Maxitours at Knutsford Golf Club

Glorious sunshine and a gentle breeze greeted today’s players at leafy Knutsford Golf Club today. Mark Dingle and his hard working team are fast becoming recognised as some of the finest green keepers in Cheshire.

Everyone was very complimentary about the condition of the golf course. ‘Those greens were really good it was a shame it took my team five shots to reach them’ commented Richard Palmer.

‘I wish our greens were like those’ complained one of today’s players who will remain nameless, ‘our green keeper just bought a new machine to improve the greens at our course -its a digger.’

Ben Luscombe tried to cheer himself up before play today. ‘I am afraid my handicap is only 18 but did you know the average british handicap is 22?’ Unfortunately Ben’s game was well below average today as he let his more talented team down.

Warren Loynes loves nothing more than watching period dramas with his wife on Sunday evenings. He really enjoyed pressing the button on the bar to attract the stewardess from her living quarters ‘Its like Downton Abbey in here’ he happily declared. The rest of his team also had fun pressing the buzzer as they got sozzled in the post round afternoon sun.

In today’s event Scoring was very average considering the excellent conditions. There was a solid performance from the Hazel Grove team of Ian Ainsworth(12), Terry Davison(9), Alan Clough(17) and Geoff Haynes(6) who were delighted to finish in 3rd place with 78 points.

Barry Jackson(4) and his Ashton on Mersey side of Dave Beavis(20), Lance Amison(11) and Steve Tate(24) were also shocked to finish second. ‘my team were hopeless out there’ said a stunned Jackson.

Taking todays honours was Mr nice guy Dave Stanhope(12) playing alongside his pal Jim Wardle(10). Bizarrely, with the world cup starting in Brazil tonight these two actually met playing keepy-up football on a beach in Cornwall. The other two members of the team were Knutsford members Joe Stanley(6) and Phil ‘please don’t tell anyone I missed a 9 inch putt on the 15th ‘ Smeathers(7). Joe gave his team a real boost when he made a birdie on the 9th after driving the green on the 307 yard hole.

Well played chaps, very good golf.
Thanks to all who played today. Yours in golf, Tim
