Maxitours at Brilliant Bramhall
I had heard great reports about the condition of Bramhall Golf Club this Summer and it certainly lived up to the billing today. The greens are the best I have ever seen them – pure, carpet like and SLICK! The feedback about the quality of the golf course throughout the day was outstanding.
Everyone loves playing at Bramhall, the membership is full and there is a lovely buzz in the beautiful clubhouse. The catering and hospitality were absolutely first class.
Lots of Bramhall members have played Maxitours over the years and when I started out 19 years ago a couple of loyal fourballs really helped my business to get up and running so I will always have a soft spot for this friendly club and its members. Thank you.
Never go to the fairground with Steve Webb. The ‘Hook a duck’ lady will take all your money. The 4th hole is a short par 4 over water in front of the clubhouse and Steve spent five minutes unsuccessfully trying to scoop his ball out of the water. He looked to be enjoying himself though which is the main thing.
Mrs Maxwell ran my event at Vale Royal recently and a few members reported seeing the tame fox which can follow you around on occasion. To amuse myself I told Garry Owens team to tell Suzy that there was also a wild kangaroo on the course. This week Gary was playing again and team mate Alan Gale told Suzy there was a llama on the 17th hole. She didn’t fall for it this time unfortunately but many thanks for trying Alan.
I thought Mrs Maxwell was getting her own back when I saw the results. She put Chris Ravenscrofts’ Hale team down as tied 2nd. After double checking I was amazed that this was in fact a correct score. There is normally more chance of seeing a kangaroo on the course than Chris Ravenscroft, Martin Oldfield Steve Bates and Bob Siddle finishing in the top three but this actually happened at Bramhall today. Superb golf by four lovely blokes.
Sale’s Graham Jenkinson, Alan Drysdale, John Hassett and Gareth Moore also surprised many people including themselves with their 85 to take 2nd on the card play off. Excellent golf by 4 real gentlemen.
The likeable Prestbury team of Pete Atherton, Club Captain Martin Prescott, Nick Hargreaves and Mark Pretty took first place after a career best 88 points. Atherton put his teams’ success down to a couple of substitutions
‘We offloaded regular players Chris Adams and also team sandwich maker Nigel Oakes and immediately things improved’.
The team had a solid round but finished strongly with 7,6 and 6 points to take a well-earned victory. Brilliant.
Thanks to everyone for your incredible support what a great day!
