests.

Morgado – Weekly Competition
Is Pancho Villa back in town?
Morgado Golf Course, was in excellent condition, and provided another wonderful day of golf.
It was very nice to have the company of friends, like Roy Sallis, Sinclair Armet, Jim Russell, Tom Taylor, Jim Drover, Heather Ward ,Irene Roysalles and Alan Thearle, just to mention a few.
We teed off at 13:30 with a cheerful group of players, and it seemed like that the high scoring of the previous week inspired some players for this week.
Our member Chris Norman, maybe being inspired by his new lady, achieved an outstanding result of 48 stableford points. Knowing Chris, and having played golf with him for over 6 years, we rarely saw him exceeding 36 points, and that was the main reason for not hanging him at the club house. Hopefully on his return from Thailand, he will keep his inspiration, as he will be loosing 4 shots the next time he plays Chez Carlos Golf Society.
Tracey McCall, with 41 points ‘worked hard in the week’ and Carlos Ferreira, playing with is new handicap of 11 , with 38 points holding the 3rd place, were equally inspired.
Tony Sestito won the nearest-the-pin on the 17th hole measuring 145 mt.
Next week we will be playing Alamos at 09:50, again with the same price as Morgado. We would like to remind you all that the reservations made for 1 member + 1 guest are available on www.algarve-golfsociety.com at a special price. Login and Password are essential.
Benamor – Weekly Competition
The Chez Golf Society did not visit the Benamor golf course for a long time, so it was a pleasure to play once again that beautiful golf course down the east.
The features of the Benamor Golf Course are ideal for a social/friendly game, offering an opportunity for a good score to all levels of players, and this was reflected on the majority of the scores that day.
Curiously there were the 2 best scores on the last formation, both with 43 points, Allan Russel, a guest playing of 6 handicap, who was playing the course for the first time, and did one under par ‘gross’. The other player Carlos Ferreira, playing of 13 handicap, also had an extraordinary round, with 6 above par ‘gross’, and that without any birdies.
The climax of the game was on the 18 hole, where Allan made another birdie – 4 points – to match up with Carlos and winning the first place in the countback of the last 3 holes. The 3rd place going to Jeff Seymour with 37 points, who also won the nearest-to-pin, played on the hole 12, par 3 with 145 mtrs.
Back to the Club House where all missed shots where drowned on good pints and usuall chips and curry sauce.
