BY JOÃO DOS REIS
These two famous golfers, who have already passed away, Christopher Stilwell on the left and João Silva, right, made history in Algarve golf, the first with one of the most powerful and influential golf administrators in the Algarve, whom much the region was owed for its tireless dynamism in promoting and organising major national and international tournaments. These events took place in the area administered.
João Silva was another great figure who supported golf in the Algarve. We know these two great gentlemen well, the first as the administrator of several companies connected to golf and the latter as a good friend and player with whom I have shared many rounds on virtually every field in the Algarve and a few times in the rest of the country.
Whenever João and I attended a tournament, he always gave me a good Cuban cigar, the famous Cohiba, which I loved smoking. Also, I like my traditional pipe, which I never separated myself from. Like a present, one day João stopped smoking Cohiba cigars, which allowed me to get the ones he was no longer smoking. It was the old days of a lot of friendship and companionship.
Remember is to live…
