On Sunday we returned from Captain John Garvey’s weekend away in Albufeira, Portugal where we spent 4 Nights and played 3 rounds of golf at Vale da Pinta, Gramacho & Silves golf courses. A great time was had by all 10 who traveled. There was some great golf played in superb but hot 30+ degree sunshine – sun screen was a must! Leader after day 1 was Darren Quinn after a great score of 32pts, however he made a fatal mistake of going on the beer with ‘Red Legs McKenna’ that night and that was the end of his challenge(see below)!
The most consistent player over the 3 rounds and winner of this years Captain’s prize was Neil Brady with an excellent score of 90 points, 2nd place went to the ever consistent Enda McHugh with 81 points and 3rd went to Michael McHugh with 79 points (hampered by a ‘mystery’ vomiting bug from day one….) , well done to all but in particular to Neil Brady who finally captured a captains prize thanks to 3 consistent rounds of 31, 30 and 29 despite having to act as ‘Mammy’ to Mark for the weekend…. Thanks to everyone for a great few days and hope to see you all back there in 2 years!!
