Maxitours at fabulously friendly Knutsford
Maxitours golfers were warmly welcomed to my home stunning course Knutsford.
The daffodils were out, the Tatton deer were strolling next to the first tee, birds were singing and the sun was cracking the flags.
With the possible exception of Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia there is nowhere better to play your golf this Spring.
The club is famous for its friendly members and hospitality and we hope you were made to feel very welcome today.
Thanks to Steve Barker and his world class catering team who looked after us so well. The bacon baps are as good as you can buy at any Golf Club in the North. Thanks to all the green staff who were up at the crack of dawn to prepare the course- excellent.
It was great to see Richard Palmer back playing Maxitours today. He always has a March and April break as he breeds sheep. He has ‘given birth’ to 1100 lambs this Spring with only 50 sheep yet to pop. He looked tired but still managed a 2nd place finish with his 43 points playing alongside Munro Donald. He loses about 5% of his lambs at birth which in an uncanny twist of fate is the same loss rate as his pro V1’s with his driver. He was straight today though and delighted with his high finish.
Scoring was exceptionally close throughout the day with four teams leading for much of the day after also scoring 43 points.
Neil Pemberton and Dave Bessant took 5th, Knutsfords Max Eaton and Charismatic Dave Walters were 4th and Ian George and Colin Gallimore were 3rd after a card play off.
Late in the day Maxitours regulars Peter Maher and Garry Phillips returned a stunning 49 points. Both these guys have played over 30 Maxitours events in the last 12 months and not won a sausage. They looked more shocked than Rory McIlroy after his chip into the water on the 13th. Peter won a singles event here nearly ten years ago and the great memories came flooding back.
‘We loved those greens declared Garry- I couldn’t miss!’
Very popular winners indeed!
Thanks to everyone for your sup
port today I hope you had a great day.
