Maxitours Shotsaver Pairs at Reddish Vale

Dr Alister Mackenzie majically plied his trade over 100 years ago on the rolling Cheshire fairways of Reddish Vale in Stockport. Designing a golf course with such high quality sloping fairways and meandering river was superb preparation for the Augusta masterpiece he built 15 years or so later.
I am sure he would be impressed to see the way his course was presented so magnificently by the Reddish green keepers and satisfied to see his masterpiece enjoyed by so many golfers today.

Everyone at this lovely historic club were extremely friendly and host professional Andy Myers is always a real pleasure to deal with.

As we all know there were three massively important ballots taking place today.
Firstly, there was the welcome news that the R and A moved into the 21st century when their members backed the positive decision to allow female members into their club.
Secondly, without hungry Dave Antrobus in their regular four ball to sway the vote Dave Stanhope’s team made the incorrect decision not to partake in a pre round bacon sandwich. ‘These are in the top 3 bacon butties I have ever tasted’ claimed bacon bap expert Phil Vokes from a rival team.
Thirdly, all of Scotland voted in their referendum for independence today. Scotsman Dave McCallum desperately wished on more than one occasion that he was independent after helplessly watching on as playing partner Kevin Barker struggled to master the lightening fast greens.

Frank Hindle was another to struggle on the superb greens which were running at 12 on the stimp meter. ‘He hit the ball further with his putter than with his driver on several holes’ complained playing partner John Farnworth.

Henry Cotton was a great admirer of the Reddish Vale course and he loved the 16th hole describing it as ‘the best looking, most fair and probably the most difficult hole I have ever played’. Kevin Hamilton(scr) found it no problem as he made a three on his way to an impressive 4th place finish playing alongside the likeable Paul Dalby(4).

Sale Golf Club’S senior duo Guy Hall(11) and Keith Coxon(11) only scored 1 point on the famous 16th hole. Guy then showed his fighting spirit with excellent pars on the final two holes to take 5th place also with 41 points.

Maxitours nice guys Barry Jackson(4) and Steve Yates from Ashton on Mersey finished late in the day and they were delighted to finish in a career best 3rd spot. Poulton Park’s Mike Delooze(9) and Phil Lockett(7) were devastated to miss out on victory by a single shot. Phil called for a local taxi to take him home after three putting from inside a yard at the last!

Taking today’s honours were Bramall’s Alan Demmy(9) and Patrick Keenan(17) with 43 points. Neither player recorded a gross birdie all day however the wealthy duo were one of the few teams to master the Augusta- like greens and a great team effort saw the popular duo win a superb shotsaver watch each.

With the Ryder Cup just over a week away it is expected that both teams will compete at 110% yet play in the true spirit of the game, many thanks to all Maxitours players today for also playing with such respect for this terrific game. Thanks to Shotsaver for their marvellous continued sponsorship.
Come on Europe!

( Pete Short used to train spot when he was a child, nowadays he collects golf scorecards and needs to find a golf club beginning with the letter X to complete his collection. If anyone can help please let me know.)
