Bom Samaritanos charity golf at Gramacho

The DOMINGOS golf group organised their annual charity golf game at Gramacho on 28th May, to support the Bom Smaritanos choldrens home in Alvor, which is home to 36 abused children of all ages from all parts of Portugal. The home needs additional transport to ferry children to and from the schools, sports fields etc, and the DOMINGOS, along with other organisations, are trying to raise 20,000 euros to buy a minibus.

We thank the management at Pestana for allowing us once again to use their Gramacho golf course to hold this event, and we also thank Rui Gago and the staff at Gramacho, for helping us to organise the event.

Forty golfers took part in the competition, and the three main prizes, of a meal for two people, were provided by restaurants from the Carvoeiro area, namely:

◦ La Bella Vita in Clube Atlantico

◦ Poco Partido

◦ Happy’s

We thank these restaurants once again for their support.

The overall winner of the Stableford competition was Bob Davey with 37 points;
the best score by a lady was Mal Chessman with 34 points,
and by a gentleman (excluding the overall winner), was Dick Chessman also with 34 points.

In addition there were three prizes for “nearest the pin”.

A lunch was provided after the game, and there was a raffle of ten prizes donated by supporters of the cause.

Finally, the event raised in excess of 1,600 euros for Bom Samaritinos to which we hope to add a further 1,200 euros later in the year, and we would like to thank all the participants and their guests for their support.
