*Maxitours Algarvian Classic 1 and 2 Full!!

I have managed to get another 2 team places for 1-5th Feb so all is not lost ! – Let me know if you are keen. I have a really nice pair (Paul Evans 20 h’cap and friend)requiring 2 players- so either a team of 4, two singles or a pair are required!

Maxitours at fabulous Formby Hall.

Formby Hall was incredibly dry for todays Maxitours event. Players couldn’t believe how playable the course was after recent rainfall and were desperate to return to this cracking Southport venue.

‘That was incredibly dry- I loved it!’ Reported golf mad Martin Humphries.

‘The greens were terrific!’ Declared Gary Neiles.

‘For me that’s the best venue of the year.’ Announced an impressed Harvey Mattinson.

Steve Mattinson wasn’t playing today but came along to give support and advice to his brother Harvey and his team in the hope that it would improve their average performances. After 7 holes he walked in, had a nice lunch, drank a beer and found a nice corner to forget about the golf and had a nice snooze. The team actually came home with a solid back nine and a better than usual mid table finish.

Jim Rymer gets a mention as he finished his round with the same ball he started with. Probably a first for the likeable retired lawyer. Mrs Maxwell played today and she was happily getting through my stock of taylor made balls on the ‘watery’ back nine. In order to avoid an argument I ‘must’ mention that she had a number of great holes as well.

Taking the early lead was Andy Taylor and his team with 85 points which was matched by Paul Fells team who had a very strong front nine but then they all came home in an ambulance.

Stamfords Richard Margrave, Paul Traynor, Mike Grainger and Steve Moores played great for seventeen holes but could only manage 2 points on the closing downwind par 5! They were inconsolable after their 86 points just missed out.

Taking the honours were regulars Jim Clarke, Graham Jackson, Pete Ledger and Dave Tobutt with 87 points. They had a terrific 47 points on the front nine as Graham ‘the pie’ Jackson had the round of his life. The tougher back nine saw them come home in 40 to narrowly win. Well played chaps.

Thanks to all players for your brilliant support,

Tim
