Maxitours at wonderful Worsley

Worsley is a beautiful golfing oasis less than 4 miles from the centre of town and with one of the best layouts in Greater Manchester -it is always a very popular venue on the Maxitours rota.

The fairways and surrounding trees looked stunning in the glorious May sunshine. Thanks to all the green staff for presenting the course so well.

The food is always excellent at Worsley, the chef has a contract with Anchor as there is never a shortage of butter on his baps. I enjoyed my mid morning steak and stilton baguette so much I ordered another one for my evening meal. Bring it on.

Trevor Nicholson is a great bloke and last Sunday in the Knutsford Golf Club bar he told me in the strictest confidence that he used to be the lead singer in a popular Sheffield band ‘Jonny Lane and the Wanderers.’ I looked towards the 16th fairway late in the day and Trevor (aka Jonny) looked like he was back with his band and they were doing plenty of wandering around the Worsley rough searching for his ball.

Mike Lamb was delighted to collect his ‘money can’t buy’ ostrich skin Maxitours scorecard holder this morning. ‘It is made from real imitation Ostrich skin.’ I explained.
‘That suits me I can put my head in the sand if I am playing badly.’

Norman Humphries is a three handicap class golfer and he has a swing as smooth as chocolate. I told Dave Bentleys group to put down their bacon sandwiches and watch and learn as Norman hit a silky drive 250 yards down the first hole.
‘I’ve been told my practice swing is like that, but it changes when the ball is there!’ Admitted Nigel Uttley. Sure enough I was impressed with his relaxed practice swing as he went through his pre shot routine. Unfortunately when he did tee off his swing also reminded me of chocolate. A Crunchy.

Ryan Giggs lives in his mansion alongside the Worsley 6th hole and it is well set back amid some huge oak and beech trees so he rarely sees any golfers. That is until Mark Hunter hit his vicious hook. He had a quick chat with the United legend who was pruning his roses before sensibly chipping his ball back on the fairway.

Nigel Hallows and his Turton team took 3rd place with 84 points after picking up just two points on the final hole! They still had a great day.

As you know I am extremely proud of my players behaviour and conduct on the golf course each week. Once again lovely Shannon and Laura behind the Worsley golf Club bar repeatedly told me what a lovely group we were. Unfortunately there have been reports coming back this week from a 5 star hotel in Turkey about a certain player by the name of ‘Graham Jackson.’ He was seen leading the way in a conga style dance around The Cornelia Diamond hotel. The ‘dance’ ended up in a broom cupboard. To make matters worse he was wearing a Maxitours shirt at the time!
Graham finished in second place today after a solid performance and he celebrated with a couple of San Miguels. His team of JIm Kenyon(14), Neil Topping(8) and Darryl Parker(14) had to restrain him after they sensed another Conga coming on.

Wrexham’s Dave Cooper(16) Nigel Ashton(123) Ben Kinsey(5) and Mike Lowe(9) took first place with a superb 87 points on the tough Worsley course. Big hitting Ben Kinsey was the main man with five birdies as he found his putting touch on the Worsley greens. Even Nigel Ashton contributed with a valuable birdie on the risk reward 17th hole.

Well played chaps great golf. Thanks to all players for your 100% attendance. Incredible.
