Salgados Golf Course
Comments for Salgados :
- Do you need a lift?
- Do you want to share buggy?
An invitation was extended from Salgados Golf Course to Chez Carlos Golf Society to participate in their *Strings* tournament. 7 of our members accepted and were met with a warm day with an abundance of wind and anyone who has played Salgados knows this means some difficult playing conditions are in your immediate future. The course itself is actually in top notch condition and the greens were quite quick. Putts had to be judged for speed quite precisely or there was a penalty to be paid for any exhuberant efforts that missed. The greens were near perfect for roll and it is appreciated that it was apparent the earlier groups made the effort to repair their pitch marks which isn't always the case around the Algarve. The concept of the Strings game was somewhat lost on a few of our members but the round actually moved along at a reasonable pace. None of our Chez Carlos group placed in the prizes for scoring, but Jim Gillis came away with the long drive prize of one large bacalhau. As has been the case in these Salgados events, the lunch provided afterwards was spectacular. Several codfish dishes and plenty of other options for those born without the I like fish gene, with an assortment of salad options and a well done sweets and fruit table for dessert. The cheesecake was amazing and there was plenty of wine which seemed to be much appreciated by all. Simply said, the value for these events hosted by Salgados is unbeatable and everyone has a great time. Its a bit of an earlier start than our usual, but highly recommended to try at least once.
Really enjoyed the course some nice holes
