It was a cold frosty start to the morning but the sun was out so it ended up being a bright, although fresh, afternoon for the legions of Maxitours hardened golfers.

Many took advantage of the Coffee/Tea & Bacon/Sausage bap deal from Ringway’s excellent catering team and as always the staff were attentive, courteous and welcoming. Also to James Salt PGA Professional at Ringway G.C along with the rest of his superb team of staff.

Difficult morning conditions meant the greenkeeping staff couldn’t get the greens as smooth as they would have liked but that didn’t stop long supporting Maxitours 10 year veteran Paul Robinson from creating his own personal best of achieving not one but two gross birdies (nett eagles) back to back on the 10th & 11th holes which ended up helping his team to victory on card count back with a magnificent 45 point back 9. He’d never even had one birdie in 10 years prior to today let alone two !!!!

As always a big thank you to my PGA friend Matt Turnock for running today’s event, he said his head was still spinning after a frantic check in with some delays due to motorway accidents.

Today’s results were as follows:

NP 13th – Martin Keates – 1 Doz Srixon

NP 16th – Pete Myers – 1 Doz Srixon

2’s £172.50 = 8 x ProV1’s or 19 x Srixon AD333’s per 2

Mike McKenna, Mike Verdon, Pete Norbury, Steve Blakeway, Dennis Bowd and Graham Davenport
