Despite some very good individual performances SdM could not secure the victory that was important if we are to mount a challenge for the league title this year.
Our only winners were Ray and Eileen Groves with a half for Bob Coe and Arthur Greenwood.
All the other three matches were losses.
Final score 3 1/2 1 1/2 to Levant.
Our ladies day was a smaller field than normal, and in very windy conditions our game was hidden partner. We also had a prize for the lady with the most points on the six par 3s. Paula luijt very kindly sponsored longest drive on the 7 and nearest the pin on the 16th.
The reult of the home match against Parque de Floresta on Thursday 16th May was all square.
Mike Carr & Bob Coe: level
I had a very interesting 2 days this week with the ladies from the FPG while they carried out Silves course slope rating and it was good to get an insight into how it is done.
On each yellow tee, shot lengths are measured for both scratch and bogey players, based on average shot length statistics and the same procedure is done from the red tees.
An AimPoint Green Reading Clinic is being run by Rob Chaney on Friday 17th May at Silves putting green from 12:00pm. The usual cost for Pestana members is €100 but SdM members can now attend for the very low price of €20.
Mel Huxtable wins this years Spring Cup! Two rounds of 37 points was enough to beat Mags Taylor's 40-34 on count back.
SdM suffered a narrow defeat at Alto today. The match hung in the balance right up to the final match which sadly didn't go our way. Always a very tough place to play the team tried very hard, sadly to no avail. There were to good wins, Mike Carr and Bob Coe ran out 5&4 winners as did the Ian Chapman & Gill Edwards pairing, again 5&4.
