2021 EUROPEAN INDIVIDUAL CHAMPIONSHIP for GOLFERS with
                          DISABILITY
      Dates: August 21 - 24, 2021 (Practice day on the 21st August)
  To be contested over the; O Connor Jnr Course, Amendoeira Resort,
                          Algarve, Portugal.
Designed by Christy O'Connor Jnr., this course complements the neighbouring Faldo Course and
also takes full advantage of being situated in a fertile valley. Its various water features, both
lakes and watercourses that are spread throughout the entire course, demand accuracy and
test from all golfers, and the rich topsoil has been skilfully landscaped and planted with mature
palm trees, affording a lush, ornamental setting like an extensive oasis.
This course has tees that are generally connected to the fairways, but its greater overall
distance, the water hazards and big greens provide its challenge. Golfers must also be prepared
to read the subtly contoured putting surfaces that are strong features.

Message from the EGA President - Haukur Örn Birgisson

The European Golf Association is most grateful to the Portuguese Golf Federation and the
Amendoeira Resort for hosting the 2021 European Individual Championships for Golfers with
Disability. I also extend my thanks to the members for making their superb golf course
available for this championship. All competitors will no doubt enjoy such a beautiful venue, and
as always, friendships will be enhanced by the friendly rivalry which this event provides.

I wish all competitors a most happy and enjoyable championship!

Message from the EDGA President – Tony Bennett

For many the opportunity to play The EGA European Individual Championship for Golfers with
Disability, is a real sporting highlight. For a few the medal they receive, regardless of its colour
will be reward for the endless hours of effort to reach their potential. It is my wish that all
players will take away lasting memories, of good golf, good competition and lasting friendships.
