First day of the Maxitours Cheshire Classic at Prestbury

Another amazing days golf was enjoyed by Maxitours players at Prestbury Golf Club.
Intelligent Mike Lowe declared: ‘That is a proper golf course!’
Simon Raines announced: ‘It has been a long time since I played Prestbury but t is even better than I remembered!’
‘Superb.’ Beamed Steve Blakeway
‘Amazing course.’ Stated Peter Maher.

I enjoyed working at this great club for a couple of years in the early 1990’s and the members were terrific with me. I still really love visiting here. The greens were always excellent but ‘not at their best until May.’ Head Green keeper Mark Crossley has changed all that and the greens are pure and playable for 12 months of the year. Brilliant.
Even Frank Hindle struggled to think of anything to complain today about which is a first.

Mark Saxon was excited about his first big event of the season but he made the schoolboy error of cleaning his clubs, polishing his shoes, putting on a fresh leather glove and he even washed his bag towel. He was guaranteed to struggle.

Perfectionist Gary Greer and his team were also excited and they arrived 3 ½ hours before their tee time in order to be prepare properly. They had so much time on their hands they decided to have a look at the views over the Edge in Alderley and arrived back still two and a half hours before their allocated time and headed to the range. They teed off at just after one and looked absolutely shattered.

The perfect conditions meant scoring was excellent. Even John Webb (Webby) had a two on the 8th.

Birchwood legend Steve Aspinall, Ken Booth, Graham Wilkinson and John Fitzsimmons are in 4th place with 89 points. Paul Fells Carden park team are in 2nd place alongside the Dukinfield quartet led by Paul Butler with 90 points.

Late in the day Wolstantons’ Gary Ellis, Ian Hassall, Robert Sutton and Mark Taylor had a wonderful 95 points. A huge cheer erupted as chunky Ian Hassall holed his approach on the last as the team picked up seven points. ‘Everything went right today!’

There is everything to play for tomorrow and the famous Mottram Hall back nine should sort the men out from the boys.

Janet Heywood showed the men how to do it on the 17th hole. As the big hitters were missing the green with a wedge Janet used her educated hands to caress her driver to within a foot of the hole to win nearest the pin. Excellent.

Sleep well everybody.

Yours in golf,
Tim
