Maxitours at wonderful Warrington

There have been reports of excellent greens at Warrington filtering back to me over the last few weeks and they were fully justified after our visit to this lovely golf course today.

It was an education just watching the greenkeeper carefully raking the bunker on the 18th green this morning- real pride and professionalism. Terrific.

The course keeps improving and the well-designed run off areas which have been in place for a few years add a touch of class to this top course. Thank you Warrington.

John Hume is a lovely bloke. He is a highish handicapper who normally loses a few balls when he plays. He hit a new low today when he lost his team in the clubhouse.

He looked everywhere for them and was so frantic he even looked in the lift. Eventually he found them tucked in the corner of the patio.

At one stage he nearly asked me if I had a provisional team he could have a drink with.

Maxitours is considering changing its name to ‘the Tony Leigh fancy dress tour.’

Tony has already come dressed as a cricketer and Gary Players taller and much less talented brother. Today he came dressed as a deck chair. We can’t wait for next weeks outfit.

Veteran Jim Smith isn’t good at understanding the new handicap system and is even worse with new technology.

‘Since I got this app on my phone my handicap has reduced. How do you delete it?’

No answer to that one.

In today’s event which coincided with the summer solstice it was certainly the Longest day for Graham Pike who helped his team into last place.

Housewife favourite John Dickenson was the real deal today as he led his team into second place. Paul Lord, Dave McDougall and Mike Dempsey completed the quartet.

Generous Scotsman Jimmy McEwans Ashton in Makerfield team of Grant Benson, Jason Atherton and Ian Cooper were deliriously happy to take first prize.

They made the most of the superb receptive greens and fast fairways and had a solid 89 points. Well played chaps.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support and to my son James who collected the cards for the last few hours. He lives at home rent free, leaves the lights on and eats like a king so he won’t expect any wages…A perfect day all round.
