Room for 1 team has just come free at Hopwood on Monday – a truly great golf course!

Maxitours at charming Chorley

A breezy Autumn day greeted Maxitours competitors at Chorley. There was the constant threat of showers but once again we got lucky and a great day was enjoyed by all.

This morning at 5am the course was flooded after 20 millimetres of rain fell but the green keepers were out preparing the course for us and the greens were superb despite the overnight rain.

Thanks to Club Pro Andy Palmer for looking after us so well, he can’t do enough to help and is a top player and a top, top, Club professional.

There is never a dull moment when Martin Humphries plays. He’s a brilliant lad but has been known to talk nonsense and he was at it again today watching the golf at Wentworth in the clubhouse:

‘It’s great to see Justin Rose playing so well. He’s having a real baptism of fire this year.’

‘What the hell are you talking about Martin? Do you mean Rose is having a second wind this year?’

‘Oh yeah. That’s the one!’

Scoring was close on the tricky Chorley course and there weren’t many shots flying around for anyone.

Late in the day the Hazel Grove team of Mick Jones, Mike Woods, Ian Martin and Darren Wilkinson scored 1 point on the 3rd hole but then caught fire on the back nine to take 3rd place with 83 points pipping Colin Roberts and his Alsager team and Martin Prescot and his Prestbury team.

Second place went to Tytherington’s Andy Hayward, Howard Kelly, Paul Unwin and Malc Kendrick. Howard and Paul had great birdies on the long 17th to really help the team score.

Winning a card play-off also with 84 points to take the first win for nearly a year were the ever-present Myton Fold Golf Clubs team of Mick Mahon(17), Richard Palmer(5), Andy Faulkner(8) and Russ Keighley(11). The incredibly likeable quartet were delighted and surprised to win with just 84 points. Mick is almost unrecognisable after a smart haircut recently and in an incredible coincidence his golf game is also looking much tidier. Excellent golf chaps!

Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance once again.
