Maxitours at magnificent North Manchester Golf Club

It was great to return to North Manchester after a fifteen year break. There are exciting times ahead for this Club as the state of the art Clubhouse will open in early 2027. It looks amazing.

The course was playing tough, overnight rain, cool conditions and a strong breeze made it a very stern test of golf. Players were really impressed by the layout and we will be back next Summer to experience the course at its very best.

I’ve not seen Club Pro Jason Peel for fifteen years . He’s a top lad and well loved by all is peers. His hair was showing plenty of grey and there was a little more chubbiness to his smile than I remember. It’s incredible how some guys age yet I still manage to look exactly the same as I did thirty years ago.

Dave More’O’Farrells wife Collette loves me. We’ve never actually met but every now and then Dave brings me homemade pies and cakes she has made for me. They are incredible. Tandoori sausage rolls today followed by lemon drizzle cake was to die for. Thanks Mrs O.

There was romance in the air today. Steve and Janet Heywood were married on 28th October 1989. Things were a bit tight but they saved up and held their reception at North Manchester golf Club. Exactly 36 years to the day they were back at North Manchester Golf Club, still happily married and enjoying playing Maxitours golf with each other. Brilliant.

Barry Caldwell is a relatively new Maxitours player and entered a team into all the Summer fixtures. The team are all single players but have been frustrated by a lack of success. Today was their day. In possibly the strongest wind experienced all season his team had a solid 79 points to take first place.

Caldwell lives near St Helens and his company makes reinforced glass for barges. His talented team cruised to a four stroke victory. Well played chaps.

Bramhall’s Ian King, Andy Hagan, Andy Dean and Mark Grahamslaw took 2nd with 75 points pipping Sandiways John McGee, Martin Molyneaux and John Colquitt into 3rd spot.

Thanks to everyone for your support,

Yours in golf, Tim
