Amendoeira’s Fresh 2020
Vision for World Kids Golf
Amendoeira Golf Resort
is already turning its
attentions to 2020 after the
success of the 11th World
Kids Golf Championship. The stunning Algarve resort
hosted 80 players from 14 countries from the ages of
seven to 18 at the oldest junior golf tournament in
Portugal, played on both The Faldo and The O’Connor
courses. Norwegian talent from the under-18 category,
Peter Hov, took the overall title with a superb six-
over-par total over 54 holes, including a stunning
three-under-par 69 on day one. But it was under-16
ace Tomas Mician of Portugal, who recorded the
lowest round of the tournament with a remarkable
eight-under-par 64 on The Faldo course.
And organisers are already planning next year’s event
to continue the global success.
