Maxitours at marvelous Mottram Hall
Very pleasant, calm Autumnal conditions were the reward for Maxitours players at beautiful Mottram Hall today. The greens are excellent and there was never a doubt that we were going ahead thanks to the excellent new greenkeeper and his team who do a great job keeping the course open for their members- terrific.
There was plenty of praise from everybody.
‘Brilliant – the greens were class’ Declared big Dave Mason.
‘I can’t believe how dry it is- amazing!’ Announced Jim Cox.
As well as an incredibly dry course the service in the golf centre was the best I have known for many years. Luis the new catering manager is getting things running very smoothly indeed. Thanks so much Luis.
Well-spoken Prestbury member Martin Prescott plays paddle tennis most mornings and he was at it again today as he arrived for golf wearing his tennis shorts and socks. He looks like a poor man’s Novak Djokovic. An unnamed Maxitours player from the deepest North saw him in his attire, looked him up and down and invited him back to his home Club in Lancashire. ‘Come to our wet course- you can play paddle golf there’.
There is no longest drive in Maxitours events but I watched overswinging Tom Garside thin his approach into the 9th green. He won ‘longest pitch mark’ as his ball skidded across the putting surface on its way towards the half way house. Well done Tom.
Scoring was tight once again with Denton mechanic and lovely single figure player Jim Cox leading his team into 3rd place with 86 points. Mike Grainger, Steve Rigby and Ian George were his team mates.
Second place went to talented Sam Garnett (1) who has found his form again after a poor few months. Davyhulmes Kev Hart(10) , Dave Blease(4) and Paul Brodie(20) completed the team.
Winning their first ever Maxitours event after over two years of fruitless trying were Richard Margrave(8), Paul Traynor(7), Steve Moores(5) and Martin Dwyer (5). The likeable Saddleworth quartet had a quiet start but picked up in the middle of their round with 7 point hauls on the 10th and 12th to really get things moving. WQell played chaps. Graet golf.
Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance.
