K Club Visit
A two day match was held last Friday and Saturday against The K Club Dublin which was the return of the same event held in Dublin last summer. In excellent golfing weather conditions the 22 K Club players proved too strong for the CGQL team emerging as winners 13 ½ – 8 ½. Donal Dixon, one of the K Club guests, added to the occasion by having a hole in one on South 7, which meant the champagne was in plentiful supply at the dinner held on Saturday night. The participating K Club Members were very complimentary about our excellent hospitality and in particular the two great meals served by Joao, Rosa and the team, so our thanks go to them. The photos show the two Lady Captains who presented the prizes at the dinner and Donal being helped in serving the champagne by our own Ricardo.
Last Ladies Clinic Before Summer
This Wednesday (June 25th) will be the last Ladies Golf clinic until after the school summer holidays. It will take place from 11am-12noon on the Quinta do Lago driving range. The cost is 15€ per person.
Francis Lee Gets Hole-in-One
It may challenge the current crop of England football players to make a mark in Group D of the World Cup in Brazil, but it’s “aces high” for one former England forward, Francis Lee. Last Wednesday he got his first ever hole-in-one. It came on the 11th hole of the South Course in the Mens’ Day Singles Stableford. Well done Francis and thanks for the champagne!!
Guests in the Spike Bar
Owing to a problem that occurred last week, we remind all members that, whereas their guests are more than welcome to use the Spike Bar, it is the member who should do the ordering through the bar staff, and who is responsible for payment of the bill. If there is any doubt the bar staff have been asked to request members for their membership number. Thank you for your co-operation.
Reminder on the North Course
Once again we remind members and owners that Quinta do Lago are concerned that people are wandering around the new North Course whilst the new grass is seeding, and potentially causing cross contamination of grass types. Please pass on the message to anyone staying in your villa to keep off the grass for the time being. There will be plenty of time in the future to play on the North Course! Thank you.
Events for Next Week
The events for next week are listed below. Please consult the members’ website for more details:
