Maxitours at fantastic Vale Royal
Another stunning day greeted the full field of Maxitours competitors at Vale Royal today. It is lovely to have so many positive compliments throughout the day. I love hearing my players being so happy.
Thanks also to my lovely wife Suzy and my equally lovely mother in law Jane for doing a great job running the second half of the day for me.
Vale royal really is a special place, a tremendous golf course and the most impressive Clubhouse in the North always guarantees a great day out.
The greens were truly wonderful and pretty slick on the downhillers.
‘Danny Willet would have no chance around here!’ Chuckled Tytherington’s Gary Butler. ‘They look like a table that has had two coats of pledge.‘
.
There are quite a few scruffy foxes wandering around in Liverpool but nature loving scouser Dave McDougall was close to tears after witnessing a beautiful Cheshire fox and her three cubs walk across the 18th tee this evening. ‘It was magic’ declared the big softie. He was so overcome with emotion that he hit his tee shot at right angles into the deep rough.
In the words of our lovely late Queen Ellizabeth his playing partner asked him to: ‘Wear the fox hat.’
Phil Harris(9) and his pals from Heyrose were one of the few teams that handled the greens and they had a great score of 90 to secure a first ever victory after 15 years of failure. Kenny Plumb(9) sounds like he could sort out a dripping tap but he drained a few putts today and didn’t leak many shots at all. Craig Stubbs(9) and Anthony Barker(22) completed the likeable team.
Second place went to on form Lancastrians Mick Mahon, Dave Westwood, John Farnsworth and Richard Palmer with 88.
Four teams tied on 86 points with Lymm’s charismatic Sam Leach(9), John Mather(10), Jim Hodges (3)and housewife favourite Jonny Barton (14) taking third on the card play-off. Excellent.
Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance
Amazing.
