Galvin Green Masters at Conwy Golf Club

Maxitours at Classy Conwy sponsored by Jon Gallagher and Galvin Green

A stunning day greeted over 100 Maxitours golfers who travelled down the A55 today.
Spring was most definitely in the air and the Masters is just over a month away.
It’s my favourite time of the year.

There was a cool breeze for the early starters this morning but by the time the last group finished this evening there was barely a breath of wind and conditions were idyllic.

‘Loved it!’ Beamed Mark Pretty
‘So great to get some run out there!’ Reported Steve Aspinall.

Munro Donald was at it again. In Portugal he lost his mizuno 6 iron head cover among other things. He had a memorable double when he lost the very same headcover today. He also lost his mat.

Shane Lowry showed us last night why golf is the toughest game. We all thought he had nerves of steel when he secured the Ryder Cup last Autumn with a classy 12 foot putt. Last night he finally showed us he was human after blowing a three shot lead on the last three holes.

Scoring really improved with the weather late in the day and John Lee, Paul Woods, Keith White and Paul Barton who teed off at midday were delighted to take the lead with 85 points.
This was bettered with a very strong back nine of 46 points by Norrie Erwin, Roger Percival., Jim Clarke and Graham Jackson.

Paul Price has played nearly every event for the last five years and I think this may be his first ever victory. His Wychwood Park team had a superb 87 points and Paul was the main man picking up five shots on his own. Excellent.
Thank you for your 100% attendance today and support of the caterers. Superb.

Yours in golf, Tim

Results from marvellous Mottram Hall

Maxitours at “Marvellous” Mottram Hall

A calm and mild day was a welcome relief for today’s Maxitours players after the bitterly cold winds of the last few days.
The course was in “great condition” and “surprisingly dry” were some of the comments which is a testament to all the hard work that Mottram’s green keeping staff do.
Andy Taylor’s Team were hoping for a repeat of their last visit a few weeks ago when Andy Parrington scored one of only two 2’s that day but this time it was Andy Taylor himself who produced the goods with two 2’s along with Andy Myers and Richard Blackwell.
The benign conditions made for good scoring opportunities with many excellent scores today.
Just edged out at the top on a card count back were the team of Steve Williams, Archie Higgins, James and Gavin Connor with a fantastic 89 points (43 back 9) to the eventual winners Steve Austin, Gary Smith, Richard Blackwell and Andy Hamlett (44 back 9).

Thanks to everyone who was able to make the last minute switch to Mottram Hall who are always great hosts and to my good friend and PGA Pro Matt Turnock who ran today’s event and produced tghe report. Top man..

Today’s results were:

2’s – £155 pot = 4 x Pro V1’s or 5 x Taylor Made TP5’s or 9 Srixon AD333’s
Andy Taylor x 2, David Arthur, Steve Best, Mick Mahon, Richard Blackwell x 2, Mark Tighe and Andy Myers x 2

NP 7th – Richard Palmer 1 x Doz AD333’s
NP 11th – Iain Cole 1 x Doz AD333’s
