Maxitours at delightful Davenport

Davenport Golf Club members can be very proud indeed after their golf course was presented in immaculate condition for todays’ Maxitours event. The blemish free greens were cut and ironed and the putts were rolling straight and true. Many thanks to all the greens staff.

Giles Terry doesn’t get out much but he claimed that the bacon and egg bap was ‘The best I have ever tasted’ . Sam leach also agreed that these are the best bacon barms on the circuit.

Clubhouse manager Fraser is a great guy and he really knows how to look after my special dietary needs – plenty of chips with my pies. Many thanks to Fraser and his top team for their attentive service throughout the day -brilliant job.

The golf course was originally at Davenport near the middle of Stockport but moved to higher Poynton in 1973 where it has now matured into a really enjoyable test of golf.. Neil Omeshers’ ball nearly made it’s way back to the old course after his wild hook on the 15th.

Jim Hodges and Chris Walley had a solid start after they picked up two shots on the tricky opening four holes. Both tee shots on the next found the heart of the green unfortunately they were gutted when it was pointed out that they were incorrectly playing the 14th rather than the 5th. After a two shot penalty they narrowly missed out on the major prizes. ‘Here’s a headline for your report Tim ‘ chuckled unsympathetic playing partner John Barton ‘ At devilishly difficult Davenport dynamic duo disgracefully docked!’
Jim didn’t find it quite as amusing. ‘We are a deeply devastated couple of dxxxheads’ was all he could add.

There was a real threat of thunderstorms throughout the day and the weather stayed warm and dry but at times it was very close. Richard Palmer usually gets in some sticky situations on the golf course, today the Blackburn man just got sticky.

‘It is even stickier out there than when Sticky the stick insect got stuck on a sticky bun’ said sweaty Mark Graham after his warm round.

In today’s event scoring was mostly good due to the still conditions, yellow tees and excellent greens.

Westwood and Donald are two big names in European golf who are both struggling with their games. Today was no different as Dave Westwood and Munro Donald teamed up but could only manage 37 points to lie in 44th place.

Dave Allen played like a comedian as he teamed up with Guy Hall and finished in last place with 33 points.

At the top end of the leader board Knutsford’s lucky John Anderton(9) and High Legh’s Dave Stanhope(11) won a five team card play-off to take 4th place.

Nic Hercules(15) travels around the world working for the UN and when he comes home he relaxes by playing well on Maxitours. The gentle giant finished in 3rd with 45 points playing with Alan Pratt(26).

Second place went to late stand-ins John Horsley(15) who is the hard working Knutsford secretary and his new best friend Paul Maxwell(11). Both players appeared on the card 9 times but it was iron man Horsley who kept things going over the closing holes when Maxwell was wobbling.

Alsager veterans and ever present Maxitours players Bob Sinclair(16) and Geoff Andrews (20) were first out this morning and they made the most of the cool conditions and receptive greens to score 47 points to take first place. Both players had failed to score any order of merit points all season but it all came together at Davenport and these lovely guys were made up to win!

Thanks to all who played today, everyone seemed to really enjoy this lovely Cheshire course.
Yours in Golf, Tim

Results from CRACKING Conwy !!

Thanks to PGA Professional Matt Turnock for running today’s event whilst I tried and failed to get through regional open qualifying.

Still iving the dream!

I hope you had a great day at Conwy it sounds like the course and weather were fantastic – congratulations to all the winners – what’s does it feel like to play good golf? Tim

Matt’s report: Quite stunning conditions for today’s competitors with the gentlest of breezes and sunshine for most of the day. The course could not have been more receptive to good scoring with many taking advantage of the benign conditions.
Tom Griffiths was ruing his partner of choice in Captain elect of Conwy Brendan McNamara as they struggled to 38 points but their fellow playing partners Russell Lewis (4) and Jason Moran (7) had a good knock finishing 4th on count back with 44 points despite Tom claiming potential whiplash injury compensation having to try and follow a few of Russell wayward tee shots.
At the top of the leader board today were two on form pairings Rob Moore (20) and Rick Buckley (16) with a massive 48 points a result of some scrambling that Seve Ballesteros would have been proud of according to their playing partners.
The last match out also recorded 48 points as Hazel Groves Billy Sutton and Duncan Cocker had 26 points on the front nine which included five birdies.
It was tight for the runners up place with four teams tied on 44 points with Koss Anders & Martin Cox firing a huge 26 point back 9 to take 3rd place on count back. Hale Golf Clubs excellent head green keeper Russell Lewis and top steward Jason Moran paired up to take 4th place.

Nearest pin 2nd was – John Buckley Doxen AD333s
Nearest pin 15th was – Paul Salt Dozen AD333s

2’s – £185 pot 13 ProV1’s or 28 Srixon AD333’s

Maxitours at phenomenal Vale Royal
Possibly the fastest greens in Maxitours history were the reward for the 120 golfers or so who travelled to deepest Cheshire today. The course was magnificent and is a real must play course when it is presented in this condition.

The Vale Royal greens are famous for their speed and slopes but they were like glass for this event and all the usual one liners were coming out:

‘It was like Augusta out there’ observed John Rigby.
‘It’s like putting down my car bonnet.’ reported Dave Stanger.
‘arder than a miners ‘at” muttered Yorkshireman Sean Jones.
‘You need to put some chewing gum on your putter to play around here’ said John Dickenson.
‘It’s like putting on kitchen lino’ said wealthy Alderly Edge man Graham Neath( who actually has expensive oak flooring in his kitchen rather than lino according to his playing partners.)

Didsbury’s Keith Thompson hit two magnificent shots onto the par five 18th green. He had to knock in a tricky three footer to secure his bogey six after his putter started to explode in his hands.

In today’s event the nearest nice guy Paul Salt got to the prizes was when I brushed past him in the bar with a handful of shirts I was collecting for one of last weeks’ winners. He finished in a lowly 16th place.

A delighted Alan Forber won nearest the pin on the 10th hole after knocking his approach shot to within 2 feet. ‘He had one good hole and seventeen bad ones ‘ reported honest team mate Joe Yates.

Nick Ford(13) is known as ‘wrangler’ by his golfing friends as he always fades badly towards the end of his round. He dispelled the myth today when collected 4 points with a birdie at the last to earn his team a share of 5th place. Captain Lewis Marland(14) also finished strongly scoring heavily with 4’s on the two long closing holes .

Graham Jackson (10)played great today and even had a ‘real life birdie’ to win some balls on the par three 6th hole. He teamed up with Heyrose men Vernon Hayes(13), Marcus Cooper(10) and Josh Street (scr) to accumulate 81 points and 4th place.

Phil Dermott (6)is a professional linesman in the Championship and also a firefighter- so he earns a fortune and still has plenty of time for golf. All his practice paid off as his low handicap team of Reece Cranfield(+1), Ben Byrum (2)and Paul Hesford(14) finished in third place with 82 points.

Hazel Grove lawyer Simon Ashton (9) Mick Jones(7) Dan Moss (7) and Chris Heyes(5) were out early and they set the pace with an impressive 85 points. The talented team picked up five shots on their closing two holes as Chris Heyes made a solid birdie and showman Mick Jones rolled in an eagle to finish in some style.

Graham Littlers'(18) team also picked up five shots on their two closing holes in an incredibly tight finish, a better back nine saw the veteran Lymm men- which contained two ex Captains -secure a memorable win. Jim Doran(12) Peter Daniels(19) and Brian Hitchen(16) made up the rest of the team, well played chaps – great score.

Thanks to all who played today, I hope you enjoyed this lovely course.
Yours in Golf ,Tim

Maxitours at wonderful Worsley

A lovely soft summers day greeted the one hundred Maxitours golfers who played at lovely Worsley today.

The hosepipe ban is certainly over after recent heavy rainfall but high cloud, sunshine and only a very occasional refreshing shower thrown in were the reward for our travelling players.

The greens were fast and very receptive, even Dave Howson who enjoys playing with plenty of mud in his grooves claimed he got some backspin after hitting one of his better approach shots.

Many thanks to Head Green keeper Nigel who presented the course to an incredibly high standard despite the heavy overnight rain. One of my Maxitours players informed me a couple of weeks ago that the golf course was in great condition and all our players concurred with this after their round today.

‘I don’t know how he does it, those greens were fantastic – they need to pay that green keeper more money!’ reported Steve Heywood.
‘Absolutely first class’ announced Colin Roberts

Very well respected golf pro Andy Cory and the catering staff were all excellent to deal with throughout the day -many thanks indeed.

Full- figured Gareth Bradley from Bramall is a class act and he easily plays to his plus one handicap most weeks without working up a sweat. As he put his clubs in his car after his round he was caught in the only brief shower of the day and he made a short but impressive dash for the clubhouse. Big Gareth was certainly sweating after his run and he struggled to catch his breath as he desperately tried to place his food order with the steward. ‘Can I have a cheese and ham toastie?’ he gasped ‘with extra cheese.’

Softly spoken, unsuccessful golfer John Royle normally enters the clubhouse quietly by the back door each week . After his shock win last week John was nodding, waving and chatting to everyone in the car park he then skipped into the club house with both arms raised in the air and a big smile on his face. He will be coming in the back door once again next week .

John Hunt played with brother Neil Hunt in today’s event. They both played like Noel Hunt as more than a few trick shots disappeared in the deep undergrowth as they finished in a lowly 18th place.

Ryan Giggs was happily pottering in his garden this morning which borders the 5th hole. Giggs amazingly went throughout his entire football career without picking up any serious injuries however he nearly had one today and he had to use all his pace and tricky footwork to avoid a vicious low Dave Stanhope hook .

Steve Johnson (24) plays with his Crewe team every month with absolutely no success whatsoever. Last night he said he was available to play and I teamed him up with the competitive Ed Wilkinson(6), Peter Atherton(11) and Martin France(3). The team finished in third place with 85 points. ‘I ve actually won a prize-I can’t believe it!’ Said a delighted and emotional Johnson.
‘Yeah and we would have won first prize if you’d got us a decent partner Tim’ added France with a friendly wink.

Ashton on Mersey brothers Peter(6) and Gordon Hamlett(10) teamed up with Paul Randall(9) and Gary Hempstead(12) to take 2nd place. Pete nearly got out a hamlet after he missed a costly three footer on the last. He soon forgot about the miss and went home happy after four quick pints in the bar.

RAF fighter pilot Dave Sully(6) from Manchester Hopwood and his team swooped to take first place with 88 points. Steve Heywood (8) Nigel Dibble (11) and Yash Turgot(15) completed the talented quartet. Sully picked up three gross birdies but it was Nigel ‘dribble’ Dibble who lived up to his name as he cleverly lagged his first putt close to the hole to secure a winning par at the last.

Congratulations chaps great victory!
Thanks to all players for your brilliant support, Tim
