Maxitours at ‘Peak’ condition Cavendish.

Another incredible Maxitours event.

Cavendish was a real pleasure to play and all my players agreed that this is a very special golf course indeed.

‘Absolutely beautiful!’ Declared Nigel Ashton after his round. ‘That course was presented magnificently.’ Thanks to the Cavendish head green keeper for delivering this Derbyshire masterpiece to such a high standard.

It was a cool Autumnal start to the day but the Pennine breeze soon parted the clouds and replaced them with glorious blue skies.

The drive to Cavendish is stunning after steeply climbing the foothills of the pennines you enter the peak distict and the roads wind their way through huge valleys and moorland hilltops .

The golf course is surrounded on all sides by stunning hillsides and rocky outcrops. Tony Hereford hadn’t played here before and as he checked in he asked: ‘Is the course hilly?’ I nearly fell off my chair.

Andy Oakes was at it again. After talking to several uninterested Maxitours players about his first major win at Prestbury last week, today he was pointing out his name on the honours boards at Cavendish (where he was briefly affiliated) to anyone he could find in the clubhouse. Even a few members of the funeral party were invited to have a look.

Scoring was the worst ever in Maxitours history proving that a golf course does not have to be long to be a tough challenge. If your team scored a measly 72 points you were comfortably in the top half of the field!

Playing in the toughest conditions this morning the Bramhall ‘b’ team of Bob Eastwood, Mark Clewley, Mike Lamb and Ashley Elliott recorded a very solid 78 points which was leading for a long time. Dave Sarsfield and Geoff Bickertons teams were both surprised and delighted to be in the frame after battling 77 point hauls.

The wind dropped late in the day and the scoring took a turn for the better.

The Shrigley Hall team are used to sloping lies and tough greens and they took third place with 80 points. They finished eight better but picked up 5 shots on the 10th and 11th thanks to back to back birdies from Martin Firth (2). Ray White(17), his son Ollie(8) and Adam Brindle (15)completed the quartet.

The low handicap Hazel Grove team of Cheshire legend Andrew Hill(3), massively talented Frazer MacLoad(plus3), slightly less talented Callaway sales manager Tom Gradwell(2)and Scott Taylor(14) took second place with 81 points.

Winning today were ex Hazel Grove Captain Mike Jones(8), next years Captain Ian Martin(9), less important Steve Volp(11), and even less important Dan Moss(5). The team picked up a vital six points at the last, Moss rolled in a forty footer at the last to secure the win. Well played guys.
