Maxitours at brilliant Helsby

Helsby was in excellent condition for todays Maxitours event. There was little sign of yesterdays horrific weather – the green keepers did a magical job mowing their greens and fairways first thing this morning for us. Thank you very much.

Rob behind the bar and Julie who single handedly served over 100 golfers were both fantastic- what a club!

John Sherrington is back from the Masters. As I predicted 2 weeks ago he is desperate to tell everyone about it but knows he will be assassinated in my report. Please can everyone completely ignore him if he starts telling any Augusta stories.

Kevin Hart is working hard at his putting in recent weeks and he was delighted to hit his 4th putt straight into the middle of the hole on the tricky 12th green. Excellent work Kev.

The scoring was very close indeed as breezy conditions and a well designed golf course got the better of the majority of teams. The sunny conditions were also a shock to the system for many players.

A record low score of just 78 was leading for most of the day.

‘I really can’t believe that a score of only 78 is winning!’ Said an exasperated John Farnsworth when he handed his card in.

‘I can!’ Chipped in his long suffering team mate Mick Mahon ‘ it’s 18 shots better than our score.’

Three teams shared 78 points.

Jim Caldwells Wilmslow team finished 4th on the card play off.

Poulton Parks quartet of Paul Roberts, Mike Hall, Phil Johnson and Neil Birchall also scored 78 with a superior back nine to take 3rd . They all arrived together in a huge coach and bonded on the journey. I have no idea why they needed a huge coach but it seemed to do the trick.

Winning the play off was the team of Delamere Forests Roger Percival , Cheshire senior Martin France, Pete the pie eater Atherton and Ed Wilkinson. The quartet have been quiet recently. Team Captain Ed normally only smiles when he is on his 3rd pint in the bar but he was delighted with second place. This man can putt.

Winning today was Mick Jones(8), Dan Moss(4), Darren Wilkinson(10) and Dave Ashworth(4) from Hazel Grove with just 79 points. They went quiet after picking up just 2 points on the 14th and were shocked and delighted to win with such a low score.

‘We love Maxitours – so many nice players and a score of 79 winning a team of 4 event shows what great integrity your players have.’

Thanks for your words Mick, Very well played.

Thanks to everyone for your attendance today. Brilliant.

Yours in golf,

Tim
