Another year and another brilliant St Patrick's Day!
Our Irish members pulled out all the stops again for a day of great golf, great fun and friendship Thanks to you all!
16 teams competed for the prizes in a Texas Scramble, the scores were all very good, the winners-Pete Hatherley, Andy Richardson, Dave Underwood and Bob Coe- had a terrific score, whilst best gross went to George Cook, Lynn Cook, Judi Murphy and Steve Edwards. Nearest the pins, kindly sponsored by Arthur O'Greenwood and Paddy Spallin, were won by Colin Hynd and Dot Forrester.

It is with sadness that we said goodbye this week to two long standing members of Serra de Monchique. Nick and Dawn Mackinlay have decided to move back to the UK. Nick was Club Captain in 2011 and with Dawn they supplied the halfway house for every SdM event for the past few years.
Some of our members will be aware whilst our Captain is on his holidays in South Africa he has been on a strict diet.
We have received some information that may well bring this into doubt..................
Many congratulations to our Comp Sec Lynn Cook who scored her first hole in one whilst playing on Saturday.
She was accompanied by husband George and Colin and Lynne Hynd.
SdM Members Robert and Hannalore McMahon would like to draw your attention to the following Dinner and Dance, Although it is an application form you may wish to contact them directly for more details. Go to Members>Members Contact Details.

Monday 19th January saw the latest round of the Fermon Trophy, this time the SDM home game at Silves. Competitors were faced with tough condition with a stiff, cold wind blowing throughout the round but despite that there was some good golf played. It was probably the closest game in Fermon Trophy history with only 1 (one) point separating all four team. Winners on the day were Vila Sol with 176 points, the other three teams (Carvoeiro,SDM and Alto) were tied in second place with 175. Alto helped by a best of the day performance of 42 by one of their pairs.
