Maxitours at Vale Royal
Huge thanks to Vale Royal for stepping in to host todays Maxitours event. The course was superb with wonderfully smooth greens for February. The food in the clubhouse is now first class and the chilli chicken bites are well worth ordering.
I had an enjoyable day in the historic clubhouse which is 400 years old in places.
Andy Adsheads putter is nearly as old but there is still life in it as his team finished 4th.
Three time FA cup winner Frank Stapleton was back in the prizes after helping his team score 82 points to finish in 3rd place today. Nice guy Stapleton was the first ever player to score in the cup final for two different teams but winning with his three partners Norrie Erwin, Jim Clarke and Pete Booth would have eclipsed that achievement.
They were beaten into 2nd place by Knutsford’s charismatic Eddie Ellis(8) and his team of Tom Padget(2), Joe Stanley(+1) and Ben Davies(5) who recorded their highest ever Maxitours finish by winning the card play off. First to the bar Ellis is one of the nicest guys you can meet and went home to celebrate a very happy birthday and talk his two year old daughter through his round.
I’m really enjoying watching ‘Game of Thrones’ which was highly recommended by a friend. Barnsleys marauding Rob Platt(7), Darren Wilson(7), Tim Barstow(13) and Tom Broadhead(14) came from ‘over the wall’ Yorkshire today with their Callaway weapons and took away the spoils from the land of Cheshire.
They scored two eagles on the 3rd hole to have an outward 44 points before a battling 40 point back nine earned the win.
Well played chaps- excellent.
Spring is here on Friday get your sun cream out!
Thanks for your support, Tim
