Maxitours at brilliant but blustery Bolton
The Bolton Old Links Golf Club was so highly regarded it regularly hosted The European Tour school in the late 1980s. The Club is once again flourishing and this terrific venue is back to its very best.
The greens are really superb and in today’s wind any putting mental weaknesses were exposed -they were tough!
England senior international and 3 times English senior Champion Alan Squires likes tricky putting conditions and he rolled his fair share in reporting that ‘The greens were like billiard tables!’
Tom Roe is 3 time Knutsford roll up winner and he also enjoyed the course ‘I had a great birdie on the 12th and then an eagle on the 13th ,‘ can I talk you through them?’ No.
Clubhouse manager Liz ticks every box when it comes to hospitality and all the staff were warm and friendly throughout the day- thank you.
As some lighter Maxitours players were buffeted by the wind big Antrobus steward Dave Buckley(14) was standing firm and he led his Antrobus men into an early lead with an excellent 83 points. Paul Bayley(5), Ricky Howard(15) and Jim Spears(11) were the other superstars in his team.
This score was challenged by Davyhulme’s Karl Marginson(6), Rhodri Giggs(5), John Worsnop(8) and Jim Murray (8)who scored 82. This was matched late in the day by Ringway architect David Smith(9), Bill Parkinson(16), Mark Birtwistle(11) and Barry Rigby(15). It was great to see gentleman Bill enjoying his golf with good friends.
Buckleys men hung on as 83 points was good enough for a well earned victory – congratulations.
Thanks to all players, I hope you had a terrific day.
Tim.
