Pink Ladies Day 2023

Written by Karen Huxtable

Wow! what a fantastic day we had! 120 ladies looking fabulous all dressed in pink, (well nearly all!) playing golf at Silves.

The SdM 'pink boys' did a superb job of looking after the registration, giving out scorecards, pink golf balls, tees, AOA pens and Miss Designer vouchers or selling Mulligans. Not to mention setting up the course with pink tee markers and flags. They happily served us with water and Brassiere Rosal's wraps. Sarah Keen and Erin Schmidt did a great job selling golf balls and pre owned golf clothing. Dionne of Blevin Franks took photographs near the 18th green, the best pink pose will win a dinner at a restaurant. The ladies from Wine & Co. served Rose wine near the 18th green too. 2algarve added to the fun taking photographs and videos of the day. All the players received a welcome drink on arrival at the clubhouse, thanks Stefano Silvestre, Catering Manager. Maria de Lurdes, who founded the AOA enjoyed meeting so many supporters and giving personal thanks.
Certainly made it a special day to remember!

The event has raised in excess of €8,660 for the Algarvean Oncology Association, fantastic!

This will help fund the mobile breast screening unit and more, hopefully helping to save Ladies lives.
