Maxitours at Vintage Vale Royal

It was another great golfing day for well over 100 Maxitours players who travelled to Vale Royal.

There were tremendous compliments throughout the day for this fantastic venue which is maturing into a classic.
Richard Blackwell usually talks drivel but he hit the nail on the head this evening when he rated Vale Royal ‘As good as any golf course in Cheshire.’

‘That is one great golf course!’ Added Steve Marsden.
‘I love it here – it’s a really, really, enjoyable golf course to play.’ Praised Lewis Marland.

The report is slightly shorter than usual as I have been busy sorting start times out at future venues. I might have had time to write some golf related stories but I was busy wasting my life away having a nonsensical conversation with Bob Chesters’ team. They all have degrees in stating the obvious when I am trying to get some work done.
‘Its hot out there Tim’
‘Really?’

It was John Kings first day back after self-isolating. ‘It’s my first day out for a few months as I am classed as vulnerable!’ He told me proudly.
‘Your wedge play needs to go into isolation next. it looked pretty vulnerable to me!’ Remarked his playing partner Fred Tyler.

Scoring was excellent especially in the morning when there was not a breath of wind and the greens were receptive. It was great to see two legendary Maxitours teams in the top three.

Ever present Colin Roberts(19) is possibly the most ‘capped’ Maxitours player. The popular Alsager man plays every week but he is more famous for his larger than life personality rather than his golf game. He played great today however and was ably assisted by his more sensible good friend Dave Marchant(18), Dave Mason(13) and Andy Williamson(13 as they took 3rd place).

Father to be Andy Buckley(9) teamed up with his own dad Mark (9) Don Philips (12) and Pete Woodbine (14) they has a best of the day 46 points in the front nine which earned them second place

Mick Mahon(22) can’t be too far behind Colin with the most Maxitours caps and this gentle giant is one of the nicest guys in the game. He rolled in more than his fair share of putts today as his team won with a brilliant 91 points . Team mate Richard Palmer (11) has had one of his rare victories here a few years ago and it was a case of horses for courses as the farmer also played well. Andy Faulkner(18) and Dave Westwood (19) completed the likeable team .
Well played chaps a great victory under the hot sun!

Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance. Awesome ! as they say on the PGA Tour.
