Maxitours at flipping cold Fleetwood

Many thanks to the nearly full field of Maxitours competitors for braving the elements at Fleetwood today. The rain was not too heavy but a brisk and cool Westerly wind made for testing conditions.

The fairways and greens were firm and dry and players shoes were a little damp after the rain but there were no muddy trousers and the links turf was a pleasure to play off.

‘Those greens are terrific!’ Reported Dave Rhodes – ‘They are slick!’

The course was playing so long into the heavy wind Jim Cox thought he was playing with a punctured golf ball. ‘That was tough’ Admitted the Denton legend. The wind strengthened later in the day as storm Eowyn started to hit the mainland.

I had a quick drive into Fleetwood to have a quick look around the promenade and other attractions. I thought that us golfers were daft but there was a lone chap happily sailing his model boat on the choppy boating lake. Living the dream.

I knew it was going to be a long day when John Fitzsimmons gave me his player’s names this morning.

‘I’m playing with Barry Wilson, Steve Aspinall and his wife Barbara but I can’t remember Barbara’s surname’ He told me.

‘Its not Aspinall is it?’ I asked him. ‘Oh yeah, that’s right’

Thanks so much for playing today everyone – the forecast wasn’t great but your integrity is always appreciated and part of the reason we get invited back to these clubs each year.

Scoring was tough but the gritty Denton team of Neale Laurent, John Harrop, Gary Berrisford and Lee Compton pipped the Sandiway team on the card play off.

Well played lads- great fighting.

Yours in golf, Tim
