Maxitours at Super Stockport

Stockport was the latest premier Cheshire Club to host Maxitours today.
This is one of the friendliest Clubs we visit with tremendous catering and professional staff who always look after my guys really well throughout the day- many thanks to everyone!

The course looks set to be excellent this Summer and Knutsford Steve Foxcroft loved the lush turf.
‘The fairways were superb, I had new shoes on today and I was floating down the beautiful Stockport fairways.’

Nigel Hallows could play well in the next few weeks – he lost his lob wedge. He has had it for about three years and hasn’t hit a good shot with it yet. If you found it on the Stockport course I would throw it in the nearest bin and do him a favour.

Joe Farmer had a caddy for the first time ever as his pal kindly carried his bags. He actually looked like a good golfer from a distance as he strode down the first fairway with his best mate trying to keep up. Unfortunately, the assistance didn’t improve his golf at all and he finished in his usual position near the bottom of the field.

When I played a season on the challenge tour another English player who was nearly as bad as me had a caddy who went by the nickname of cornflake (that was all he could afford to eat due to his man’s bad play). One night Cornflake had a fight with another caddy who broke his nose. Somebody then christened this Caddy ‘crunchy’ (because ‘Crunchy nutted Cornflake’). I think Crunchy and Cornflake are still caddying on tour.

In todays event top tax accountant Ian Smethurst handed me one of the worst marked scorecards I have ever seen -it was almost totally illegible – if anyone fancies him as their accountant, I will give you his number.

Wilmslow’s Paul Dalby(5) and Barney Ross(6) returned to form teaming up with John Hilton(13) and Richard Blackwell(12). They had a tremendous closing nine of 46 points to sneak into third spot.

Carden Parks’ Ben Kinsey(4), Ex headmaster Nigel Ashton(13), Dave Cooper(16) and Paul Fell(4) took 2nd place with 86 points. I watched Fell and Kinsey both made great birdies on the last to boost their score.

Vale Royals’ well-dressed Mark Hagarty(13) teamed up with his three team mates to take first place today with an excellent score of 88 points. Heyrose legend Graham Jackson(5) always looks like he’s been dragged through a hedge backwards but he got the team off to a great start with a birdie on possibly the toughest opening hole in Cheshire. Pete Ledger(17) and Jim Clarke(10) both contributed well and a cheer from his team reverberated around the Clubhouse when Clarke roiled in a birdie on the short 16th hole. Well played chaps, great golf!

Thanks to all who played today, I hope you enjoyed your golf, Tim
