The course was a delight for the many birdwatchers and trainspotters amongst the Maxitours players. Brian Hopkins kept a lookout for the resident peregrine falcons as he searched for Alan Pengellys ball deep in the shrubs on the 7th hole. Trainspotter Steve Gill jotted down a couple of engine numbers as playing partner Chris Meikleham nearly hit the 8.45 commuter train to Bury with a vicious hook as he played the 5th hole. A few holes later a big slice sent Chris’ ball over the railway fence once again, this time his ball narrowly missing the 10.45 to Blackpool . The scoring was excellent all day, Ray Massey playing with Paul Woodcock hit a majestic nine iron to three feet to set up a birdie on the 18th hole and Gary Garner playing with his big hitting son David hit his 7 iron even closer as both players helped their pairings to record 44 points. ‘Carpet Bob Kwan’ (who is not as daft as he looks) whilst selling unsuspecting punter Andrew Westwell a quality carpet last year, discovered he was a scratch player at Pleasington. A little light came on in Bobs head- ‘this is the man for me!’ thought Bob. Kwan sold Andy a top of the range carpet but more importantly he persuaded him to play with him in todays event. The two combined superbly and Kwans birdies on the 5th and 16th holes backed up the classy Westwells sparkling golf as both players recorded their first maxitours win with a wonderful 45 points. Well played chaps. On form Rob Weston and Trevor Webb from Knutsford were on fire for twelve holes however an average finish saw the likeable grey haired double act just scrape into the top ten. All todays players were entered into the two’s sweep and this caused Neville Dennis and Alan Clough to get over-excited as they waited to hear what the reward would be as they both recorded perhaps the first twos of their career. Alan sat near the recording table for most of the afternoon and looked devastated each time a two was registered, ‘Bloody hell -how many balls am I going to get now?’ he sniffed. Big Neville Dennis left several answer phone messages as my phone kept ringing on the drive home. ‘as everyone finished?’ ‘ow many twos was thee?’ ‘ow many balls will ah git?’ ‘where the hell are ya!’ pestered local legend Neville. Ross Birch, Moby Rawthore, John Davies, Paul Bradley, Andy Lawman and Dave Bowers all played well to be in the prizes. Many thanks to all who supported todays event.
