Maxitours from Marvellous Mottram
Thanks very much to Matt Turnock – golf coach of the year 2019 for running my event today:

Maxitours players were treated to a predominantly dry day at well draining Mottram Hall following some very wet days. Relatively benign conditions early doors were welcomed by all, as even from the forward tees Mottram is one of the longest courses in Cheshire, but as the afternoon wore on the wind picked up making scoring very tough.
Well done to new Head Greenkeeper Scott Newton and his team for presenting the course in great condition for the time of year and to the Clubhouse catering staff for pre round coffee and bacon butties and post round sandwiches and fries which many players took advantage of.
Also thanks to my good friend Matt Turnock (PGA Pro at Mottram Hall) who ran today’s event efficiently as ever in my absence whilst I’m away golfing in sunny Portugal.
The front nine holes are generally the ones to make a score on with the back nine doing well to hang on to it. And so it proved for the majority of the teams with the winning team of Jim Caldwell, Peter Griggs, Lee Charnley and John Rooney coming in with a best of the day 85 after taking advantage of their early tee time getting the best of the weather. Scoring after that was close with an 82 from the team of Roger Bannard, Jeremy Neale, Simon Johnston and Darren Riley and then a couple of 80’s and two 79’s.
