ROOM in the Clarion Masters at VALE ROYAL Weds 25th June!
Maxitours at Delightful Davenport
A brilliant days golf at Davenport was enjoyed by well over 100 Maxitours players.
Clubhouse manager Frazer has been here for 16 years and is loved by all the members and visitors alike, Ex European Tour player and club pro Tony Stevens is a class act and delighted to be named Club Captain next year.
There is something special about this club. After their round so many players came into the clubhouse and told me how much they enjoyed playing the course- it was incredible.
I think it is the peaceful surroundings which make this so pleasurable – you are up in the hills miles from the nearest main road, shops or housing estates. And the views over the Cheshire plain are outstanding.
Despite the views Kevin Hart had a bad day. His team let him down on the course. To cheer himself up he phoned his home pro to see who he had drawn in the US Open sweep.
All I could hear was ‘Who the hell is Scott Vincent? I’ve got more chance of winning the US Open than he has.’
Conditions were tough. I think the scoring is possibly the lowest in Maxitours history today as the Davenport greens got the better of my players today. The wind was up and retired commercial airline pilot Dave Keen reported that a 50 mile an hour squall went through causing him to three putt. Likeable Keen admitted that he wouldn’t fancy landing a plane in these conditions.
It is a good job Dave Smith was in the Hale team this afternoon. He recorded a career best four gross birdies on the closing nine holes. Despite this his team came home in just 35 points. ‘I only play with them because they are nice blokes.’ Admitted seven handicapper Smith
Chris Lee was delighted not to be in the prizes after scoring 71 today. He won an expensive new Galvin Green ratchet belt recently but fastened it too tight and was late going to bed as he couldn’t take his pants off. It took him and his wife nearly an hour to take them off. He hasn’t used it since.
Hazel Grove’s Mike Wood(14) is rightly proud of his daughter Amie Lou Wood who is a famous Hollywood actress and was in White Lotus. Mike did some great acting himself when he impersonated a good golfer for a few holes. He played alongside his son Frankie(6), Darren Wilkinson(8) and George Aizlewood(11) As the team finished second with 81 points.
They beat Dave Rhodes(13), Lee Tilley(9), Peter Sparkes(11) and Dave Sarsfield(15) on a card play off who were delighted to find some form before the Welsh Classic.
Winning today was Wychwoods Dave Goodwin(8), Richard Williamson(8), Paul Woodbine(6) and Alex Smith(7). This team was regularly near the bottom of the leaderboard before Sir Alex joined the team and put them back on top of the perch. 82 points was excellent on a tough day on a quality course. Thanks to everyone for playing. What a day!
