Maxitours at Reddish Vale

Reddish Vale is another Alaster Mackenzie master piece. Built in the shadows of industrial Stockport the course is a little wildlife hotspot with the beautiful river Tame meandering peacefully alongside the rolling fairways. It’s a great course.

The excellent drainage and greens which are consistently the best for miles around make this a tremendous Autumn venue. The green keeper should be very proud of himself.

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.

Highly rated Club pro Andy Myers and Secretary Alan made us feel very welcome and are both brilliant chaps and a real pleasure to deal with.

The registration was in the Reddish Vale dart room today. The more childish members of the tour couldn’t resist having a quick throw.
‘I used to be a terrific darts player.’ Paul Fell informed me. ‘I nearly qualified for the embassy world finals.’
He threw three darts. The first missed the board, the second weakly fell on the floor and the third scored a four.
I know that the older I get the better I used to be at golf. What I didn’t know is that the same could be said for darts.

Sam Leach’s team were frustrated as they couldn’t knock a putt in all day but things looked brighter when housewife favorite Jonny Barton surprised everyone and hit a tremendous three wood to within a foot on the twelfth hole. The team were happily dividing up the two”s sweep balls before Jonny hit a putt that never even touched the hole and the deep gloom descended once more.

Scoring at the top was incredibly tight once again. The battle for 5th saw three teams on 81 points – all coming home in 44 points and all needing to be separated on the best last 6 holes.

Top retired big business lawyer Ed Pysden is extremely well organized and gives me a piece of paper listing his players and their current handicaps each week. Today he gave me his wife’s shopping list by mistake. It didn’t stop him playing great golf as his team finished 6th.
Don’t forget the milk, Ed.

Garry Smiths team took 5th place after picking up 6 points on the 16th and 17th holes.

Second to fourth place was also separated on a card play-off with Pete Ledgers team taking silver after their excellent back nine. Paul Fells team took 3rd and my gently snoring room mate Tom Roe and his team finished 4th. Everyone scored an excellent 83 points.

Late in the day Bramhall’s Rob Kenyon(13), Simon Burgess(15), Steve Rosier (13)and Dave Fidler(6) scored 84 points to win by one. The likeable quartet played here in an open on Monday and loved it so much they played again today. Their practice round paid off and they were absolutely delighted to take first place.

Thanks to everyone for your support.
Brilliant.

Teams are required for the charity day at Lymm on 25th October-it would be great if you could support this event.
