Golf Courses Re-open
Golfers benefited this week from the Government's three-tier structure to get the economy moving again.
From 4 May golf courses were allowed to re-open with measures in place to comply with health and safety precautions designed to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.
Boavista Golf was one of the first courses to re-open. “Since the official announcement of the Portuguese Government on Thursday, 30 March, we started to inform, firstly our members, that we would open the golf facilities On 4 May. After that, we informed via Facebook the remaining population,” Golf Director Hugo Pinheiros told Tomorrow.
Bookings were available by email or phone only, and in 1 hour (on Saturday) their reception received 90 bookings for Monday, “It was very gratifying to see the support from our members and guests,” says Hugo.
As expected, members were the first to respond on the re-opening. Six weeks without golf, for avid golfers meant they came flooding back and as soon the course opened they had 90 plus members playing in 2 ball flights.
