Spaces at Reddish on Thursday – forecast very good and the course really is excellent.
Maxitours at cracking Conwy.
Clear blue skies greeted the early maxitours competirors who travelled to Conwy this morning.
The course is improving by the year, new patches of marron grass are being planted and the gorse is slowly being cleared. Pathways are being cut through the dunes. It is wonderful here.
The freshly cut firm greens are always a pleasure to putt on and they were first class today..
The wind was blowing in completely the wrong direction for how the course was designed. All the shot holes were down breeze and the easy holes were playing into the wind. So there were more 7 pointers and also more 1 pointers than usual. John Davies always hits his ball in the wrong direction so he was at home today.
If you think you are unlucky spare a thought for sheep farmer Richard Palmer . Just as the golfing weather improves he will be helping 300 sheep give birth. Instead of reaching in and pulling a titliest pro v1 out of the hole he will be reaching in and pulling out a baby lamb. The first ones are due on Thursday.
In todays competition there were more dead badgers by the side of the A55 than points scored by Dave Bloods team as they finished in last place with 69.
The best scores were from the morning starters who enjoyed sunshine before the wind really picked up and clouds gathered late in the day.
Five of the top six scores were all in the first few groups of the day.
Talented Jon Hudson and his Bramall Park team scored an excellent 83 points to take 5th.
Nigel Ashton, Mike Lowe, John Williams and Stuart Smith had a solid 85 points and were unlucky just to finish 4th to Geoff Bickerton, Andy Russell, Steve Booth and Danny Swarbrick who played late in the day.
Two teams scored 86 points and it went to a last six hole card play off.
Gareth Winston, John Harrop, Jack Schofield and James Beswick just missed out to Lee Charnley, Jim Caldwell, John Roome an Andrew Aherne. Both teams making the most of the early benign conditions. Well played everybody.
Thanks for your support,
See you at Reddish Vale on Thursday.
Steve Booth turned up at Reddish last week instead of Vale Royal so give him a ring if you need directions.
Tim.
