Room for 1 team next week at must play Lancaster.
Maxitours at dazzling Davenport
A gloomy day but a sparkling venue dazzled our players at Davenport today. Martin Humphries talks twaddle most of the time but he knows a good golf course when he sees one. He enjoys all the courses we play in the Stockport area but rates Davenport as his favourite.
I always get lots of positives from players who love this place- it has a real charm of its own and is a really interesting course with great views over Manchester and the Cheshire plain.
The course is in the foothills of the peak district and has no trains, planes or automobiles, it is just an idyllic setting for a game of golf.
Richard Margreave plays golf seven days a week but he felt that the bunkers and greens are as good as anywhere. There has been some great investment with the quality of sand and riveting, our golfers are enjoying the results.
There were lots of twos again today thanks for marking them clearly for me. I missed Harry Bonds birdie last week but in my defence the card was that poorly marked I sent it to Bletchley Park to be deciphered.
Howard Kelly holed his approach shot for a lovely eagle on the 5th but star of the day was John Broomhead with his hole in one on the 222 yard 7th hole. I hope everyone enjoyed their drink on the big spending Yorkshireman.
In your dreams.
Scoring was tight at the top with four teams scoring 85 points. Andy Taylor, Martin Firth, Andy Hockenhull and Mike Taylor won the card play off with the best back nine. Kev Harts well liked team were 3rd , Andrew Hills Hazel Grove quartet were 4th and it was great to see Richard Blackwell back to full fitness and finishing 5th.
Winning today were Saddleworths Lee Tilley(8), Dave Rhodes(12), Dave Sarsfield(14) and Billy (17) with a solid 86 points. They showed their bottle and picked up six points on the closing hole when all around them teams were dropping shots.
Well played chaps.
Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance today.
