Maxitours at super Stockport.
Maxitours players were treated to breakfast in very glamourous surroundings as the new clubhouse refurbishment was unveiled to my players today. Reports were 100% positive. The interior looks fantastic. If Mrs Maxwell was running the event this week she might be painting our walls Stockport golf club blue. It did look good to be fair. Well done to everyone at Stockport.
Daisy and Hannah also need a mention for looking after us so well. Rob the head greenkeeper did plenty of maintenance work on the course last week and then did a tremendous job to get it in shape for us today. Brilliant.
Scouser Gavin Connor calmly handed his scorecard in after his round. He then checked his phone, made a funny noise and started jumping up and down waving his arms around wildly. I was going to ask for help when I managed to hear him mention something about Jack Grealish signing for his beloved Everton. Let’s hope they never win anything or he could end up in hospital.
Jonny Barton was looking slightly orange when he handed his card in. He was covered in a light dusting of sand. He had been in ten bunkers.
‘ I needed my bucket and spade today.’ Reported the likeable Lymm legend.
‘ By the end of the day I was looking for a dead crab to put on top of my castle.’
Richard Blackwell was playing with three guys even older than he was. The total age of the team was over 300 years.
‘We have all been playing golf for over 200 years and we still don’t know what to do!’ They joked before their round. They actually called upon all of their experience and finished with 88 points today to take 2nd place.
Winning on a card play off was the Knutsford team of Norrie Erwin, Dave Walters, Jim Clarke and Heyrose’s Graham Jackson. A few of you may know 18 handicapper Dave Walters as the incredibly popular friendly guy who worked at the Beeches driving range giving out free tips on the golf swing despite not having a clue what he is talking about. A bit like myself really.
Today, he was on fire and had a career best score of 82 to lead his team home. Graham Jackson, Jim Clarke and Norrie Erwin all came in nicely as the team won their first event for over two years on a card play-off. Congratulations chaps.
Thanks to everyone for your support and attendance today.
Yours in golf, Tim
