Maxitours at delightful Davyhulme

Another great days’ golf was enjoyed by Maxitours players at Davyhulme Park.

What a great golf course this is. Once again there were numerous happy golfers who were begging me to return to this classic parkland course next year.

The clubhouse is stunning and PGA Professional Martyn Hamer is a superb asset to Davyhulme – he couldn’t be more helpful – a brilliant credit to his profession.

I have just returned from a family holiday in Norfolk where there is a drought and the courses are burning up -Davyhulme looked like a green golfing paradise in comparison. We are so lucky to have all this rain.
‘I’ve not played here before but that is great layout -in immaculate condition- I loved it! ’ Announced Charlie Kingston.

Looking at the scorecards I’ve never seen so many teams start as badly. The first hole at Davyhulme is a narrow par three and well over half the teams dropped shots. Eight teams dropped two shots.
It didn’t bother Simon Raine as his team was one of only two to pick up a shot on the hole. All he could talk about was his eagle at the last however. ‘My second into the last was the greatest shot I have ever hit.’ The other 16 holes were average as they finished in the middle of the pack.

It was great to see Mike Verdon back in action today – he is a top bloke 👍and looked great.

Jim Clarke’s team has had a very quiet Summer by their high standards but today they were back playing some excellent golf. It is always lovely to see a young girl on the golf course and Jims daughter Georgi followed up a win at Knutsford yesterday with some great golf today. She is miles better than her Dad. They finished in 4th place.

Gary Neiles(6) Sandiway team scored 46 points on their back nine to sneak into third place. Joe Yates(9) made a great birdie on the 13th to give the team a boost. Son Paul(9) and John Longworth (13) made up the team.

School teacher Danny Holbrook(18) and his Ashton on Mersey team took second with 90 points. Holbrook has barely done a days work in the last six months and he made the most of his ‘holiday’ time to improve his golf. Gabriel Bagshaw(3) recorded two 2’s in the space of three holes – the most impressive being his eagle on the par 4 seventh hole. Joe Denman(7) and Haydn Parry(5) also played great golf.

Winning today was the Sandbach team of Mark Buckley(9) playing with his son and new father himself Andy (8) Don Phillips (12) and Ian Pezell(10). Andy and Don both birdied the index 1 hole to secure 8 points and a one shot victory . Well played lads great golf.

Thanks to all who played and for your 100% attendance. Tim
