Maxitours Footjoy Masters At Vale Royal.
A field of nearly 100 Maxitours competitors enjoyed playing in the Footjoy Masters at the wonderful Vale Royal course today. Many thanks, to my good friend Matt Turnock for running the event so well whilst I am battling through the Florida thunderstorms.
As I am away I have no idea about any sports news, I am not too bothered who won the premiership however does anyone know if Kenny Dalgliesh has made any new signings for Liverpool?
Thanks to Bob Bardsley from Footjoy for his Sponsorship of todays event.
Matt’s report is below:
All went well here at sunny Vale Royal Abbey. Ross Birch made the comment as he walked into register that Tim was looking younger and more hansome than he had ever seen him, then realised it was me (honestly it must be the smoke getting in his eyes). Much debating was made by groups as to whether or not to enter the 2’s and for quite a few it was a costly mistake in underestimating their abilities with no fewer than ten players making 2 but only five of them had entered the sweep. Most frustrated must have surely been Roger Percival who made an eagle on the 246 yard 3rd Par 4. Steve Parle’s team came back in a magnificent 40 points to make sure they did not prop up the rest of the field after a horrendous 28 point haul on the front 9 “we were determined not to come last” was their parting comment showing the Man City never give up attitude.
The battle for the spoils was hard contested with Moby Rawthore’s team of Guds Ahmed, Ross Birch and Ian Grogan coming out on top with an impressive 88 points followed closely by Gary Garner, Ray Ward, Geoff Cogswell and George Gregson with 85 points with third place going to Charles Herbert, Mark Richardson, Alan Pengelly and Barry Horricks with 84.
All players said the course was in amazing condition and the Vale Royal staff were very helpful throughout the whole day
