CTT Mail of Portugal founded in 1520 by King D Manuel is the oldest Portuguese company. Over the centuries they have been following the country's history and, in 2020, the 500th anniversary year, in collaboration with the CG Architects (CGA), they presented a collection of stamps dedicated to golf.
The edition of personalized stamps discloses Portugal, which is the best golf destination in the world, as well as the GC that celebrated twenty years of existence last year and was thus distinguished by CTT. The launch ceremony of the philatelic series and the entire personalized CGA postcard, took place last November at the National Golf Training Center of Jamor with the presence of the President of the Portuguese Golf Federation, Miguel Franco de Sousa, Raul Moreira, director of CTT and the board of the CGA. Given the pandemic situation, the event took place on the lawn outside the clubhouse, benefiting from an excellent autumn day, sunny and even hot. These were very significant moments for the promotion of national golf. Participants signed the entire first day postcard with the stamp. Once again the CGA innovated.
The PGA of America, Ryder Cup Europe and the PGA Tour jointly announced early july that both the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup have been rescheduled and will now be played one year later than originally planned.
