Are you staying at Gramacho? Nice accommodation and a cheap 10 minute Uber to Carvoeiro at night time.
We played Gramacho, Pinta and Silves on our first trip abroad. Silves was the best of those 3.

Erm yeah I think so, Pestana villas or something like that. Think it's the same place.
Booked a hire car so will zip about and find some nice places to eat.

I'm the only one on the driving range currently at St Pierre.
There must be a Soc going out on the Old with some dodgy swings. There's been a constant procession of folk looking for their ball against the Range Fence, or over it.
Although I'm not sure if they are needing a jacket for their meal, or if they attend funerals!

Still up at my MiLs I haven’t played for more than two weeks…and looking at the weather down home I don’t think I would have been playing anyway. Course status update this mornings tells me all bunkers are GUR (at least some will be flooded) and we have forward tees on a few holes…to avoid very wet and saturated areas of fairway.
At least we’ll get a good idea of how well our rainwater runoff flood mitigation measures, and those measures supportive to us carried out by the council and the neighbouring farmer, have worked. The bunkers and sodden fairways will drain fairly quickly.

New 3 wood just arrived a day early, AND the missus is currently out so I don't have to explain this one either. What a result!
Yet...........it will catch up with you. They always find out in the end

Mine isn't very observant. She played a round with me the other night and still didn't notice the other new 3 wood in the bag then. As long as she doesn't see it arrive in a box at the door I'm good.Yet...........it will catch up with you. They always find out in the end

Just keep the old head covers on the new clubs and she’ll never know.

There is a bloke I know that gets an occasional purchase delivered to a mate who then gives it to him when they meet up for game.
Pathetic really, but vey comical and sneaky.

I tried to do that last time but he said he was never in! He offered to get it delivered to his mum's for me but even I thought that was too ridiculous.There is a bloke I know that gets an occasional purchase delivered to a mate who then gives it to him when they meet up for game.

I knew someone who scuffed up a brand new set of irons, so his missus didn't think they were new!Just keep the old head covers on the new clubs and she’ll never know.

Nothing is too ridiculous for a sneaky club delivery.
Some wonderful attempts at subterfuge but do people not look at their bank accounts?

Merely involves another bit of subtle subterfuge.

Seems a bit worrying that people have to lie to their partners

It is not a lie if she never knows anything about it.Seems a bit worrying that people have to lie to their partners
Successful secretiveness for her own peace of mind, maybe.
