Vimeiro Matchplay 1808 - golf tournament
Golf Tournament scheduled to last eight months
In relation to the commemorations of the 200 years of the Battle of Vimeiro (1808-2008), the golf course of Vimeiro and the town council of Lourinhã are sponsoring the Vimeiro Matchplay 1808 golf tournament, which will have the projected duration of approximately eight months.
The reason behind the choice of this sport has to do with the own spirit of what was the Vimeiro Battle, where there will be a search, through 206 small "battles" (games between opponents), to determine a winner of the tournament, which end is scheduled for the 10th of August of 2008.
Next Saturday and Sunday, 26th and 27th of Janeiro, the first "battles" will be disputed, where the 96 potential opponents are going to initiate a journey that is lead them on to aspire the final victory.
"Such as in war, there are battles that are lost without that fact determining final defeat. That will be the Vimeiro Matchplay 1808 Golf Tournament way, where the loss of a confrontation does not mean the disillusion of not being able to conquer the big final day on the 10th of May", explains a press notice. Each competitor will be allowed to lose one of the games, being given a new opportunity of being able to turn out as the big winner in the end.
The organization has placed online a simple website ( http://www.vimeiromatchplay1808.com/ ) where one can be able to follow, step by step, the development of all that happens concerning this event.
