The European Tour continues its sun hopping with a trip to the United Arab Emirates for the Abu Dhabi Championships. The likes of Harrington, Immelman and Garcia are coming out of their winter hibernation to make their first steps in challenging for the Race to Dubai. The European Tour has never before seen this level of prize money and although there have been many American mercenaries looking to plunder this European bounty; the safe money has to be on a European victor in the $10 million prize race.

I was a very disappointed golfer this weekend, not only was the course closed due to frost but I couldn’t put my new driver into use! So there was no golf despite me making it in time for my 7.30 am tee-time, thankfully the hot toddies available in the clubhouse made up for no play! To celebrate my lack of golf I’ve put together a simply sensational deal, including three night’s 5* accommodation and three rounds of golf for just £99 to CS Vila Lagoas in the sizzling Algarve! This offer is strictly limited so call now to avoid disappointment!
