Tomorrow is the final day to let me know if you want a week in the sun this Jan/Feb playing three of the best courses in Europe. I can squeeze just 1 more team into each event! Life is too short to get cold and miserable this Winter.
Maxitours at wonderful Reddish Vale
The Reddish Vale course was in fine condition for todays Maxitours event. The drainage here is incredible and any rain finds its way straight into the beautiful river Thame. Head green keeper Aran, Golf manager Alan Booth and golf pro Andy Myers are all at the top of their game and look after us incredibly well.
This is a little wildlife haven in the middle of Stockport. The river is full of fish and the trees are alive with birds. Otters were spotted along the river bank last year. Although it could possibly have been a local cat that swims very well and has a sharp haircut.
The day started in sunshine but rain moved in at 1pm and the final few groups found it tough going.
The best scores therefor were all from the early morning groups.
One of the nicest guys in the golf industry is Andy Parrington from Withington Golf Club and he helped his team into a best of the season 2nd place. Andy Taylor, Ted Lacey and Steve Green all contributed well.
Winning was Jon Hudson’s Bramall Park team with an excellent 87 point return. Jon is another regular Maxitours player and this is the first win in well over a year for the charismatic quartet. Brilliant.
Thanks to everyone for playing today.
Yours in golf, Tim
