Maxitours at superb Sandiway

Maxitours made the short journey from sunny Stockport into deepest Cheshire for the second round of the Summer Classic at Sandiway. Glorious weather and an even more glorious golf course meant there were plenty of happy golfers drinking San Miguel on the veranda after play.

Thanks to all the staff at this first class five star golf venue for your superb hospitality and thanks to highly rated General Manager Anthony Roberts who runs a very tight ship.

After the round there were plenty of comments:
‘Terrific day ‘ beamed John Dickenson
‘That was brilliant – what a course’ chirped Mike Gauden
‘I love it here’ crooned Dave Stanhope.
‘I’m giving this game up’ muttered Steve Parle.

There were a record three Maxitours golfers who turned up this morning wearing work clothes in an attempt to deceive their better halves. ‘My wife’s at home looking after our three kids – it’s the Summer holidays and she is slowly losing it.’ chuckled one unnamed player. ‘ There was absolutely no way I would be granted a pass’.

Terry Harper told me that he was playing in his last event of the year before he sets off on a two month cruise with his wife. Unfortunately for Mrs Harper things aren’t as glamorous as they may at first appear. After further questioning Terry revealed that he has got a barge and is looking forward to exploring the many delightful waterways that Birmingham has to offer…I don’t want to interfere but I think Mrs Harper may prefer the Caribbean Terry.

The likeable Grange Park low handicap team of Ray Tennant(5), Leigh Smart(1), Billy Rawsthore(6) and Andy Jackson(5) set the early pace with an excellent 86 points. Ray is famous for splitting fairways with his Taylor Made Driver – ‘I bet you drive in the middle lane of the motorway’ chuckled one of his partners in the bar after play.

Seventy year old Ray Ward(16) from Hindley Hall teamed up with Forest of Arden’s Damien Jakes (7)and father and son Jordan(5) and Gary Garner(6) to take first place with 87 points,. Despite dropping a shot on the 17th hole they managed to hold on to take their first win of the season, Well played chaps.

Thr 36 hole event was incredibly close with the top four teams scoring 165 over the two days! A strong showing by the Garry Smith Blakely team on the final day when they scored 85 points saw them take first place on a card play-off- Congratulations!
Mick Mahon’s Mytton Fold team took second, Ian Kings Bramall team finished third and Dave Bowers team were 4th.

Many thanks to Carus Green resort for their sponsorship, I am staying at this great venue in Kendal with my family for a couple of days next week. The accommodation is brilliant and the course is a real pleasure to play. I recommended it to Roy Ainsworth last year and he went in May and is going again in September. ‘ its absolutely brilliant’ said his pal Brian Ankers from Lymm Golf Club.

Thank you for your support these last two days, I hope you enjoyed your golf as much as I enjoyed running the event. I am having website issues which I hope to resolve tomorrow- sorry for any inconvenience!

Yours in Golf,
Tim
