Golf in Portugal
The first golf course appeared in the 1920's in between Portimao and Praia da Rocha, but didnt have greens made of grass, lack of fresh water meant that the 'greens' were made from sand and oil! The first proper golf course opened in 1966 at Penina, just a few kilomatres away from Lagos, and was designed by Sir Henry Cotton, who enjoyed the later years of his life in the area, and could be seen on the course with his caddy, his clubs draped over the back of a donkey!!

The Cache
This cache is one of a series of caches with a golf theme. Located adjacent to a paved area in the park next to the Pro Putting Garden, this is an unusual cache, NANO in size, so you may need tweezers to access the log book. Bring your own pen, and please replace exactly as found. There is a lot of muggle activity in the area with children playing in the park, and many dog walkers. Stealth is required.
Happy putting and geocaching!
