Maxitours Galvin Green Spring Classic at the marvellous Mere
A big field of talented golfers (and also Andy Strickleys team with a meagre 57 points) really enjoyed their golf at the Mere today.
The fairways were in great condition considering more recent heavy rain and it is clear that Gwen and his expert greens staff are working hard and the course will be in real tip top condition this Summer.
Golf Manager Max and his Clubhouse team were also excellent to work with and looked after us extremely well throughout the day, thank you.
The Mere event is always popular with it’s terrific golf course, great Galvin Green prizes, the exciting start of the golf season and plenty of wealthy Cheshire Housewives knocking about to keep players entertained throughout the day. Roy Ainsworth is even considering some Botox treatment himself after spending all day at this country club.
In a Maxitours first three brothers played in today’s event. Nick, Mark and Warren Simister. They didn’t play together and it was the youngest sibling Nick who has the bragging rights finishing in third place with 84 points.
Ian Marchants’(9) Wolstanton Golf Club team finished second also with 84 points Danny Clayton (8) Richard Peake(12) and ‘You tube sensation’ Dave Sayer(8). Please go to ‘you tube’ and type ‘golfer with head stuck in bin’ and you will see Dave’s claim to fame. I will say no more…
Taking first place was Wilmslows’ Jim Caldwell(11) who was out first this morning at 8am and set a Clubhouse target that stood the test of time Congratulations also to John Hume(13) Dave Thomas(16) and Don Bailey(12) who completed the successful team. Sergio Garcia needs to take a few tips from John on how to stay out of the water. The seventy year old thinned his tee shot which skimmed over the surface of the pond on the 3rd and rolled to the front edge of the green before two putts ensured a regulation par.
In the two day Galvin Green Spring Classic event Man City fan Simon Hemsley restored some self confidence after a disastrous week on the football pitch with a third place finish playing alongside Gareth Bradley(+1) Joe Kirwan(5) and Ian King(7)
Mottram Hall’s lovely man Richard Blackwell(11), Dan Moore(21), John Hilton(12) and Andy Hamlett(7) took second place with rounds of 87 on Monday and 81 today.
It was the Shrigley Hall quartet of Brian Hopkins(4), Mark Taylor(9) George Bresnahan(14) and Mike Powwon the Galvin Green Spring Classic with a better last day after adding 83 points to their 85 point haul at Stockport on Monday- great golf chaps!
Thanks to Cheshire Golfing legend John Gallagher from Galvin Green for his terrific sponsorship this week.
We all know Galvin Green is by far the best product on the market place – Never Compromise!
Thanks to you all for your terrific support, Tim
