Golfing in the Algarve

On February 1, we took advantage of the sunny day in the Algarve, and headed out to one of the many golf courses and tried our hand at some golf.  We had a good 35 courses to choose from but we decided on Vale do Miho in Carvoeiro which is only about a 15 minute drive from Ferragudo.

We chose Vale do Milho because it;s great for beginners with 9 holes and a Par 3 course.  Perfect!  We're not "experienced" golfers and this gave us the opportunity to "wack" a few balls.

Off we headed with our rented clubs and started the 9-hole course.

You can see that we have no real form when it comes to trying to hit that little white ball with a club that's entirely way to short.

I have golfed many times before, and I'm still not any good as you can see below.

This was only Stijn's second time with the clubs, his first being a couple of weeks earlier on this same course with his dad.  I think I see some improvement?

It's always a great day when you both end with the same score, 52!
