The latest Clarion Wealth Planning Order of Merit is below, Prestbury’s Greg Norman/Robert Redford on a bad day lookalike Geoff Bickerton heads the way with just 5 events to go

Results from ridiculously good Ringway

Room at Llangollen next Friday- a must play course in the British Isles. Don’t miss this one!

Maxitours at ridiculously good Ringway

Ringway is on the up and up. The Club is managed superbly and has a first class golf course, a state of the art Clubhouse and outstanding practice facilities for its members. No wonder there is a long waiting list.

Well done to Tracy and her team and the Ringway members for all their forward thinking and hard work.

The greens are gaining a ‘best in the area’ reputation and the views over Manchester city centre as you play the 17th and 18th holes were quite spectacular in todays dazzling Autumn sunshine.

Prestbury’s Steve Hall needs to get in the gym. When he finished his round of golf he looked tired and ordered a pint of Moretti. He had to use both hands to lift it to his lips.
‘Are you ok Steve?’I asked
‘Its very heavy’ He replied with wobbly arms. Maybe stick to the half pints next week Steve.

There was the first heavy dew of the season so the early starters played a longer course than players late in the day.
Father and son Rob and Andy Dean helped their team to a solid 5th place with 84 points.

The two teams from Prestbury teed off at 9am and incredibly both were leading for much of the day. Both teams scored 45 points on the easier front nine followed by 40 points on the tough back nine. Big hitting Steve Hall guided his quartet home with a strong final 6 holes to take 3rd place ahead of Carl Phelans fellow members team.

Taking 2nd place with 86 points were the three Bolton Adonis’s – Jenson Myerscough who looks like and has the name of a formula 1 driver, six foot six inches tall Italian Luca Denton, Gary Myerscough who’s quality genes produced Jensen and they teamed up with average looking John Dempsey. Dempsey (plus 1) can play golf though and he held the team together with some great play when the rest of the field faltered on the tough back nine.

Winning was the Hazel Grove quartet of Simon Ashton(11), Danny Moss(3), Dave Stewardson(13) and John Evans(14). They had a solid 44 points on the front nine before wobbling like an MFI wardrobe on the tough 14th 15th and 16th where the dropped a shot, however 6 points on the 17th and another pick up on the dangerous 18th hole saw the likeable fourball take their first win for three years.
They were delighted to win with just 87 points in perfect golfing conditions. Excellent golf chaps.

Thanks everyone for your unrivalled sportsmanship once again.

I hope you had a great day.

Tim

Results from first class Hopwood

Thanks to everyone at Hopwood for looking after us so well today.

The course and hospitality was up to its usual incredibly high standard.

Manchester golf club is now established as possibly the premier course in Manchester.

The report is shorter today as I have been playing. Thanks to Matt for taking over this afternoon.

It was good to see another heavyweight Frank Bruno at the Club this afternoon as he was the after dinner speaker at a Club function tonight.

Taking third place on the card play off was talented Simon Hartland, Peter Moores, Martin Williams and Lymms Rick Shaw with a hard fought 84 points. Rick has played for years without winning a prize for a different Maxitours team but he will be a delighted man tonight.

Jim Caldwells Wilmslow team took 2nd after a few quiet weeks with 85 points. Retired GP Martin Berrisford scored well on the front nine, Steve Barlow and Mike Slater also played well.

Winning today was the Shrigley Hall team Of Martin Firth, Eddie Geary, Thomas Hulley and Steve Mason with an excellent 87 points. They battled the windy afternoon conditions and picked up shots on the famously tough 15th 16th and 17th holes. Well played chaps. Excellent.

Thanks to everyone for your support, I gather there were some heavy localised showers in the afternoon. Your patience and integrity is appreciated as always.

Maxitours at Cracking Crewe

Another glorious day greeted Maxitours competitors at Crewe.

The course is found at the bottom of a leafy lane and is possibly the most peaceful golf course we play. There are plenty of ducks in the ponds and an occasional barn owl can sometimes be seen flying overhead as the evening draws in.
Crewe Golf Club is a lovely place to spend the day.

Claire and the chef produced some great fliers today with pictures of the various Maxitours specials they would have available. When the food came out it actually looked like the photographs. The catering was excellent.

Nigel Ashton has a bacon butty every week and he thought the one he had today was the best of the season. Praise indeed.
Claire and her catering staff were excellent hosts. Thank you.

The facilities are also first class. The driving range is huge- even I would struggle to lose a ball and the club continue to produce a steady flow of excellent junior and senior golfers.

Dave Britton is a lovely bloke and has enjoyed playing in his first few Maxitours events this year. His team scored 70 points today.
‘We left a few out there.’ He told me when he handed his team card in.
You’re not kidding Dave.

Hale Club champion David Smiths team scored a mediocre 72 points.
‘Did we beat Bob Siddles Hale B team?’ They asked anxiously when they handed the card in.
Everyone beat the Hale B team.

The swirling wind and tough to read greens meant scores in the low 80’s were leading for most of the day. Late in the day conditions eased and scores improved.
Nigel Hall, Jonny Reeves, Ben ‘Chilli Banana’ Jackson and Adam Hart had their best score of the season with 85 points. It was a great team effort but Harts stunning eagle on the short par four twelfth hole gave them a big boost as they finished in 3rd place.
The Eaton team also scored 85 points. Jonty Little, Doug Mackay, Neil Blacklock and Steve Jones came home in an impressive 44 points. Jonty played solidly on the strong back nine holes.

With a stunning 89 points three Prestbury millionaires and Steve Booth took first prize in style. Tim Nicholson(8) had four gross birdies, Geoff Bickerton (4) had three and even Andy Russell(10.3) had two. Steve’s main contribution was buying the drinks.
‘We were just on fire’ Said a delighted Bickerton. ‘What a great day!’

Excellent golf chaps. Very well played indeed!

Results from outstanding Vale Royal

*Room for teams at beautiful Crewe on Tuesday, Room for 1 team at Hopwood on Thursday.
Winter schedule released in 2 weeks.

Maxitours at outstanding Vale Royal

What a venue! Vale Royal was so good today even the course owner Steve Graham turned up to play. He should be a very proud man indeed. Vale Royal golf course is becoming a masterpiece.

After the recent dry spell the course was back to a beautiful lime green and the fairways and putting surfaces were superb.
‘That was an absolute pleasure to play.’ Reported Peter Maher.

The famous Vale Royal friendly fox was out again and it is becoming a bit of a tourist attraction.
‘I only play Vale Royal to see the fox. He’s like a tame dog, he’s a cracker.’ Reported wildlife lover Nigel Ashton.

Nearest the pins were won by two excellent shots. Simon Burrows hit a stunner to 20 inches on the 10th and under-rated Martin Quinn won nearest the pin on the 16th with another wonder strike.

Scoring was tough as the course was playing a little longer than usual.

My mate on the Europro tour always played with number 58 titliest balls as it was his goal to shoot that score every time he went out. It was a feat he never got close to achieving. Colin Baxendale is a lovely bloke and was a fine golfer when I knew him during my time at Mottram Hall. His team easily achieved that score today and it could’ve been even lower without steady Ian Jones on the team. They finished last by 9 shots.

After recent airport chaos plane spotter/ enthusiast Mal Potter had some air traffic control issues of his own today as his proV1 struggled to take off on a couple of fairways and he lost contact with three more as they disappeared off the radar into various Eaton ponds.

The two Eaton teams played well today for a change and finished 3rd and 4th . Jonty Little brought his team home in a remarkable best of the day 48 points to take 4th with 83 points, but experienced Neil Davies, Steve Jones, Paul Manning and Andy Parker pipped them with 84.

Geoff Bickerton, and father and son Gary and Jenson Myerscough took 2nd with 86 points Two birdies on the last put the icing on a great performance.
Taking the honours was Sean O’Connors(11) Sandiway team. Jim Barton(8), Phil Guest(6) and Paul Murray(10) all contributed well. Sean played well but twelve handicap Murray was mint as he recorded three birdies. Excellent golf chaps.

Thanks to everyone for your support today. Superb.
