Maxitours Algarvian Classic day 1.
Maxitours players were golfing at the premier resort in Europe today in the first round of the Algarvian Classic.
The sun was cracking the flags, players were wearing shorts and the Laranjal golf course was in spectacular condition.
Gary Corbett has travelled the world and played on golf courses I can only dream about. ‘I think that these are the best greens I have played on – ever!’ Reported the likeable Mere man.
‘What a day. Life is too short to miss Maxitours in January!’ Declared wise and big -hitting Nigel Jenkins.
‘It was a bit too hot for me out there!’ Announced Bramhall’s Ian King as his team made a solid start.
The Prestbury ‘A’ team won last year and Chris Adams, Garry Titchen, Club Captain Martin Prescott and Mark Richardson gave them a great start to the 2026 Algarvian Classic with 86 points. There were birdies and eagles galore as they made the most of the stunning conditions.
The Mere team in second and Mick Mahons Myton Fold team in third are both looking good.
We visit Quinta North tomorrow – another gem of a golf course.
Keep off the red tonight – moving day tomorrow everyone.
Yours in golf and friendship,
Tim
