*Another team spot just filled at the Algarvian Classic 1 on 16th January – 2 team spots left for this amazing event in the Portuguese sunshine.
Maxitours at Vale Royal
Day one of the Cheshire Classic saw us visit the superb Vale Royal Golf Club.
A gloomy start then gave way to glorious sunshine at 11.30am and as temperatures rose so did the scores.
‘That is a well designed golf course.’ Declared likeable Martin Humphries. ‘Its brilliant and getting better.’
‘Cracking golf course. It’s a real favourite of mine.’ Announced John Webb who has played all the greatest courses in the world.
I haven’t had quite so many great comments for a long time as Vale Royal was loved by all.
Ian Embury runs a tight ship and his staff were a real credit to him as we were looked after like kings throughout the day.
Scoring was tight with 4 teams on 82 points all looking forward to making their moves tomorrow.
Gary Neiles wins todays event but isn’t paying at Hazel Grove
Full report and prize breakdowns after Day 2 tomorrow. (no team can win more than 1 prize)
It is all to play for!!
