The newspaper "Região Sul" published on 26 November 2003 a piece about the creation of an official House of Golf in the Algarve that was illustrated by a photo showing the two gentlemen that signed the protocol and three flags. These are:
In the left we have got the flag of the European Golfing Federation
In the centre, we have the Portuguese national flag.
In the right, almost hidden outside the picture, there is a flag that can be identified by the similarity of the visible part of its charge and the emblem that is hanging on the wall, which belongs to the Federação Portuguesa de Golfe (FPG), or Portuguese Golfing Federation.
It is a white flag (what a surprise!) with the FPG emblem centred. The emblem consists of the Portuguese shield with stylised towers in place of the castles, surrounded by the name of the federation in golden capitals and crowned by two crossed golf clubs, here the sticks for hitting the balls, also golden.
