Maxitours at perfect Prestatyn

Ideal links conditions greeted Maxitours players at Prestatyn today. Nobody wants to play a links course in lovely calm conditions so the force nine gale was really welcomed by all players today.

The greens are possibly the best in the North West and of course Prestatyn was very dry.

‘Those putting surfaces were superb!’ Declared retired pilot Dave Keen. ‘I wouldn’t fancy landing my plane in these winds’ He admitted.

Tom Butler hit his best shot of the day when he nearly holed his shot on the par three 11th eventually finishing two feet from the hole. Unluckily Andy Russell had impressively hit his shot to a foot so Tom missed out on the nearest the pin and had a double whammy when his putt whistled past the hole.

‘It was one of his better putts’ Joked Martin Wainman.

Best wishes to Colin Bryan who fell off his mountain bike an broke his leg in three place a month ago. I asked the team if they were struggling without the talented Welshman.

‘We’re not missing him, but we are missing his short game.’ Reported heartless Mike Lowe.

Chris Sheppard told me that he recorded his first birdie since turning 80 when he made a two on the 11h today. He looks about ninety five but assured me he only turned 80 in February. Only joking Chris you look great and fit as a fiddle. Keep it up!

There was an even older old boy in the clubhouse watching golfers play the 18th whilst drinking a flat half pint of bitter over a four hour period this afternoon. He kept smiling and talking to me in welsh. It was a long afternoon. The only peace I got was a five minute period when he nearly keeled over watching Steve Best hole a 70 foot downwind putt for an unexpected eagle.

Scoring was tough and today it was mostly the bigger hitters who scored better as a few holes were unreachable for most.

Martin Wainman, Paul Price, Tom Butler and Nick lea were delighted to take 4th with just 77 points. ‘That’s why we love Maxitours, great guys, great integrity and no crazy scores’.

Likeable Warrick Dawson is a lovely man and knows a lot about golf. He is also a fine golfer and helped his Prestbury team into a season best third with a solid 77 points and a strong finish. Chris Sheppard, Henry Petrie and Nick Wood were his on form team mates.

Phil Dickens, Neil Evans, Steve Blakeway and John Cross had a strong finish to record 79 points to nicely move up the order of merit.

Winning today was Roger Percival, Ed Wilkinson, Josh Brand and big Pete Atherton. Percival has improved over the last year and was on form today. Ed Wilkinson normally only smiles in the bar but today he was smiling on the course after an excellent round. Well played chaps great win.

Thanks to everyone for your support today. Excellent.
