Friday, 26 February 2010 00:00

Vale do Lobo Golf Club has just announced it is now offering the new Shadow Caddy which is available for rental at its reception. This latest piece of equipment is the first autonomous robotic vehicle of its kind. Operated by a transmitter clipped to the belt, the new Shadow Caddy is hands-free and does what the name suggests by following golfers around the course with their clubs. Twice host venue of the Portuguese Open, Vale do Lobo is home to two championship courses – Royal and Ocean - both based on original concepts created by Sir Henry Cotton and re-developed by Rocky Roquemore.
