The annual Golf Charity Day took place at Silves Golf Course on Friday, 6^th July with 103 members and their guests taking part from both Serra de Monchique (SdM) and Silves International Golf Clubs (SICG).

All went very well and the Cup was won by a Team from SdM, Mick Caudle, Chris Zisimedes, Stephen Day and Les Jennings with a score of 140 points. They also received a memento trophy, golf shirts and balls donated by Blevins Franks. The format of the competition was teams of 4 with a minimum of 3 drives each and then each played their own ball, with 3 scores to count. There were nearest the pin prizes as well as a car worth 12,000 euros up for grabs for a Hole in One on the 16^th. Sadly, no one achieved this, however the Captain’s Charities did benefit.

Congratulations to our interclub team who had a narrow loss to Pinheiros Altos 3-2.

Team SdM had another outstanding home win against Tavira today winning 4 out of 5 matches and halving the other we take 9 points out of ten to cement our position at the top of Division 2.

Some outstanding performances today, Andy and Les continue their marriage made in heaven and Michael Docherty shoots another gross 69!

Results:

A superb performance sees SdM win away at Palmares.

Previously unbeaten at home Palmares put out a very strong team and started strong favourites to go through. SdM however continued their fine run of form with a truly magnificent performance to win 3.5/1.5.

SdM now go forward to play in the Final at Penina on September 7th against either Boavista or Vila Sol.

Results:

Another great weekend of fun. The weekend of June 16 -17 saw the annual SdM Captain’s Day and Reception. The format for the golf was a Pairs Betterball Stableford and a field of 92 players produced some great golf - well done to all those who won a prize but especially Gillian Duplessis and Wendy Emrich for taking the Captain's Jug home and to John and Kitty Usher for winning the Best Guest prize.
