Day 1 Saturday 24th
Transfers were to be arranged by Boyd. As he is longer doing these I am attempting to do these myself. Pestana have a bus but its main function is to escort players to from the hotel/golf course, so at this present time they are unable to guarantee availablility.
I am missing some flight details ( Copeland,Marshall, Hart, Waddell, Oliver, Worley,West & Burt).
Steve & I will endeavour to resolve this once we arrive ourselves in Portugal. We have meetings arranged with Pestana. At the last resort we will hire a bus and pick you up ourselves !
Day 2 Sunday 25th
Practice round. Tee times are booked for all 25 players from 1pm. ( Manchester United football programs starts @ 2pm )

The Algrave Tourist board (ATA), have stepped in to sponsor this.
Guia Style Chicken - with or without piri piri. Drink ( beer, wine and soft drinks) included.

Presentation evening at the PINTA CLUBHOUSE– BBQ buffet & drinks included. Evening starts at 6.30pm
There will be a variety of prizes from Nearest the Pins, Best Stableford Score, then a Best Gross & Best Nett award for each of the 6 age groups.
Each player is entitled to play 18 holes. However a number of the younger players may feel that this will be too excessive for 5 days. Therefore we felt the U8 & U7 will only play 9 holes of competitive golf. They may wish to play on. Alternatively we are more than willing to put together a small family game is parents can play golf. This can be arranged at the welcome party.
Day 7 Friday 30th
Free day
