Club Captain's Page

In the Autumn of 2007 in a small and rather quaint restaurant in (yes.... you've guessed it Vilamoura!) 14 enthusiastic golfers, all of whom had met and become great friends through the Charity Golf Weeks arranged by John Andrew and run in aid of Francis House, got together and over a glass of wine....or two....or three...the Vilamoura Gringos Golf Society was created.

We're a diverse group and our membership represents many clubs (we even have members from as far as Anglesey!).   We meet regularly throughout the golfing season, taking part in 'mixed opens' at a variety of clubs.  Each time we meet up our goal is to raise much needed funds for Francis House Children’s Hospice, have lots of fun and of course play some golf.

We have a committee with the traditional roles of Treasurer, Secretary etc and some more unusual ones such as Entertainments Manager, reflecting the fun nature of our little society.  We have an AGM in October to coincide with the Charity Golf Week.

Our fundraising is through raffles and donations made by members of the group and we are always looking for new ideas.  Who knows what we will come up with for next years golfing season.  Watch this space!
