Maxitours at wonderful North Wales
An incredible Spring day was enjoyed by all of today’s players at North Wales.
‘I’ve played here a lot.’ said well-travelled Steve Heywood. ‘But that was the best condition I’ve ever seen North Wales golf course – terrific!’
As well as one of the most enjoyable golf courses on the Maxitours rota Jamie the Clubhouse manager is the best in the business, food and hospitality here is exceptional. Thanks for supporting him throughout the day, he loves our event and appreciates your support.
For some reason the recent cold wind stopped blowing, there was warmth in the sun and the sky was crystal clear.
Richard Wakefield thinks Carol Kirkwood is attractive but talks nonsense – apparently she forecast a minus two wind chill – Richard was playing in his shirt sleeves as the sun shone on the lovely old Mancunian.
Govindha Sehmi is a top man and he said today was one of the best days of his life. Brilliant.
Martin Humphries was gulping down the North Wales fresh air after hyperventilating on the 5th tee after starting with two pars and two birdies. A couple of bogeys on the 5th and 6th helped him to relax and lower his heart rate.
Cheltenham was on the TV today but it was Paul O’Gara and his Bramhall team who fell at the first picking up just two points. To be fair they jumped back on the saddle and recovered well for a respectable 79 points.
The front nine was playing about 7 shots easier than the back nine. Nick Colemans Tytherington team had the best of the day 48 points on the way out before a solid 39 gave them 87 points to take third place. John Croxford, Malcolm Kendrick and Steve Dow completed the team.
Second place went to Jim Caldwell, Lee Charnley, Andrew Aherne and John Roome with 88 points. John Roome did the damage scoring over 40 points with his own ball to be the anchor man of the team.
Phil Dickens and his Heyrose team of Neil Evans, Paul Robinson and John Cross took first place with 90 points. Likeable Dickens recorded his first ever eagle on a par four after holing his seven iron on the testing tenth hole for a five pointer. The team actually dropped a shot over the three tricky closing holes but were delighted with their victory.
‘Make sure you mention my two in your write up Tim.’ Begged delirious Dickens as he exited the clubhouse.
Thanks to everyone for your support today. Superb
