Maxitours at wonderful Warrington
A great day was enjoyed by all at Warrington, the Club is incredibly friendly and a firm favourite with my players. It was really nice touch to see Club Chairman John Hopkins welcoming our players on the first tee. He can feel proud of this terrific Club.
Thanks also to highly rated Club Manager Lisa Yates who is terrific to work with.
Players were incredibly complimentary throughout the day about the quality of the greens for February. New greenkeeper David Steventon is doing a terrific job and his reputation is rapidly growing. When I arrived at 8am this morning the green keepers were carefully hand cutting the 18th and the course was set up to a very high standard indeed.
Angela who works behind the bar is also a firm favourite with my players. You hear her before you see her but she is a friendly face who enjoys her job:
‘I love your players, some societies we get never crack a smile but your players are great!’ She told me. Thanks Angela – you are the best.
In todays event scoring was excellent as players made the most of the shortened course and smooth putting surfaces. Heyrose’s Phil Dickens, Steve Blakeway, Neil Evans and Paul Robinson took third narrowly losing out on a card play off to Mick Mahon, Richard Palmer , Munro Donald and Andy Faulkner who made the most of their warm weather training in Portugal last month.
Winning were four players also sporting sun tanned faces.
Dave Rhodes, Dave Sarsfield, Lee Tilley and Pete Norbury are incredibly close mates from Saddleworth. They had a shocking season last year but they found some form recently and were delighted with first place today.
Well played guys.
Thanks to all players for your integrity, I had a quick look at the 18th green when we finished playing and there was not a pitchmark in sight. Thank you so much.
Yours in golf,
Tim.
