Maddi, I know you weren’t replying to me but you made a general statement that I thought could be added upon. Being “a little belligerent and somewhat aggressive”. I just thought to ask you clarification stated on your previous post and what you think is the “environmental impact” of golf courses, a...

Maddi, Great point you inadvertantly raised. Don't forget to add the foreign golfers from outside the EU that likes to come to Europe and enjoy the vast variety of golf courses (and I guess add to the local economy paying usually premium prices not only for the golf green fees, but hotels, restos, c...

Maddi, Tiny Tim I assume you are not talking about me. Maddi I don't know, you tell me? What I can be sure is I am not talking about myself. I consider myself a pretty reasonable person when it comes to the environment. I recycle paper, glass, aluminum, cardboard, batterys, utilize cloths as much as...

Graham, Thanks for laying it out plain and simple. I'm afraid alot of this golf course bashing is not necessarily with the better interests of the environment, but a typical reaction of the "watermelon " brigade parading as environmentalists. Guest Show me the people who can just go out and buy golf...

Tricky,

Sorry to hear your story. I have never experienced this in all my 20+ visits to the resto since Fall '97.

Very pleasant staff at Tivoli Almansor, great guys behind the bar, Tony Jr. a bit of a miss, and avoid at all costs the Almansor buffet at night. Maybe O Stop will be reopened for the season. Praia Centiannes Beach, really family atmosphere and great folk there. Its just down the road from Tivoli, o...

Tricky, Hi Tiny Tim I work for a Ad agency and we produce travel brochures for a very upmarket tour operator, we feature Vale De Lobo and always show a photo of 'the most photographed hole in the world' But I'm blowed if I know why. I feel it is my duty to find out for you and I will - soon Please d...

But if the medicine doesn't sooth the mind for your Algarvian mystery, there's a few very omniscient and sure people on this forum who can answer curious mystery's like there's no tomorrow.

Martin,

I agree with Rod on the medication part. I think he'd recommend a Guinness Ice Cold

Guest, in an earlier posting you claim (from what source?) that a course uses 2.8 m litres per day very reliable, from an actual irrigation project in the Algarve ok let us assume you are correct....on an average daily human consumption of 150 litres per day..that works out equal to a town of 18666....

Gambrinus If both holes drill into the same underground deposit, they will start using that water. The water level will drop if it does not get replenished and the shallower hole runs dry quicker. When close to the coastline, seawater can then replace this sweet water if/when it drops away far enoug...

Guest, yes the bore hole went dry a year after the golf course became operational.....i understand that their boreholes (pestanta) have now gone salty. So how has the golf course been able to irrigate itself for nine years from your friend’s dry borehole, the borehole that went dry providing water t...

Guest, when you say dormant..you mean brown...does that appeal to golfer ..brown fairways The color will not be green, neither brown, just off-green. While green is a nice color, golf is played off a surface quality above all and not a color. i am afraid you seem to take the golf industries side...h...

Guest, i am afraid that iny tim needs to get away from the little details...did you tt in your calculation use 3.4 " tube or 1.2" ..what settings have you allowed for the pessure switch on the bomba..what equipment did you allow for in your calculation rainbird..hunter...my point is that really all ...
