Please find below the results of a great day of golf sponsored by Taste Restaurant as well as our photo gallery.

It was a warm day, but some cool sangria at the halfway house served with some lovely tapas kept us going.

Many of you were at Taste Restaurant last night for the prize giving dinner, but if you weren't, I can tell you missed a great evening.

We were welcomed by Ciprian and Nicola with a glass of bubbly,had a very nice couvert followed by a fantastic steak (and great fish for the non-carnivores) cooked by our own Jimmy Cruz with plenty of good wine to go with it.

Saturday saw another memorable Orange day in our calendar.

The annual Dutch Day celebration was fantastically supported by our members as well as some of our green keepers!

Overall winners on the day with 46 points were Malcolm Marshall and Ken Shelton with the runners up Geoff Cox and Arthur Greenwood only one point behind.

The organisers: Marja Chapman, Paula Luijt and help on the day from Andrea Schoonheim would like to thank all those who made it such a successful day.

A very commendable result this week for our interleague team, travelling to Tavira, a notoriously difficult venue, we achieved a halved match. All the games were tight, indeed there were three halved games, the other two finished with only one hole difference.

SdM have now moved to second place in the division after three matches.

Monday the 20th April saw the final round of the of the 2014/15 Fermon Trophy played at Vale da Pinta. The Vila Sol team took a significant 12 point advantage over Carvoeiro Golf & Country Club into this last of the 5 round contest. SDM and Alto were pretty much out of the battle for the cup but were facing their own sub contest in the fight to avoid the wooden spoon - at the start of the round SDM held a slender 3 point advantage!! However thanks to a fantastic performance by Mick Girling and Sandy Rumfitt who amassed a day's best 49 points the last place was never really a likelihood. Chris Nickels and Malcolm Cooke also returned a creditable 39 points. Other SDM team scores were Peter & Marja Chapman (37), Steve Edwards & Ulla Bischoff (35), Stu Deans & Judi Murphy (29) and Stu & Maz McGill (29)  

The team scores on the day reflected the standings in the table with Vila Sol maintaining their fine form to record 199 points from their 5 scoring pairs. Carvoeiro were second with 193, SDM managed a score of 189 and Alto brought up the rear with 184. So Vila Sol held on the claim their first ever Fermon Trophy.

Final Table 

After the fantastic home win last month SdM came back down to earth with a bang losing 5-0 to QdL on the magnificent newly improved North Course. The tough greens proved the undoing of our team. Tee to green most matches were very even but the local knowledge on the very undulating putting surfaces proved vital.

Congratulations to QdL Lady Captain who had a hole in one (her 4th) on the eighth.
