This year's club tour saw a return to the fabulous Cabanas Beach and Nature Resort. A wonderful complex set on the Atlantic coast. The itinerary included two rounds on the picturesque Quinta da Ria course and one on the equally fabulous Quinta de Cima course. There was also a free day with members having the opportunity to explore local sites or simply chill out round the pool.

Each evening began with  drinks before dinner, which was in our own dining room. One evening  included a lucky dip bran tub event, a traditional occurrence with SdM tours.

Day one saw a pairs betterball stableford, day two a team event: Foxes vs Squirrels and day four was the Cabanas Trophy, an individual stableford.

The event ran flawlessly, due entirely to the brilliant organisation of John and Julia Hall. They both put in hours of hard work and their efforts were appreciated and admired by all.
