In a modern twist of a traditional recipe, cacti and wild herbs replace the role of Sunningdale’s heather, spartan Holm oaks and ancient olive trees take the place of a lush English woodland, and desert scrub bunkers of crushed limestone replace Berkshire’s sandy tracts in a golf course that revels in the classic principles of strategic play.
Chris leaves Paul for the afternoon and heads off to play the course. He plays the 13th hole, a long par 5, on this prestigious course in the Algarve.
