Palheiro Golf
Winner Duarte Franco and runner-up Guido Monari had two reasons to be happy after completing both holes in one to ensure the unforgettable start of the first edition of the Palheiro Gardens Golf Classic last month.
Both players were part of a group of around 100 players from around the world who gathered at Palheiro Golf for four days of fun on and off the Madeira course.
A masterful stroke from Franco was tapped on the 168-yard third hole, a par 3, a stroke that ended directly in the hole for a 1-hole. This doctor played brilliantly with 43 points. Stableford in the men’s 18-hole competition, four points more than its closest competitors.
Monari’s hole-in-one on the fifth hole, a par 3 of 141 yards, gave him second place, as did the close-to-hole prize, with Englishman Kevin Dixon finishing third with 37 points.

Palheiro member Evgeniya Mironosetskaya from Russia completed an impressive 39-point lap and won by four points over Franco’s wife July.
Organized charitable cause for the association Make A Wish, the tournament “Palheiro Gardens Golf Classic” raised more than € 2 to make a child’s dreams come true in Madeira.
The tournament also included a sunset welcome party, a cocktail award ceremony in Palheiro Gardens, and a special visit to Funchal’s famous Blandy’s Madeira Wine Lodge with wine tasting.
Jonathan Fletcher, President of Palheiro Nature Estate said: “Madeira is famous for its gardens and our gardens at Palheiro Nature Estate attract over 40 tourists annually. We also saw the internationally renowned Flor Festival as an opportunity to present our wonderful golf course and Madeira as a golf destination. “
The event was hosted by the famous host and 2009 Strictly Come Dancing champion Chris Hollins, who was making his first visit to the Portuguese archipelago. Hollins said: “Before I came here, I thought Madeira was famous for two things: wine and Cristiano Ronaldo. I now know from experience that it has so much more to offer and would recommend it to anyone looking to book a golf vacation. “
