Results from stunning Romiley

My wife Suzy kindly stepped in for me this morning whilst I was playing. She really enjoyed meeting everyone. I took over at 2pm . If I had a penny for everyone who said I am fighting above my weight I would have exactly 7 pence more than I won in my event this morning.

The Romiley golf course was enjoyed by everyone- it is a really underrated golf course and is once again becoming firmly recognised as a top ten course in Cheshire.

‘Those fairways were like carpets!’ Reported well-travelled and highly respected Russ Sollitt. ‘And the greens were superb also.’ He added.

Thanks to all the staff who looked after us today – you were excellent. Clubhouse manager/company secretary Rachel is brilliant to deal with and the Club has a really friendly warm atmosphere.

I used to coach the Head Pro Graham Drabble when he was a junior. He used to love his golf and if I told him to jump into a river to improve his swing he would’ve done it. It is great to see his reputation growing as he becomes top club pro and excellent coach.

Tony Hope is a lovely fella from the St Helens area. There is lots of chemical factories around there and a few studies suggest this has an impact of this on the local population. Tony went to the bar after his round and asked his team mate what flavour crisps he would like:

‘Do you want onion and cheese or vinegar and salt? ‘

Say no more.

In todays event Tom Faulkner had shot of the day when he holed his approach shot and eagled the tough 4th hole.

Scoring was close throughout the day and it was James Smith, Barry Caldwell, John Lee and Ray Tennant who were leaders in the clubhouse on 82 points. They haven’t featured in the prizes for months. Even Ray Tennant was smiling.

Winning today also after a very barren Summer was the Prestbury team of Geoff Bickerton, Mark Richardson, Steve Best and Steve Booth. They were on fire and won by an impressive 4 shots. Richardson is a cool customer and appeared on Dragons Den a few years ago. The dragons made him an offer but he turned them down. Bickerton had begged him to play in his team and this was an offer too good to refuse. Well played chaps.

Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance today. Incredible.
