| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Oporto Golf Club, Portugal's only links golf course, and head greenkeeper, Jose Granja. Explains that "the course might have had a wonderful beginning, but its history has seen a series of unfortunate incidents...The ocean that was once nearly two kilometers away is...less than 300 yards from the course, where the...fourth hole parallels the wide beach." Also mentions that "in 1974...a bull from a field adjacent to the golf course broke free and was creating havoc on the course." States that "drainage has been added to the course, the irrigation system upgraded, and a well was drilled on site so Oporto no longer has to use town water." |
