The Race to Portugal

Saturday 4th September 2010

Monte da Quinta Resort (www.mqclub.com) is a new luxury resort located opposite the 18th fairway of Quinto de Lago, in Faro, Portugal, one of Europe’s finest courses. The resort is made up of The Suites (130 room Aparthotel) which was opened in 2008 and the Club which is a selection of exclusive villas and townhouses opened in 2005. Monte da Quinta Resort has a strategic partnership with the golf course with access to all of its three courses including the new Laranjal course.

In order to promote their property the Resort are running The Race to Portugal and I have the opportunity to offer participation in the competition to a small number of Clubs here in Ireland. The event will take place early in November 2010 and the Resort is offering a wonderful prize to each participating Club. The winner of each club qualifier will be provided with a weeks stay, on a Bed & Breakfast basis at the luxury The Suites with two days competitive golf at Quinta do Lago Golf Club against other clubs from Ireland and the U.K. This is a super prize to offer to your members and is approved by the Royal & Ancient for expenses.

The qualifier shall be a four ball better ball and the winning pair will represent their Club at the final.

I look forward to hearing from you in the not too distant future and I hope I will be welcoming your qualifiers to the Monte da Quinta Resort and Quinta do Lobo Golf Course in November.

Very Best Regards

Gerry O’Hara
