If you’d like to see a little bit of Vilamoura before you arrive for this year’s Viv Thomas Masters, you’ve come to the right place!

…with thanks to Glenn Thomas for sending this over by e-mail.

LAW 1:
No matter how bad your last shot was, you should have Inner Peace knowing that a crappier one is yet to come. This law does not expire on the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural tendency to extend over the course of a tournament, a summer and, eventually, a lifetime.

LAW 2:
Your best round of golf will be followed almost immediately by your worst round ever. The probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about the former.

LAW 3:
Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water. Expensive clubs have been known to be partly made with this most unusual natural alloy.

LAW 4:
Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play. If one does, the tree is breaking a law of the universe and should be cut down.

LAW 5:
The higher a golfer’s handicap, the more qualified he deems himself as an instructor.

LAW 6:
A golfer hitting into your group will always be bigger than anyone in your group. Likewise, a group you accidentally hit into will consist of a football player, a professional wrestler, a convicted murderer and an IRS agent — or some similar combination.

LAW 7:
All 3-woods are demon-possessed. Your Mother-in-Law does not come close.

LAW 8:
Golf balls from the same “sleeve” tend to follow one another, particularly out of bounds or into the water. See LAW 3.

LAW 9:
The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to what it really should be.

LAW 10:
Golf should be given up at least twice per month.

LAW 11:
All vows taken on a golf course shall be valid only until the sunset.

LAW 12:
Since bad shots come in groups of three, your fourth consecutive bad shot is really the beginning of the next group of three.

LAW 13:
If it isn’t broke, try changing your grip.

LAW 14:
It’s surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 8.

LAW 15:
Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.

LAW 16:
Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.

LAW 17:
It’s not a gimme if you’re still 4 feet away.

LAW 18:
The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.

LAW 19:
You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10% of the time, and a 2-inch branch 90% of the time.

LAW 20:
Every Time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make a double or triple bogey to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

LAW 21:
If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to use it to lay up just short of a water hazard.

LAW 22:
There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.

LAW 23:
A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

LAW 24:
Don’t buy a putter until you’ve had a chance to throw it.

Hello gents,

I can finally confirm the program and prices for the forthcoming VT Masters, 17th to 22nd June.

I’m happy to say that the package price for this year will be the same as last year in Spain. Eu850-00 (£720-00 or about $1,100) per player.

The registration fee includes the following:

• Hotel for 5 nights incl B/B.
• 4 x rounds of golf with buggies.
• Dinner with wine/beer for 5 nights, incl prize giving dinner on the last night.
• Daily prizes and over-all prizes.
• All airport/hotel transfers.
• All hotel/golf transfers.
• The customary goodies bag.

The golf courses are Portugal’s premium courses, the Oceanico Group. We’ll be playing the Millenium, Laguna x 2 and Victoria, which is the venue for the Portuguese Masters every year.

Victoria

Laguna

Millenium
http://www.oceanicogolf.com/our-courses/portugal-the-algarve/oceanico-millennium-course/course-overview.html

The hotel is situated on the Vilamoura Marina, close to all the activity, with the Infamous “Cats” nightclub within spitting distance. I have made arrangements with the hotel to allow evening “entertainment” to continue in the guys rooms, without a problem!

The hotel will either be the Olympic or Tivoli, both on the Marina. At this stage Oceanico Group have agreed to the Olympic Hotel, but I am currently trying to get the Tivoli Hotel which is 4 star at the same price. I am also negotiating to try and get an early registration/payment discount, which I hope to advise in the next few days.

PLEASE can I have your confirmed intention to participate in this years Masters ASAP. A number have already confirmed/declined one way or another and I thank you for your assistance in getting back to me.

If you have anybody you’d like added to our Golf mailing List then please do let me know. This can be friends, business associates, Adult Industry or otherwise.

Cheers,

Viv

For the very first time, an adult production studio has partnered up with the PGA.

VivThomas.com, a high quality adult production studio, with a passion for golf, sponsored a pro-am competition featuring top Portuguese golf players in conjunction with PGA Portugal.

In November, VivThomas.com sponsored their first ever Pro-Am competition at the idyllic Benamor Golf Course. Nestled in the rolling hills of the East Algarve, Benamor is a stone’s throw from Tavira and they eagerly hosted the Pro-Am with their usual flair and superb customer service. Huge thanks to Viv Thomas’ good friends at Playboy TV for co-sponsoring the event!

PGA Portugal Order of Merit

The day dawned crisp and clear and the weather held all the way through the tournament. PGA Portugal’s order of merit was extremely well represented and many of the most famous golfers in Portugal turned out for what will hopefully become an annual competition. Antonio Sobrinho and current number three, Hugo Santos, whose brother, Ricardo Santos, is co-incedently holding the first place right now. Fourteen golf pro’s in total graced us with their presence and many officials including the President of PGA Portugal, José Correia, played through.

A large percentage of the amateur players hailed from the mythical Falcões golf club: a group of business colleagues and old friends who play a committed game every weekend. Old friends shouted out to each other and amidst much back slapping and jesty chuckles the first smack of a driver pierced the morning air with a metallic ping. Sobrinho had teed off and the game was on!

Importantly, Esporão sponsors the wine

After a competitive morning 46 keen golfers returned to the 19th hole for some refreshment which mainly took the form of a crisp Esporão white wine. Recently this famous estate purchased a few farms in the Douro and Quinta de Murças wine regions and their wines are being launched around the land. This refreshingly tasty wine sits delicately on the palate and the golfers and their guests consumed the samples on offer with great gusto. Benamor’s gourmet kitchen kicked into high gear and course after course of delicacies rolled out, with the wine from Esporão flowing copiously and an empty glass was ne’er to be seen.

 Longest Drive finals

The longest drive still had to be decided and in the midst of festivities, just after the main course had been served, whistles were blown and the top five longest drivers were called to the 1st tee and ordered to compete. Antonio Sobrinho cracked his ball down the fairway almost making a dent in the official buggy where Viv Thomas was observing from the fairway. The winner was announced and everyone proceeded inside to the prize giving.

 Prizegiving with Jose Correia and Viv Thomas

Viv Thomas himself and Jose Correia President of PGA finally hushed the crowd and handed out the prizes ranging from premium sponsors Playboy merchandise which included high quality golf balls, gloves and tees, to golf bags and Nike shoes. Everyone went home with excellent prizes and many great memories.

Another exceptionally well prepared day ran without a hitch and there were mutterings in the car park about next year, next year. We will see!

Puerto Banus down the road might pique your interest as well…  I just bumped into an interesting little Marbella NightLife site so do your homework before coming over.

On Wednesday we’re teeing off at a respectable 12:00 (not like one other day where we have a 9:30am tee-time!).  La Quinta is “one of the finest golf courses on the Costa del Sol, Spain” (says their site – hell, it gets better and better doesn’t it?).

This one does look good, though, with three 9-hole courses set into the surrounding countryside from which you can see the Med AND the mountains surrounding “Marbella Golf Valley” (soon to be renamed to Marbella Golf Alley when we get there).
