Maxitours at superb Shrigley Hall

Thanks to Shrigley Hall for stepping forward to host todays Maxitours event. The course was very dry and everyone enjoyed the fantastic greens.

The clubhouse overlooks the 18th tee and the huge lake which separates the tee from the 18th green. I think I watched everyones tee shoy and nobody went in the water. Very impressive indeed.

John Sherringham must be really struggling with his golf. He has watched every golf tuition ever made and has every swing aid imaginable. He is that distressed he told me that he has now resorted to modelling his game on my swing because he videoed me on the range a few months ago. This is a whole new level of desperation I have never come across before.

Careful car owner Nigel Ashton is terrified of anyone denting his sporty BMW. He always turns up two hours before his tee time so he can find a quiet spot in the car park as far away from any other cars as is possible. He actually has traffic cones in his boot to prevent any cars getting too close. He loves playing at Shrigley hall as the car park is huge. He looked shattered before he teed off after the huge walk from the far side of the carpark to the clubhouse. The course is no easy walk either so the seventy year old will sleep tonight. Another man who will sleep well is Scotsman Geiorge Kerr. His heavy electric trolley broke down after nine holes and he pushed his way home.

Yorkshireman Mike Dempsey won some balls and had to share them will his team. As he handed them out I could feel his pain. What made it tougher was he was handing them out to his team mate from the Highlands- Hamish Ogilvie.

‘Scotsmen are like Yorkshireman with the generosity taken out.’ Mike informed me.

Scoring was excellent with Ex Manchester golf Club Captains Steve and Janet Heywood guiding their team into 3rd place with 85 points. Team Mate Graham Davenport turned up on the 1st tee covered in blood after banging his head on his car boot- he never played so well. Chris Lee was the 4th member.

Geoff Bickerton , Mark Foley, Steve Booth and Kev Hart took the early lead with a terrific 87 points but late in the day Maxitours regular Andy Corner(11) , Peter Reynolds(10), Rob Blain(13) and Rob Cressey(20) had a terrific 88 points for their first win of the Winter. Congratulations chaps!
