Maxitours at perfect Preston
Preston was in superb condition for todays event. The greens were immaculate and so were the fairways. There was a fresh breeze throughout the day which kept scores lower than usual around this fantastic golf course.
‘That’s my favourite course we play!’ Declared intelligent Maxitours ever-present Neale Laurent.
It’s a long day for me at Preston as I hand cards out at the range and I don’t have a chair to sit in all day as I stand behind the repairs desk. I still enjoy myself though and it’s great fun especially when I have to answer daft questions.
‘Where is the pro shop?’ Asked Peter Newey when he checked in.
‘It’s that huge thing three yards to my left, the big room you are looking at with lots of golf things you can buy, Peter.’
The Lancashire county championship was hosted here last week and there were several plus three and plus four players in the field. Over four rounds and out of 140 scratch golfers nobody finished under par which reflects how tricky this layout can play despite being a relatively short course.
Only six teams scored more than eighty points today off yellow tees which again shows both the difficulty of the course and also the tremendous integrity of my players.
Winning with a hard fought 84 points and a superb 45 point back nine were Dave Hughes(13), Steve Lamont(6), Andy Clarkson(6) and Pete Gold (8). Pete struck Gold on the tough 18th hole where he made only the second birdie of the day to take the card play off victory. Dave Hughes parred the famous last three holes. Superb.
Well played chaps.
Very popular winners indeed.
