I can't see this event happening. After initially sending me the flyer for the event, the guy running it has repeatedly ignored emails from me requesting an entry form and a breakdown of prize monies. Then about 3 weeks ago i get an email to say that he was away on holiday but had left his laptop at home but he'd email me the details when he got back (end of August). I've heard nothing since. The closing date for entries on the flyer has now well past. My gut feeling is that this event is not going to happen, probably because he realises that he isn't going to get anywhere near the 30 Senior and 70 Open division competitors he was expecting.

From the organiser:

The Portugal National Long Drive has been canceled for 2010. We regret this as events have unfolded that will not allow us to conduct the event as planned.  The Event will take place next year 2011 at the end of September.

We are working with all the sponsors to bring together one of the top events in Europe for 2011 under all the right circumstances. One change will be to have a two day competition and not a one day shoot out with the winners in the Open and Senior Division  going directly to the World Championship.

This is very unfortunate for all of us here in Europe but we look forward to a outstanding event next year.  We wish all the European hitters best of luck at the World Championships and We will be advising all in plenty of time for 2011 Event.
