McINALLY LEAVING ST ANDREWS BAY
FOR QUINTA DO LAGO POST

Iain McInally, director of golf at Fairmont St Andrews (formerly St Andrews Bay Hotel & Golf Resort), is leaving the post and his native Fife to become general manager of Quinta do Lago Golf Club, 15 miles west of Faro on Portugal’s Algarve coastline.
“It’s a big new challenge for me and I am very much looking forward to it. I shall be leaving St Andrews as of May 15,” said Iain who originally came back north to be director of golf at the Old Course Hotel, St Andrews five or six years ago from a similar post at Hanbury Manor Golf & Country Club in Hertfordshire.
Quinta do Lago, opened in 1974, has two first-class courses and is one of the quality golf centres on the Algarve.
