Maxitours at lovely and sunny Llangollen
Another cracking Spring day greeted Maxitours competitors in deepest North Wales this morning. The fairway lining trees were decorated with fresh green leaves and Spring lambs were frolicking on the mountainsides. This place is idyllic.
Everyone arrives nice and early at Llangollen as the journey here only takes just over an hour from Manchester. People tend to allow nearer two hours so there is plenty of time to get some breakfast. The old Caterers at Llangollen are back in town -Phil and Gaynor were here when I first came 17 years ago and they have returned by popular demand. They are the best. The bacon baps are served on locally sourced bread at the ridiculously cheap price of £4 a butty- far too cheap but taste great.
Forty nine year old Martin Humphries felt like a Spring Chicken today. His three playing partners had an average age of 80. The team had a solid round before old age caught up with them and they dropped 4 shots in the closing two holes.
Stuart Blake was first out this morning and he hit a great shot into the 18th hole to be nearest the pin. This was leading all day until the very last shot of the day. I was waiting to pick the marker up when Steve Heywood ripped a 7 iron to within three feet. Unlucky Stuart.
In todays event scoring was close with three teams sharing 4th with 80 points.
Peter Maher is getting back to his best and he led his Bramall Park team into 3rd spot with 81 points. Excellent scoring on a tough golf course. Attractive Fiona Kelsall and less attractive Bob Kelsall and even less attractive Nigel Hall supported him well.
Lymm’s lovable quartet of Sam Leach, Jonny Barton, Chris Whalley and John Mather had an impressive 82 points to take 2nd.
Winning today was Jim Caldwell, Steve Perrett, John Roome and Dan McIntyre. Second match out making the most of the perfectly still conditions and receptive greens they posted an impressive 84 points. A wonderful birdie on the last from Dan secured the win. Well played everyone.
I hope you enjoyed your visit to Wales.
