Maxitours at brilliant Hazel Grove
Hazel Grove was absolutely beautiful today. Sitting in the foothills of the peak district there are few better places to play golf on a sunny Autumn day.
Thanks so much to Margaret and her team -she is a legend and they raised £285 for her Charity St Annes hospice at her half way house. Thanks so much for your generosity. Maxitours players were just asked for donations towards the lovely cakes and drinks and your class shone through.
Nick also parked the cars for us as it is one of the busiest days of the year for this lovely Cheshire Club. I’ve never known a club with so many volunteers. Lovely giving people. Excellent.
Blackburn based Mick Mahon and his team had a night out enjoying the high life in Alderley Edge. They were definitely talking a bit posher than usual when they checked in this morning. Retired Blackburn doctor and tea mate Munro Donald is not daft and he had woken early and spent all morning looking around the Charity shops for some bargains. ‘There was some nice stuff but a bit too pricey for me.’ Declared the wealthy retired GP.
For some reason Alan Vaughan has convinced himself that he is a medium. He won a top a few weeks back. I tried to let him know that the large would be a better fit but he wouldn’t listen. He is currently in the changing rooms trying to get out of the top. I have let the staff know as it could be a while.
A team of four Jet 2 pilots played today. The match behind told me that their balls were crashing into trees and landing all over the place. I am going home to change my upcoming overseas flight to East Jet.
In todays event Colin Bryan had a hole in one on the extra 18B hole as his team finished in 3rd- congratulations.
Scoring was exceptionally close in the overall 2 day event and it was won by Jim Clarkes team who scored 79 points on day one and just 76 points today for a 155 total. They have no idea they are in the reckoning as most of yesterdays top teams were only playing one day. Incredibly they didn’t finish in the top seven either day, slow and steady sometimes wins the race! Graham Jacksons golf has improved since he improved his diet. He now won’t touch a mars bar until he has had a bacon sandwich. Congratulations chaps!
