Dined at the in-house Restaurant here at Dom Pedro Portabella, named San Rafael and enjoyed a hearty meal, Ken had swordfish and Jeanette, with a hamburger and a half bottle of local white wine was shared and enjoyed

Slept well and we both woke at about 6.30 am as the sun was rising.

In house breakfast is of good quality. Ken then booked his shuttle to go to Pinhal Golf Club, one of the Dom Pedro golf courses here in Vilamoura .

Shuttle took Ken and they picked up 6 others at Dom Pedro group hotels here in Vilamoura. Report in at Golf pro shop. Tee time of 9.46am with two talented Irish ladies. We hit off at 9.55am due to issues with 3 Korean gents in front.

A very good course with slope rating of 137 and Ken played off Yellow tees. Played well and we completed the back 9 in 2 hours 20 minutes..

Ken in a tough 36 par had 42 points from 44 strokes on the back nine. Could have been better, but very pleased. Started front 9 well with 3;points on each of first two holes, but fought hard to stay on my game as the sea breeze came up.

Eventually came to the 9th hole with 41 strokes and 17 points.

Onthe long 9 th hole an excellent 178 metre drive and 3 wood had me within 15 feet of the green, but my chip was to 8feet and my first put just slid by so a good 5 on the 9th led to 46 and a total of 90 on a tough course. On the front nine 19 stableford points plus 22/on the back led to 41 stableford points. A terrific result and a net 67. Very pleased.

Enjoyed the golf with the 2 Irish ladies. Sharnee had net 70 and Linda a net 74.

Then having finished in 4 hours 35 minutes enjoyed a beer and toasted sandwich.

Shuttle took 40 minutes to come and arrived back at Dom Pedro Portobello at 4.50 pm after a most enjoyable day
