Maxitours Welsh Classic at Conwy
What a fantastic two days of golf we have had in Wales.
I hope you enjoyed your golf as much as I enjoyed running the trip. Thanks to everyone for your class and integrity. Two days intense golf, great weather, immaculate behaviour and plenty of new friendships -we will be back next year!
Another gorgeous days golf was enjoyed by all today at 2020 Curtis Cup Venue Conwy. This is a top quality venue presented in excellent condition for todays event. Thanks to all involved at this fine Club.
‘Very, very, very, very, very good!’ said Steve Mattison and he doesn’t even have a speech impediment.
‘What a beaut!’ announced Phil Hanson ‘That’s a brilliant golf course’
A few golfers had slightly bloodshot eyes this morning as the Llandudno nightlife took its toll.
There were reports that one slightly intoxicated player lost contact with his team in the sleepy coastal resort late last night. They phoned to ask him where he was but he had no idea. ‘I can hear the sea though’. Was his helpful response.
Conditions were ideal with not a breath of wind to deviate the flight of a crisply struck iron shot off high quality seaside links turf. Unfortunately, there weren’t many of these shots on view today and the Conwy links came out on top.
‘That was like a very one sided boxing match.’ Observed humble Richard Palmer. ‘The problem was the golf course was Tyson Fury and we were like that small bloke he fought last weekend who couldn’t punch his way out of a paper bag.’
Brian Ankers finished his round and proudly told me that he had a great last three holes. Playing partner Roy Ainsworth brought him down to earth when he kindly reminded him that’s he was hopeless for the previous 33 holes.
In todays’ event likeable father and son Jim(11) and Chris Clarke (18) recorded their second win of the season playing alongside Pete Ledger(18) and Graham Jackson(7). They were surprised and delighted to win with just 83 points.
They just pipped talented senior Scotsman Don Campbell(2)and his less talented team of John Aspin(15) Mike Clementson(8) and James Callow(17).
The Overall two day Welsh Classic Champions were Bramalls Simon Hemsley(10), Joe Kirwan(5), Gareth Bradley (scr)and Nigel Hall(8). They added 81 points to their 85 point haul on day one to win by 5 shots.
It was a great team effort with Gareth, Joe and Simon all battling their socks off and playing great golf to hold it together for two days. Nigels’ main contribution was driving the team car and buying some petrol. Congratulation guys great victory.
Top retired architect and all round nice guy David Smith(8) masterminded a second place finish for his team of Andy Hallows (10)Peter O’Driscoll(18) and Tony Coleman(16) (who was mustard). They added a second day 78 to their 83 points recorded at North Wales.
Thanks again to all Maxitours players for being such a delight to deal with- terrific! Tim
