Maxitours at super Shrigley Hall

Last nights heavy downpour didn’t stop the well-draining Shrigley Hall course from hosting todays event. Indeed the main issue was some morning mist which reduced visibility for the early starters. More than one team informed me that they were much better when they couldn’t see where they were going.

The final month of Winter begins tomorrow and it was great to see the snow drops appearing around the golf course, there were even a few daffodils looking ready to bloom. Hopefully we have broken the back of winter and a glorious Summer awaits us..

Humble Jonny Barton was late checking in.

His team couldn’t remember his handicap – I think he’s a 15 or 16 suggested Chris Walley.

‘I’m much worse than that’ Admitted Jonny when he eventually turned up. ‘I’m surprised my team didn’t know what a bad player I am.’

He actually played well today and was delighted with a 4th place finish.

Three teams shared 1st place on 87 points. This was a great score despite a few forward tees as the course was still playing long and tough.

Sun tanned Mick Mahon and his team of Richard Palmer, Nick Tomlinson and Alan Moorby recently returned after a successful showing in the Algarvian Classic, they continued their fine form finishing 3rd on the card play off.

Martin Humphries, Barry Caldwell, Paul Woods and Jonny Lee took 2nd but picking up 46 points on the closing nine was Dukinfields John Harrop, Chris Burnett, Neil Hodgkiss and Lee Compton.

Excellent golf, well played guys.

Thanks for all your support today.

A lovely day was enjoyed by all.
