Algarve Senior Tournament A bit of winter golf for me last week when I was fortunate to play in the Algarve Senior Invitational on two great courses; Pinheiros Altos and Laranjal. I was also joined by John Heaton and his wife Carol along with my better half Donna, who had a nice time while John and I were battling it out on the course. There were around 130 players with around 30 amateurs and 100 Pro’s and a star studded field of ex Ryder Cup players and European Senior Tour Winners and it was nice at least after my opening score of 1 under par to be amongst the leaders. Sadly I faded away a bit but managed a top 30 finish which was lucky as prize money only went down to 30th place. John and I played 2 practice rounds with local Pro Craig Corrigan who next week is going to the European Senior Tour Qualifying school and it was great to see him playing well and I hope he has a good shot at gaining a Tour card for this season.
