Maxitours at humid Vale Royal.
The finest December days golf in Maxitours history saw over 100 golfers enjoy this superb golf course. In the final event of the year the temperature was in the mid teens.
‘It was great to see the sun!’ remarked pasty faced Neil Higgins when he finished his round.
‘There were daffodils coming up out there!’ said Graham Fernley who must have had too much to drink at the office party last night.
Even Frank Hindle couldn’t find anything to complain about.
Vale Royal just gets better and better and as many players were splashing around in mud on their home courses the firm Vale Royal fairways were enjoyed by today’s full field. Many thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance.
Paul Hodgson was delighted with the underfoot conditions. ‘Look my trousers are completely dry’ said the chirpy Wychwood man . ‘There’s lots of mud on them though’ spotted playing partner Dave Peake. ‘That’s been there for a few weeks’ explained the scruffy but very likeable social worker.
Gav Dixon from Staffordshire enjoyed the warm weather which is set to last for a few weeks. ‘They will be firing up the barbeques on Christmas day in Stoke.’ Predicted the Trentham man.
In today’s event excellent greens and a slightly shorter than usual course saw some low scoring. Even Steve Johnsons team scored 77 points and they are usually hopeless.
Frank Stapleton’s team took 5th slot with 85 points and this was narrowly beaten by Chris Adam’s Prestbury team who scored 86 points.
Third place went to Dave Sarsfield(18), Lee Tilley(10) Pete Norbury(18) and Dave Rhodes(16). Rhodes has had a terrible run of form over the past two seasons and he gets so down about his golf that his team bought him some velcro golf shoes as he couldn’t be left alone in the clubhouse after his round with his laces. Today he had the best round of his life and recorded SIX gross birdies. ‘It was a shame the rest of my team was so bad’ said the talented Oldham man.
Low handicappers Ed Wilkinson(6), Roger Percival(6) , Martin France(4) and Pete Atherton(11) are playing much better this year than previous seasons and once again they were near the top of the leader board with an impressive 89 points.
Taking the honours today was Denton’s Jim Cox(2), Ian George(6), Dave Collinson(6) and Steve Jenkinson(10) with a terrific score of 18 under par. Jim Cox’ only previous win was in the shortened nine hole event at Wilmslow and many people questioned his ability to win over 18 holes. In fact he was terrible over the back nine but Ian George and Dave Collinson were on fire as they came home in 48 points. Well played chaps great golf!
Happy Christmas to all my players and I hope you have enjoyed playing my events as much as I have enjoyed running them. I wish you all good health and plenty of golfing success in the New Year.
Thanks for your support. Yours in Golf, Tim.
