Maxitours at beautiful Vale Royal
A warm January day with plenty of sunshine greeted today’s Maxitours competitors at beautiful Vale Royal in the heart of Cheshire. Ian Embury the General Manager Looks like he has lost weight this Christmas and he and his top staff made us feel very welcome indeed.
Fresh faced Trevor Houghton is 50 years old tomorrow; unfortunately he can’t begin his celebrations early after he could only manage a dismal 35 points today.
In today’s event Bob Sinclair and Dave Stenton from Alsager were delighted to take the over 60’s seniors prize with a superb 43 points on this high quality but testing golf course.
‘Carpet Bob’ Kwan made a rare appearance on Maxitours today. The Macclesfield flooring tycoon was seen taking notes as he had rarely sees such smooth well laid surfaces when he is at work. He scored 41 points playing alongside his carpet fitting son Robert.
John Aikenhead’s building work is usually far superior to his golf. However an unusually good start to his round at Vale Royal today gave him some solid foundations on which to construct his round. He teamed up with taxi driver Steve Ford and they drove away with 3rd position after they collected 44 points.
Denton’s Jim Cox teamed up with Ian Gibson who owns a big insulation company. Gibson is famous for normally LAGGING his putts. Today both putters were hot and the likeable duo knocked in their fair share of putts on the way to 44 points and 4th place.
Second place went to the consistent pairing of Gary Garner and Mark Green who scored an excellent 45 points.
Republic of Ireland legend Frank Stapleton has played some great golf so far this winter, today he teamed up with best selling author Dave Wilson and they scored a superb 47 points. ‘We putted great’ said the legendary Irishman as he tried to hold back the tears during his acceptance speech.
Many thanks to Shotsaver for their terrific continued Maxitours support.
