Maxitours at delightful Davyhulme
Another big bullet was dodged today as storm Benjamin skirted Manchester and my players had a glorious day on an excellent golf course.
Davyhulme Park is an incredibly friendly club and it is always a pleasure to visit the impressive clubhouse which is steeped in history.
‘I like playing here!’ Declared knowledgeable Martin Humphries. ‘The course is as flat as a pancake but really interesting.’
‘That was a lovely day. It’s a pleasure walk around here. It’s good at my age not to have to negotiate any hills. Its flatter than a witches txx, but a really, really great test.’ Reported insightful Dave Singleton.
Club pro Maryn Hamer was a fine player and has now turned himself into a highly respected coach and club professional. It’s always great to chat to him about how lucky we are to have the life of a golf pro . He looks after us really well.
Scoring was tough on a golf course which was playing long due to recent rainfall. Jon Hudsons Bramall Park team took 3rd with 82 points. Mike Hill, 81 year old Rob Blain and Rob Hughes completed the on-form quartet.
Bramhall’s Ian King teamed up with Andy Dean, Andy Hagan and Andy Wisedale took 2nd place to record his best finish for years with an impressive 84 points.
Winning today were the Yorkshire quartet of Rob Platt(5), Darren Wilson(5), Tom Barstow(9) and Tom Broadhead(11) who recorded an excellent 86 points. All the best scores were recorded by the early groups who made the most of the calm conditions before the wind picked up later in the day.
Thanks to everyone for getting round in 4 hours – that is superb and really helps everyone’s enjoyment of the day.
Yours in golf, Tim
