AROEIRA AND MIRAMAR NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

With an excellent performance on the last two days of competition, the Aroeira team became National Club Champion in the under-18 level, imposing itself at the decisive moment over the representatives of the Azul team of the Miramar Golf Club. The northern club won the title in the under-14s, ahead of Orizonte Lisbon Golf.

The National Championship of Clubs in the sub-14 and sub-18 levels animated Santo Estêvão Golfe for three days, with the participation of a total of 18 teams – five in the youngest and 13 in the Sub-18.

It was among the older ones that the competition was fiercest, with C.G. Miramar (Equipa Azul) in command at the end of the first round, but Aroeira reached the top position at the end of the second round, reaching the decisive day with a scarce advantage of six shots.

So on the last day everything was open. But the formation of the club from the south bank of the Tagus River did not give the northerners a chance, managing to score with a result of 223 strokes (four over par 73), to end with a final aggregate of 661 strokes (+4). The Azul de Miramar team was also at a very good level in the last round, but totaled ten more strokes than the now champions, with 233 (+14). The final aggregate totaled 677 strokes (20 over par), 16 strokes from Aroeira. Quinta do Peru (Blue Team), 695 (+38), finished in third place. At the U-14 level, the Miramar Golf Club dominated, leading the rankings from day one. After the first two rounds, the advantage over the second placed team, the Orizonte Lisbon Golf team, was already 48 strokes. In the final round, it was extended to 65, with the northerners scoring 243 and the Lisboners 260. Vilamoura Golf Club, 797 (+140), was third.
