Presentation evening at the PINTA CLUBHOUSE - 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
category.
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.

Friday 28th
Free day – Day out to a local water park will hopefully be
arranged, or families wanting to play golf can arrange a tee time through
Pestana.
