Maxitours at Bramhall Golf Club
There were a few glassy eyed golfers arriving this morning after the vast majority of my golfers had a long, stressful but an ultimately rewarding night watching Rory McIlroy winning the grand slam. An incredible Masters.
‘How the hell can he miss the 13th green with a little wedge!’ criticised 24 handicapper Tommy Yate when he checked in this morning. He then proceeded to hit a very little wedge into the water when I watched him playing the 4th hole in front of the Clubhouse.
There is a great feel about Bramhall and the Clubhouse is just about the best on the circuit, well lit, modern, classy, friendly atmosphere and great food! I love it here.
Two of my worst players were out on the course today. Stuart Hibbert is off 34.5 but he was upstaged by Trevor Hopes 39.5 handicap. Stuart is a legend and he was very worried that his status as the worst Maxitours golfer of all time was in danger. Fear not Stuart – Trevor can actually play to his handicap on occasions so you are still recognised as the worst golfer I have ever dealt with.
Stuarts team finished 3rd from bottom today.
Dr James Shipstone and his High Legh team took 3rd place with 84 points which was great score in windy conditions on a fiery golf course. This was matched by Mick Mahon, Munro Donald, Gary Clough and Dave Wilson from Mytton Fold who had an excellent back nine.
Winning today with a solid 86 points were the Ashton on Mersey quartet of Steve Woods, Jimmy McEwan, Tony Hope and his brother Trevor Hope also known as ‘no’ (Hope) by his golfing pals. Likeable Trevor was delighted to come in three times today as the team had a storming front nine of 46 before the breeze picked up and they became afflicted with some Rory McIlroy-like tension.
Six points on the seventeenth saw them home despite a nervy three pointer at the last. Well played chaps.
Thanks to everyone for your support and 100% attendance today. Superb.
