Maxitours at wonderful Wychwood Park
A chillier day than predicted greeted Maxitours competitors at Wychwood Park. The course has lots of fantastic holes and is a proper test of golf. Possibly the toughest venue on the circuit but comments were very, very positive about this brilliantly designed track.
‘That’s a fantastic course!’ declared Lancaster’s likeable Peter Griggs.
‘Excellent championship course -really enjoyable!’ Announced Tytherington’s David More’O’Farrell who is the only Maxitours player whose name is longer than his drives.
Old Jim Heywood is a brilliant bloke. I wish I was his golf pro. Last year he went for his yearly check up with the doctor and he had shrunk an inch, the same thing just happened this year so he needs to be fitted for a new set of clubs and his waterproof trousers are now too long so he needs a new suit. If he carries on shrinking at this rate he will disappear completely in 2075. Looking on the bright side his pro will have made a fortune by then.
The course is great fun to play and doesn’t have a weak hole and is a proper Championship course. I always really enjoyed missing the cut here when I played on the Europro tour.
The long course also got the better of Dave Griffiths ‘I’m going home for a sleep.’ Was all he could mutter after his round.
Best front nine of the day was Paul Salt’s Heyrose team who were out in 45 points before hitting the wall and returning in 34 points.
Four teams shared second place with 83 points. But it was Boltons Gary Myerscough, Steve Booth, his son Jamie and John Dempsey who won the card play off to take silver.
Winning was Dentons Jim Cox(8), Andy Sandham(8), Steve Jenkinson(10) and Nick Green(8) with an impressive 85 points. These guys play in all my Winter events and last year they were hopeless and didn’t sniff a top three all season. In fact, this is their first win in over 15 years of trying! Team Captain Dave Blood was missing today after a knee operation. Expect some serious grief Dave. Well played team!
Please park in designated spots only next week at Warrington – plenty of spaces in the top car park.
Thanks Tim
