Maxwell Martin shines on the Challenge Tour
On the 20th July, Maxwell Martin took part in his very first Challenge Tour event - Big Green Egg German Challenge which was powered by VcG based at Wittelsbacher Golf club in Germany, which is fifty minutes outside of Munich.
Finishing 11th overall, this marks a huge achievement for the future, playing against a strong competition which featured Spain’s Manuel Elvira and Italy’s Francesco Laporta, who went on to win.
The champion holes covering 6,775 metres are a unique sporting challenge.
Maxwell said:
“ It went really well, I’m proud to think I finished 11th in a top class event, playing in swirling winds which everyone struggled with. I was a little apprehensive going in to this tournament, and was 37th going into the final round. I couldn’t have played any better, it was my birthday weekend as well, so we had plenty to celebrate.
Up next:
The focus now for Maxwell will be on the Clutch Tour, playing in the event 9-11 August at Slaley Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort. The eventual winner will have to overcome the Hunting Course’s stern challenge if they are to earn victory during the special tournament.
Slaley Hall has a fruitful relationship with professional golf, as it has hosted notable events throughout its expansive history, including 20+ European Tour, Senior Tour and PGA Cup events, with the most recent professional involvement coming from the PGA EuroPro Tour.
Furthermore, Slaley Hall welcomed the Asian Tour in 2022; the venue was the first to feature in the International Series in England.
