Maxitours at Alaster Mackenzies wonderful Reddish Vale

Reddish Vale was presented in superb condition for todays event. Respected head green keeper Arron incredibly only has 2 other members on his team. They are real grafters and cut and ironed the greens and prepared all bunkers for us before the first fourball teed off just before 9.30am.
‘Those greens were really excellent!’ Declared experienced Lancashire Senior player Simon Raines. ‘Absolutely Superb for mid-October.’ There were plenty of positive comments throughout the day which is always good to hear.

‘That is just a great course.’ Was all Bob Kelsall could say.

Frank Greening was tying his shoe laces this morning and I could see he had no studs left in his well-worn shoes.
‘I think you need those studs changing Frank!’ I informed him using all the knowledge gained from my 35 years as a golf professional.
‘Not to worry.’ He replied.
When he finished his round he had a muddy smear mark up his back.
‘Did you slip Frank?’
‘Yes.’
‘Not to worry.’ I added.

Mike Baker played today. He’s a great bloke and has sponsored European Tour professionals and played golf all over the world. He had a birthday recently. ‘Did you get anything nice?’ I asked him.
‘My wife used to take me to the best links courses in the world for my birthday present. Now she just buys me Links deodorant.’ I think he was joking.

In todays’ event there were excellent scores from several teams. Even Dave Smith’s Hale team scored 80 points.
Manchester United fans Lee Tilley(11), Dave Sarsfield(17), Dave Rhodes(14) and Pete Norbury(17) have given themselves three years to turn their golf around and things looked up today as they took third place with 83 points.
Clitheroe low handicap players Simon Raine(40, Denis Greenup(2), Phil Cort (5)and Roland Horridge (11) took second with 84 points. Excellent golf.
Leading the way was eighty year old Dave Cooper(18) from Wrexham, Paul Fell(5), Colin Bryan(8) and Paul Nightingale(8) with 85 points. The likeable quartet teed off early this morning and were delighted with their score. ‘We even left a few out there.’ Said modest Fell.

Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance.
Really appreciate it as always.
Thanks Tim
