Pairs Better Ball Competition, Thursday 22nd September 2022 – Penina Championship
On Thursday 22nd September we visited the Penina Resort where we played a Pairs Better Ball competition on the Championship Course. Known as ‘The True Home of Golf in the Algarve’ and positioned in the western Algarve near to the town of Alvor, the Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course is the first 18 hole course to have been constructed in the Algarve. Set in a stunning 360 acre estate, amidst an impressive array of natural surroundings, ponds and lakes, the Penina Hotel & Golf Resort is legendary for some of the finest and most challenging golf in the world. The marquee Sir Henry Cotton Championship Course has hosted 10 Portuguese Opens and scores of other prestigious tournaments. The recent rain had had a good effect on the course and the faiwarys were quite lush and the greens receptive. Pairs Better Ball is a very popular format amongst our members and another good turnout saw 16 pairs competing for the prizes. Our winners, Wayne McCurdy & Stuart Butler, made good use of the conditions to post an excellent score of 47pts, although it was Wayne who did the damage by coming in on 12 of the 18 holes. In second place and posting a good score of 41pts were Derek Mooney & Dominic Rea, with Paul Longman & Denis Sitenko coming third with a score of 39pts. Our booby prize went to Kerian Fogarty & Jane Singleton. Nearest the pin on the par three 16th hole was Vicky Turner and nearest the pin in three on the par five 5th hole was Jamie Wheway. There was only one 2 recorded on the day, Mike Whitlock making birdie on the 180 yard par three 6th hole.
Next week, on Thursday 29th September, we are returning to the NAU Alamos course for an individual stableford competition with tee times from 12:18. For more details, please see the ‘Events’ section.
