2011 Winner Tom Lewis

Portugal Masters Winner - Tom Lewis

Tom Lewis won the 2011 Portugal Masters held at The Victoria course 13-16th October. The Residences resort overlooks the 8th & 9th fairways of the Victoria course. This is his first European Tour title in only his 3rd professional start.

The 20 year old from England, won the 5th Portugal Masters with 21 under par, becoming the joint third quickest Affiliate Member to win on The European Tour. Tom started the final round in 8th position, 4 strokes behind the over night leader Rafael Cabrera-Bello of Spain, who finished second, 2 strokes behind.

Tom took home €417,000 and we all look forward to seeing him here next year, once the dates have been finalized.

He shot to fame this year at The 140th British Open Championship after posting the lowest-ever score by an amateur in Open history in the first round at Royal St. George’s, a brilliant 65 leaving him tied for the early lead with Thomas Björn, before eventually finishing tied for 30th and winning the Silver Medal as the leading amateur. He also played a successful part in the successful 2011 Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup Team that defeated the USA 14-12 at Royal Aberdeen. He played in all four matches and gained one and a half points, before turning professional this September. Tom comes from Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, the same club that produced Sir Nick Faldo and was named after his father’s golfing hero and the man he shared the tee with in his famous first round at The 2011 Open, American legend Tom Watson.

We all wish Tom Lewis the new golf star all the best for the future.

Owners Annual Golf Tournament
June 2nd 2012

A date for all owners, whether golfers or not is the long holiday weekend of Saturday June 2nd.

The Tournament will be at The Victoria course followed by a late lunch. The full itinerary will be forwarded in due course. We look forward to seeing as many owners and guests as possible.

This will be the fourth Tournament since The Residences opened in July 2009 and it would be a change if the Kennedy families supremacy to date was challenged, so come on owners get some practise in.

Owners Summer Rental Income

All owners in the Tivoli Hotels & Resorts rental pool have now received their income for the first six months of the year.

The rental pool is on budget to achieve for the full year almost €1,500,000 income, spread amongst the participating owners and Tivoli Hotels the operator. To date after 8 months, rental income is 30% more than 2010, an excellent result in difficult trading conditions.

Owners should remember the peak season average daily rates, especially August are €300 for a Resort Suite, 2 bedroom apartment and €350 for a Master Suite, 3 bedroom apartment.

To maximise their income and avoid the heat of the peak summer period many owners avoid August, visiting in July or September.
