Maxitours at superb Stockport
Stockport was once again in terrific condition. Greens maintenance took place here two weeks ago but you would not believe it as the greens were blemish free and rolling so true. Head green keeper Rob is well ahead of the game. Brilliant work.
The girls who served us all day in the clubhouse were exceptional and Callum in the pro shop was brilliant and put out my nearest the pins and has a bright future in the game.
Dave Cooper is an interesting bloke who keeps bees as a hobby. He told me that he had a bad year last year and lost a couple of colonies, he lost a few Pro Bee ones today as his team could only manage 72 points.
With the hot humid conditions Andy Parrington was wearing his shorts today. Andy is a super lad and a very fine category one golfer but I have seen more meat on a Lidl roast chicken. It is rumoured that he uses a chapstick for his deodorant. There was a threat of thunderstorms in the forecast last night but his team looked confident.
‘ We have our very own lightening conductor with us so we should be safe.’ Reported his streetwise team mate Andy Taylor.
We were blessed to have some high quality lady golfers playing today. Claire Witney (2) started her round with three birdies and England senior star Cath Rawthore(1) also put the blokes in her fourball to shame with some great golf.
In todays’ event scoring was the best for a few months as the blemish free greens and tremendous fairway surfaces ensured good golf was rewarded.
Martin Williams, Simon Hartland, Martin Bray and John Tomlinson took third with a superb 88 points. Hartland is a fine athlete and is starting to fulfil his massive potential on the course.
Second place went to Bramhall’s big hitting Dave Woods who smashed in five birdies, smooth swinging left hander Simon Hemsley, wise Joe Kirwan and Stockport member Nick O’Brien also contributed well as the team racked up 90 points. They loved it out there.
Wychwoods Chris Brierley(10) Ian Brooks(9), Lee Roberts(7) and Eddie Sterling(6) took the honours with 91 points- an outward 47 points set them up for a terrific win. Well played chaps.
Thanks so much for your support everyone, Tim.
