This years Pink Ladies Day will be held on Thursday 3rd September. Over one hundred ladies will play golf on Pestana Silves Golf Course in the beautiful Algarve sunshine.
This will be the 9th Pink Ladies Day and we have already raised over 47,000€ in the last eight years in aid of the Algarvian Oncology Association.
This year we have an interview with KissFm on Thursday 16th July at 15.20.
On the course: We have our helpers made up of 10 of our lovely husbands, serving us nibbles, strawberries and fizz as we play.
Prizes will be for best pairs scores, nearest to the pins, longest drives and nearest to the line. There will also be an auction and a raffle.
In our lovely Silves Clubhouse after the game the “Poor Mans Band” will entertain us. You will be able to order drinks and food at the bar whilst we gather results.

We hope you can support this fabulous charity.
Dear members.
I hope you’re all trying to stay as cool as you can in the hot spell, but at the same time still enjoying your golf.
Yesterday we played our interleague home match against Salgados, in hot conditions, we as a team all chose to take buggies, which I think was a good move on our part. I’m pleased to report a very successful result for the team. We won three of our matches, one match was halved, so we only lost one .
I would like to thank all members who played for the team yesterday, there were some really great performances, the standout has to be Wayne with an Eagle on the 12th, I was there to witness the shot which was from around 90 yards.
It was also lovely to have Fatima back for a few days looking after us in the clubhouse.
I would like to encourage members to consider playing for the team, we have three matches coming up in August and two in September, these are all open on the website.
On behalf of members, I want to us to send our very best wishes to Jimmy Cruz, Who I’m sure most of you will know comes from Venezuela, I understand that Jimmy‘s immediate family are safe, however, he is naturally concerned about his many friends, I’m sure there may be other members who may well have contacts in Venezuela and after the recent terrible tragedy, I’m sure our thoughts are with you all.
Sending my very best wishes to you all.

The President’s Event was held at the popular Casa do Avo in Guia late on Sunday afternoon, 14th
June, following the successful but windy competition the day before.
Everyone was greeted with a wide selection of welcome drinks and canapés on the outside
terrace.
Before the meal the presentations were made, including a gift to Richard Emrich for his service to
the club as President for the last 3 years as well as the prizes for the President’s Cup competition.
The evening then began in earnest with an outstanding array of starters from the buffet, followed
by a barbecue with an excellent range of meats, fish and salads all washed down with plenty of
wine.
Saturday 13 June, President’s Day 2026, dawned bright, sunny and windy - oh so very windy. The majority playing said it was the windiest and perhaps toughest conditions they had ever played in. It certainly made for a long and hard day.
However all 64 players turned up to play and were given a gift of a sharpie ball marker pen on the first tee. Rolls to order, sausage rolls, snacks, coffees and cold drinks were provided by Patricia at her hut behind the 10th green. As always this was very much appreciated by the players.
A partial shotgun start enabled a number of competitors to stay behind on the clubhouse terrace for the presentation of the Nearest the Pin prizes. These were won by:-
Today we’ve had another memorable event to celebrate Portugal Freedom Day.
Firstly, I want to send my thanks to you as members, thank you for supporting us and for making days like today, so special, and as Eddie, quite rightly, said, another fantastic atmosphere on the terrace.
Thanks also to Gary, John and Euan, and of course their other two fellow band members for entertaining us so brilliantly, isn’t it great that we have three such talented members of our club.
Thanks to our Portuguese friends for helping to organise today, and to those members who have generously contributed prizes.
For those of us that were able to enjoy today’s St George’s Day competition, once again on behalf of members, I would like to send our thanks to all of the organising team who did such a brilliant job, and to those members who kindly donated prizes, we send our thanks.
Congratulations to the winning teams, there were some tremendous scores.
We are, of course keeping our competition team, led by Eddie , busy having just completed this event, he will be shortly sending out the start sheet for Saturdays Portuguese day.
Today, we played our first interleague match against Vilamoura, they came with a very strong team and out of 10 players eight with a single figure handicaps with only two above , both of whom were off 10!.
We also learnt that most of them played Silves yesterday to get them self prepared, I think they were expecting a big win.
The SDM team performed brilliantly. With the result we won 3 -1/2 to 1- 1/2.
