Our Captain for this year, Les Smith, presided over his "Big Weekend" and what a fantastic two days in was. Saturday saw the field of 76 play a 2 ball better ball competition with some incredible scores. 

The weather was perfect and the course played well. Les and wife Jackie were ably supported by Don Forrester and Joe O'Reilly in the buggies supplying ample refreshments and taking the photographs.

After the completion of the golf the nearest the pins and fairway centre line were presented.

In his speech, Les thank all those involved in helping him make it such a special day including all of the Pestana staff.

On Sunday evening the presentation dinner was held at the wonderful Luna Diamante Restaurant in Sesmarias Albufeira. The location was fantastic and the food delicious.

After the prize giving, Les once again thanked everyone involved in the organising, Jodie Caudle for the photographs, and with a special mention and a lovely bouquet for his better half Jackie.
