Maxitours at brilliant Vale Royal Abbey Golf Club

Posted on by

Maxitours from brilliant Vale Royal Abbey.

A big thank you again to my good friend and fellow PGA Pro Matt Turnock for running my event once again today as I prepare for 84 Maxitours players to play in the Algarvian Masters next week –The three Quinta courses are in wonderful condition- you are in for a treat.
PLEASE CAN TRAVELLING TEAMS SEND ME ALL PLAYERS HANDICAP INDEX ASAP.

I gather that my players had a real treat at home today playing Vale Royal. I have had several texts telling me what how impressive the greens were. I was told a long time ago that best green keepers are able to keep the course open for their members all year round and Justin is now rated right up there with the very best in Cheshire.

Here is Matts report:

Big thanks to the catering and bar staff for their provision of quality food and drink for your enjoyment.
Fortunately, after many days of dreadfully heavy rain it didn’t stop today’s event from going ahead which is a credit to Vale Royal Abbey’s drainage and the excellent work from their green keeping staff in presenting the course in super condition for my event today.

The predominant comments coming back from players were how excellent the greens were and certainly this proved to be the case with the top scoring team of Jim Clarkes shooting an amazing 91 points to win by two shots. “Putts were flying in from all over the place from my team” exclaimed Jim.

Thank you to Vale Royal for the use of their course today as it’s always a pleasure to bring my events to this superb venue.
