Maxitours at charming Chorley

A brilliant day was enjoyed by all at Chorley. So many players were playing here for the first time and there was lots and lots of praise for the golf course. For any players who missed this venue -we will be back!

There was a constant stream of compliments for the Chorley greens which are a superb surface and still running at a wonderfully fast pace. The green staff should be very proud.

‘Those greens were magnificent. If you hit a good putt on the right line you couldn’t miss. Unfortunately, we are so bad we couldn’t hit it on the right line!’ Admitted honest Richard Williamson.

‘I’ve not payed here before – that’s a cracking golf course!’ Declared well-travelled Jeremy Waterhouse.

Catering was also fantastic with the bacon butties right up there with the best in the North. Thanks to PGA pro Andy Palmer for hosting us so well and being incredibly helpful.

Slim England senior player Cath Rawthore also had a great day today, not only did she play well, her husband Moby payed for her golf and but he then treated her to big cornet on the way home from Fredericks famous ice cream shop at the bottom of the golf course. ‘I don’t even like ice cream!’ She claimed whilst munching on her flake.

I shall pay my annual visit to Fredericks as soon as this report is sent.

Mick Mahon has lost a few pounds and smartened up his appearance in the past few months. He is even thinking about taking up pilates like his friend Andy Faulkner who is much more in touch with his feminine side. Micks’ neat new haircut has adversely affected his teams performances. ‘We used to be able to see the breeze direction and its strength by looking at Micks unkempt locks flowing in the wind – we have to just guess now.’ Reported a frustrated Richard Palmer

In todays event Heyrose’s Jim Meldrum(21) holed an eight iron on the par five 14th for an impressive birdie to help his team into 2nd place with 81 points. Josh Street (plus 3!), Chris Stretch(10) and Chris Chidley were his playing partners.

Phil Robinson’s likeable Wychwood team of Dave Goodwin, Lord Richard Williamson and Dave Snape returned to form as did Withingtons Andy Parrington and his Charismatic four ball including Andy Taylor, Andy Strickley and Ted Lacey. They all scored 81 points to narrowly miss out.

Paul Rudkin from Old Worsley Golf Club and his team of Craig Gorton(11), Mike Lomax (17)and Graham Butler(9) were delighted to win with just 83 points.

‘We love playing Maxitours, another great course and I can’t believe we won with just 83 points in perfect conditions!’ What a great tour with brilliant like minded golfers!’ Thanks Paul. Glad you had a great day.

Thanks so much for playing with such integrity and supporting the host club. We just keep getting positive comments from everywhere we play.

Yours in golf, Tim
