Tee Times Portugal Golf: National Club Championship – Vilamoura Men’s Champion

Posted on by

Tee Times Portugal Golf: National Club Championship Solverde – Vilamoura Men’s Three-time Champion – Miramar makes history in Women’s.

15th Title in the history of the Algarves’s Vilamoura Golf Club and the 1st for the Club from Gaia in women’s. Oporto, playing at home, guaranteed the 3rd place in men’s and Quinta do Fojo the 3rd place in women’s.

The Vilamoura Golf Club, on the men’s tournament, and the Miramar Golf Club, in the female, confirmed the favoritism that was given to them in the start of the National Club Championship Solverde and imposed themselves on the finals of yesterday (Sunday the 24th August ’14).

Both the Algarve’s as well as the golfers from Gaia had won the first round of the tournament in stroke play and in the last three days also dominated in match play. Were therefore unquestionable victories, achieved in this 51st edition of the competition that the Portuguese Golf Federation (FPG) organized in Oporto Golf Club in Espinho.

In the Nini Guedes de Queiroz Cup (the women’s tournament) it was made history in the competition because Miramar had never put his name on the trophy. Miramar defeated the champions of last year, the Quinta do Peru Golf & Country Club, for an enlightening 4-1. 

In Visconde de Pereira Machado Cup (men’s), Vilamoura prevented Miramar from becoming the third club to achieve the “double” by winning an even more overwhelming 5.5-1.5. It was the 3rd consecutive title for Vilamoura and the 15th title in their history, and is just one less of the national record of 16 for Club de Golf do Estoril. 

The last round, which started with fog and the temperature a little lower but at the end with sun and a little wind, decided the other classifications of the tournament. The other results, in addition to the end are as follows:

Nini Guedes de Queiroz Cup (women’s tournament): Quinta do Fojo Golf – Golf Club of Paço do Lumiar, 3.5 – 1.5. This result dictated the 3rd place of Quinta do Fojo and the 4th place of Paço do Lumiar.

Visconde de Pereira Machado Cup (men’s): Oporto Golf Club – Quinta do Peru, 5 – 2; Lisbon Sports Club – Club de Golf do Estoril, 3 – 2; Belas Clube de Campo – Oporto B, 3 – 2; Club Golf Terceira Island – Club Golf Center, 4-1; Quinta do Peru B – Oitavos Dunes, 5-0 (by forfeit of the Oitavos team).

Tee Times Portugal Golf – Oporto Golf Club

Tee Times Portugal Golf – Oporto Golf Club – Manuel Violas round of 57

Oporto Golf Club is the oldest golf club in Portugal. It begins with a par 4 against the famous nortada, the prevailing north wind, which makes it rather difficult. The approach to the green, which is narrow and double tiered, turns this first hole into an excellent test for any player.

Although holes 4 and 11 are the most difficult ones, we consider the par-4 7th and par-3 14th to be the best that can be designed in terms of golf. The 9th and 18th, normally offer good opportunities for birdies, making a pleasant finish to a competition.

In a superb atmosphere which is possible only among the traditionally hospitable people from the North of the country, the Oporto Golf Club offers excellent facilities in its clubhouse, with a restaurant that is a general favourite of its members for eating out.

No joke: Manuel Violas made ​​a round of only 57 – A round of 57, even outside of official competition, is always a story to remember.

Former No. 1 national amateur golf scored 14 under par on his home course of Oporto. The incredible happened: Manuel Violas, with two Portuguese majors in the curriculum (Cup Portuguese Golf Federation in 2008 and 2010), obtained on Friday a round of 57 strokes, 14 under par-71, at his home club of Oporto Golf Club.

Scored 14 birdies and four pairs. Their previous best result was 64 (-8) at the National Club Championship 2010 in Mounted.

“I can not explain, it was a day when everything went well,” said Manuel Violas a +2 handicap of 26 years. “He put the ball near the flag and putt. I only had two or three biggest putts. It was the turn of my life. It happens once in a lifetime, when a person is very lucky. Lots of people will think it is not true, but I do not care.”

For the avoidance of doubt, this is the card game Manuel Violas on the last 8th August.
