Maxitours at classy Crewe Golf Club.
Crewe was tremendously enjoyable to play this afternoon. The weather was great and course is a favourite of mine, incredibly well designed and interesting. The par three 8th is one of the finest short holes in Cheshire.
The James Braid course was built as the expanding railway provided the locals with plenty of money to invest in the increasingly popular game. The nearby famous Rolls Royce factory also provided a steady stream of members before production finished there in 2002. The course sits in the middle of nowhere so is a really peaceful location to enjoy playing golf.
Three Bramhall teams played today, this is the start of their Christmas celebrations and all three teams finished in the top ten. They were heading out for a beer tonight. Three teams from Eaton also played but they might be having a quiet night in after occupying three of the bottom four spots.
Scoring was excellent as players scored heavily on the shortened holes and enjoyed putting on the freshly cut smooth greens.
Dave Goodwin, Phil Robinson, Richard Williamson and Dave Snape are great blokes and they took third with a season best 88 points. They kept hanging around the registration table – are we still winning? Have we won? No.
Heyrose members Paul Robinson(21), Neil Pemberton(14), Tom Faulkner(11) and Sean Haskins(9) had a terrific 91point haul which looked good enough to win, Paul and Neil made great pars on their closing hole to pick up 6 points.
Unfortunately for them they were pipped by Paul Fell(6), Nigel Ashton(11), Stuart Rogers(8) and Colin Bryan(8) who scored an impressive 92 points. This team is ever present in my events and have had a very barren Summer and Autumn, they were delighted to win the final event before Christmas however. There were five par 3’s on the course today and Fell birdied a Maxitours record four of them! Even Nigel Ashton played superbly. Well played chaps excellent golf.
Thanks to everyone for all your support this year. Keep enjoying your golf and the friendships you have. We are all very lucky indeed.
Happy Christmas! Tim, Suzy, Ella and James.
