Maxitours at heavenly Halifax

Halifax is a really friendly traditional working-mans golf club and it was great to see the new Captain come down to make us feel very welcome. There are currently stand in caterers today and they worked so hard for us to give such tremendous service. They even had to pop out for more bread as the bacon baps were flying out. Thanks for supporting the host club. Brilliant.

James Braid and Alister Mackenzie both helped shape Halifax Golf Club into the rugged moorland masterpiece it is today.

The yellow course measured just 5,800 yards but with the elevations and rugged terrain it plays much longer. The raised greens and sloping surfaces meant scoring was tough on day one of the Yorkshire Classic.

The course humbles many and one of the five star reviews on trip advisor summed up today nicely: ‘If you’re not playing your best golf, look up and around; just smile, it’s beautiful.’

The Hale team of John Webb, Dave Madely, Paul Hunter and Craig Rae are getting older. They are staying in Harrogate tonight home of the famous Viper room nightclub A few years ago they would have been banging the door down to get in. This year they are planning a visit to Bettys tea room instead.

The average score today was over par and this was in perfect conditions! This course must be a monster when the wind blows.

Only one team scored in the eighties. The Moor Park team came up from the Midlands to play and General Manager Gary Leek made the only birdie of the day on the 18th as they picked up two points to take the lead. Lee Fellows, Mal Thomson and Nick Gamble were his team mates as they scored 81 points.

Andy Corrigan – son of Ex Man City goalkeeper Joe showed his sporting prowess to lie in a tie for second place playing alongside Malc Bates, Cliff Hayes and Stuart Smith. The Tytherington team of Steve Dow, Malcolm Kendrick, Julian Brindley and Nick Coleman also had 79 points.

With half the field within ten shots of the lead it’s all to play for tomorrow!

Maxitours at cracking Crosland Heath

It was a real pleasure to play Crosland Heath today. Everyone had a terrific day and loved their visit to this high quality Yorkshire Golf Course.

Prestbury’s Mark Pretty was very impressed indeed.
‘It was like playing a top course in Surrey out there today. Lovely moorland turf and stunning heather. The course was superb.’
‘Brilliant, Brilliant, golf course!’ Declared knowledgeable Simon Poucher
‘That is a terrific golf course!’ Reported well-travelled Mark Foley.

It was great to see Pete Short back playing Maxitours again. He had major heart surgery in October but looks fitter than ever. Due to incredible scientific advances a bit of his heart was replaced during an eight hour operation using the heart from a pig.
‘Are you back playing well?’ I asked him.
‘No my golf is terrible, but I can smell a truffle from 100 yards away.’ Grunted the hilarious Davyhulme man.

Scoring was close as the sloping greens took their toll throughout the day.
Fifth place went to Kev Hart, Pete Moss and Mark Foley with 80 points narrowly pipped by Geoff Bickerton, Steve Booth, Mark Richardson and Dave Griffin.
Andy Hamlett, Richard Blackwell (fresh from his return from his trip of a lifetime at the Masters) Gary Smith and Steve Austin took 3rd place with 81 points.
Second place went to Gary Neiles, John Colquitt, Martyn Molyneaux and Rob Price with 82 points. Two points on the 107 yard 14th hole proved costly.
It was Phil Dickens, John Cross, Neil Evans and Paul Robinson who took first place today. Likeable Paul Robinson had some day. First thing this morning he reversed his car into his gatepost. Then on the 18th hole he hooked his approach and smashed the Clubhouse window. As it was double glazed his ball bounced just short of the green and he got up and down for a vital par.

Thanks to everyone for your support.
It sounded like everyone had a memorable day on this cracking golf course.

Maxitours at “Lovely” Llangollen

Thanks to everyone who was able to make it today, Llangollen is always a great venue to come to and also to my good friend and PGA Pro Matt Turnock who ran today’s event.

A relatively calm, mild sunny day was a welcome relief for today’s Maxitour players after the bitterly cold winds of the previous day.

The course was in “great condition” and “surprisingly dry” were some of the comments which is a testament to all the hard work that Llangollen’s green keepers do.

The benign conditions made for good scoring opportunities with many excellent scores although poor according to old Sam Leach his team “we couldn’t buy a putt” but still had a great day. On the flip side Gary Niels managed the unusual feet of holing a 90 foot birdie putt on the 16th hole but hit it from the 1st green that runs adjacent and is divided by a small strip of semi rough – well done Gary think that counts as a 0 putt for your stats !!!!!!

Top team today with a fantastic 88 points and taking advantage of the best of the morning conditions was Jim Calwell, John Roome, Liam Pilkington and Don Bailey. Jim and John now has three shot handicap reduction after recent excellent form, Well played chaps.

Today’s results were:

2’s – £222.50 pot = 8 x Pro V1’s or 10 x Taylor Made TP5’s or 16 Srixon AD333’s
Warren Newton, Tony O’Gara, Barry Littler, Nick Coleman, Danny Swarbrick & Steve Rourke (Eagle 2 on par 4 2nd)

Room at Alistair Mackenzies Crosland Heath Tuesday April 14th – very few places nicer to play in April!

Next years Hilton Head/Masters trip filling nicely.

Groups of 4 players ideal. Play at Hilton head and three other incredible courses – then watch the Masters practice day.- Or extend your trip to watch a tournament round. Contact me for more details

Maxitours at stunning Stockport

Stockport was in excellent condition for our event today. There were heavy localised showers overnight and in the early morning and it was even looking debatable as whether the course would open. But recent drainage work and a very positive green keeper saw us start play on time.

The greens were even cut and ironed and the bunkers were raked to perfection. Incredible.

Thanks to all the green keepers for their hard work.

There was a cool wind blowing this morning. Mark Richardson didn’t feel the cold because he was wearing his new Galvin green snood which he won recently.

‘It was so good it kept both my chins warm.’ Joked the expanding Prestbury man.

As the day went on the course was drying up before your eyes. Another thing drying up were points on John Webbs team scorecard. They were in contention with 41 points on the front nine but got blown away as the wind picked up on the closing nine as they came home in just 32.

The clubhouse food at Stockport has moved up a few levels and the caterers now serve first class hearty golf club food.

John Colquitt had the full English breakfast and it was so big he said it took him five holes to recover.

A better back nine saw a top ten finish for the likeable Sandiway man.

Those players in the middle of the field had the best conditions as the morning teams had to contend with blustery showers passing through and late in the day as the sunshine arrived so did the wind and scores plummeted.

Fourth places went to top musician Lewis Marland and his team. Lewis can stop fiddling with his organ and regularly sends me tunes he has recorded via whatsapp. He is excellent. Today he was hitting all the right notes with his putter as the team scored a solid 87 points.

High Legh’s big hitting Graham Foster, Phil Hilton, John Stanworth and Kevin Donnely made the most of the shorter course and returned 88 points to take third.

Ashton in Makerfields Tony Hope has turned himself into a top player. After a third place last week he was second this week narrowly missing out on a card play off. Brother Ben, Gary Hankinson and Lyndon Winter completed the team.

Winning today after a quiet few months was Dave Rhodes, Lee Tilley, intelligent Pate Norbury and Ian Hogg. A strong finish saw Hogg Birdie the seventeenth before Rhodes picked up a vital three points on the last hole.

Well played everyone.

Thanks for your 100% attendance.

Yours in Golf

The exclusive course has USGA greens and they are recognised as the best all year round surfaces in Cheshire. They were excellent once again today.

There is a terrific feel to the Club, ex-Marine Russ behind the bar is class and highly respected pro Bill Tye is recognised as the best club fitter in the area and runs a brilliant pro shop.

The stunning new course opened 1993 when it was moved due to security reasons. The original course was constructed in 1918 on the Eaton estate to help injured soldiers rebuild their lives. There is a touching statue near the clubhouse to remember these brave men.

I had a phone call from one of my players this week telling me that there were two Eaton golf courses in England.
‘Are we playing the course near Chester or Norwich?’ He asked.
Take a wild guess.

Eighty two year old Veteran Dave Cooper turned up this morning looking great as usual.
‘Am I the oldest man in the field today?’ He asked.
‘You are the oldest guy in the field every week ‘I reassured him.
Ten minutes later John Linsky from Birchwood walked in.
‘Is it free for me today – it’s my 86th birthday tomorrow?’ What a great game this is. These men are living a proper life. I love it.

Another lovely old bloke playing today was Ross Bunting. He turned up late after taking a detour via ElIesmere Port and Chester Zoo.
‘Why didn’t you use sat nav?’ I asked.
‘I don’t like modern technology, I really enjoy getting lost all by myself.’
When he finished his round I asked him how he was getting home?
‘I’m following that man.’ He said pointing to one of his team mates in the car park.
‘Does he live near you?’
‘I’ve no idea.’

Mick Mahon and Barry Wilson took nearest the pins after excellent shots into the short holes.
Phil Dickens team had the best back nine of the day coming home in 47 points. Unfortunately they only had 33 points going out.

Taking the early lead were Birchwoods Peter Fildes, Tony Hope, Mike Roberts and Mike Tinsley with a great 84 points. Two solid 9’s of 42 points saw the likeable quartet eventually finish third.

Hazel grove solicitor and all round nice guy Simon Ashton(8) led his team of Mick Jones(8), Dan Moss(3) and Rick Booth(11) into second place also with 84 points. A dropped shot on the 17th proved costly…

Prestburys Geoff Bickerton(4) lives in the shadow of his Algarvian Classic winning wife Jacqui but every dog has his day and today was Geoffs’ day. His team came home in 45 points gathering 6 gross birdies between them. Mark Richardson(2) shot -2 himself and Steve Booth(7) and Andy Russell(9) also chipped in their fair share. Well played guys – a terrific performance on a beautiful golf course.

I hope you all had a wonderful day.
Thanks so much
Tim
