Maxitours at brilliant Bromborough.
Well over 100 competitors visited this lovely Wirral course as Maxitours went to Bromborough.
The Clubhouse, staff and professional are all top notch at this friendly championship Club.
Bromborough is always a huge favourite with our players, the superb rolling championship course was loved by all. Jerry Salmon really enjoyed thinning his wedges on the excellent new short game area near the clubhouse before his round and meat pie specialist Graham Jackson made the most of the half way house fare.
Simon Poucher picked up the nickname Aquaman after his ball visited the water several times on a recent golf holiday in Turkey. Today Aquaman looked like a drowned rat as he handed his card in.
‘I don’t like wearing a waterproof top as it makes me sweat.’ He told me shivering in his wringing wet maxitours t-shirt. ‘I have two umbrellas, a hat, several towels, a rainglove and a pair of winter mitts instead.’ You might want to rethink those tactics Simon.
After also playing in the worst of the evening rain Nigel Koenan looked a bit wet. He is an incredibly likeable bloke with a great sense of humour.
‘We had the best conditions today- I didn’t get a single strand of hair wet!’ Reported bald as a coot Nigel as he handed his soggy card in.
Bromborough was a tale of two halves with the morning starters enjoying glorious conditions and the afternoon players experiencing the start of yet another summer storm.
Simon Hemsley(10), Andy Bradshaw(0), Matt Ford (10) and Brian Fisher(11) were first out. They thought 82 points may finish top half but they will be delighted to read that they clinched 3rd place. Brian is a great supporter of local professional golf and is a very popular figure in the local area.
Teeing off last the tough Northern Turton team played the front nine in an impressive 45 points but then had to hang on in the toughening conditions. I watched them make a terrific birdie and par on the tough 18th for a six point haul which dragged them into second position.
‘This is a calm day compared to what we play in each week up in’t Bolton hills’. Remarked John Dempsey(1). To be fair this was definitely the performance of the day. Steven Booth(7), Gary Myerscough(8) and Kevin Yardley(7) completed the team.
Dukinfield retired copper Neale Laurent (14) and his men posted a solid 85 in the great morning weather and despite a late challenge from the Turton lads the team of John Harrop, (7) Gary Berrisford(11) and Steve McClure (14) cruised to a Brian Harman style victory . Well played chaps. Excellent performance on a testing golf course.
Thanks again for your 100% attendance. Class.
