Dear Maxitours player,

Here are todays scores from the wonderful Quinta South course. Early morning rain gave way to a pleasant afternoon. Tomorrow is forecast wall to wall sunshine.

Jim Clarkes team take a five shot lead into the final day but there are several teams set to make a move on the Quinta North course tomorrow. (please note tomorrows start times are next to your overall score.)

Transfers are approximately 1 hr 15 minutes before your times.

Thanks for your patience today, early morning rain meant the early groups before our party on the course were slower than expected.

Have a great night, Tim

Here are Day 2 scores – 3 teams are to complete their rounds in the morning

Overall scores

*Space for 1 team at Vale Royal on Weds 22nd

Maxitours at Stunning Laranjal Golf Course

Wow, what a great day!
Incredible weather, an absolutely class golf course and a wonderful group of golfers made it a day in paradise for Maxitours players today.

‘Magnificent!’ Reported Ian Gemmell
‘That’s the best course on the Algarve!’ Declared Chris Hammond
‘Does it get any better than this?’ Beamed Richard Palmer
‘That was the most enjoyable round of golf I have ever had’ Announced Dave Westwood (who has had his fair share of bad rounds.)

The course was playing easier than usual with calm sunny conditions and fast running fairways. There is a Hairdresser in Quinta shopping centre who also sells second hand pro V1s. I was tempted to do a deal with him when I had my haircut last week. Hundreds of balls are usually lost in this event but the quality of the golf was such by my players I think he will have to stick to selling overpriced shampoo instead.

Simon Hemsley turned his holiday around today with some great golf. Things got off to a troubled start when he elbowed a complete stranger as he put his luggage in the overhead compartment on his outbound flight, he then got stung by a wasp early on in his round today. He managed to elbow his way onto the leader board with some excellent golf as his team took 3rd place overall with 81 points.

Jim Clarkes team are defending their title and they had a solid start with 82 points but they were pipped on the back nine after some great play from Allan Browns team which included Bramall’s Andy Bennett. Andy had the round of his life culminating in his first ever hole in one on the 17th with a solid five iron which gently fell into the cup. Congratulations.

If any players are after a free drink and are wondering what Andy looks like I will happily point him out to you later. He helped his team also including Mike Brown and Neil Worthington to a surprise victory with 82 points

Kev Harts team is currently in 2nd last place. But apparently it’s not his fault.

Tomorrow we play the fabulous Quinta do Lago South course. This beautiful course is Mrs Maxwells favourite especially after she easily defeated her husband there last week. It’s a cracker.

Dear maxitours player

I have just spoken to highly rated Warrington head greenkeeper John Mc Coughlin and he is confident that unless we get more rain that the golf course will be open tomorrow

I will update my website at 8.30 am but the forecast looks very favourable

There may be 1 temporary green in operation

Dear Maxitours players

I have room for a pair on Wednesday at Warrington. The course is always in super condition over the winter.

Thanks Tim
