On Friday, 12 September, 22 teams gathered at the stunning Espiche course for a Texas Scramble competition under clear blue skies. The course, with its rolling fairways and panoramic views, provided the perfect stage for some brilliant golf, and the scores didn’t disappoint.

After an exciting day on the greens, players gathered for a BBQ buffet at the clubhouse. Guests were then treated to a special appearance from John Aldridge and Jason McAteer, who shared unforgettable stories from their Liverpool and Ireland days, keeping everyone laughing and well entertained.

It was a privilege to yet again be part of this amazing event and thanks goes to the entire Espiche team, from the beautifully maintained course to the friendly staff and ice-cold refreshments that kept players smiling and spirits high. It was a day that perfectly captured the essence of the event: great golf, great company, and a great cause.

The competition continued on Saturday, 13 September, at Boavista Golf, where teams battled it out in the Am-Am 2 scores to count format. The Peak Top Agency team: Keith Hill, Kevin Carney, Robert Lelonek, and Lee Birchall emerged as the overall champions with an impressive 93 points, securing their place in the tournament’s history.


Following the final round, guests enjoyed another BBQ feast before comedian Willie Miller brought the house down with his trademark humour, leading into a lively charity auction. With items ranging from signed football memorabilia to exclusive VIP experiences, the auction raised over €12,000, helping the weekend’s fundraising total reach over €20,000 for local charities.

Both days, at Espiche and Boavista, proved why the John Aldridge Charity Golf Classic is more than just a golf tournament, it’s a celebration of sport, community, and generosity under the Algarve sun.
