Dear Maxitours player,

I have spoken to officials at the Club and unfortunately due to the 2 inches of overnight snow, we have decided it is almost certain that Wilmslow will be unplayable tomorrow.

After a few telephone calls the event has been moved to Conwy Golf Club.However, tee times are slightly limited and I must therefore allocate teams on a first to confirm by email/text- first served basis. I had 23 teams of four due to play at Wilmslow and room for just 18 at Conwy.

The following times are available.
Please confirm by email/text if you wish to play and your preferred start time.

Dear Maxitours player,

A heavy frost is forecast on Sunday night, the Wilmslow Golf Club policy is for temporary greens to come into operation if that is the case.

The event will go ahead at the reduced cost of £20.
Please let me know if you are unable to play.

Please check the website http://www.maxitoursgolf.com tomorrow and Monday morning as any snowfall could lead to a postponement and I will update the site immediately with any changes to the situation.

Many thanks,
Yours in Golf,
Tim.

Maxitours at The Knutsford Golf Club.

The new year started in fine style at The Knutsford Golf Club today.

A superbly prepared golf course (thanks to Mark Dingle and his expert team,) fine weather and free doughnuts at the half way house ensured a great day was had by all. Thanks also to our top steward and stewardess Ian and Anne for their excellent hospitality throughout the day.

Christmas had really taken its toll once again this year with many of today’s players looking heavier than usual. Only John Royle from Sale looked trim and he has been off his food with a virus for the last six weeks.

Dave Blood knows the Knutsford golf course drains really well but his team mates thought he was just a little too optimistic as he decided to wear his crisp white waterproof pants despite three days of heavy rain. His pals ridiculed him in the clubhouse but he was delighted to finish the front nine still looking remarkably smart and mud free. Unfortunately his team had the last laugh when some careless eating from Dave resulted in a massive raspberry jam doughnut spillage down his trouser leg.

Colin Roberts(18) and Jeff Andrews(18) from Alsager play in a four ball every week with good mates John and Bob. Today they were only a two so I introduced them to new playing partners Steve McDermott(13) and scratch player John Russell. ‘I’m not used to playing with good golfers’ said a worried Roberts. Colin and Jeff then played great on the front nine before Russell and McDermott moved through the gears to score 24 points on the back nine to finish in 3rd spot with a 43 point haul. ‘It was a pleasure to watch them hit the ball!’ said an awestruck Andrews.

Ernie Els rolled back the years today as he opened up with a 67 to take the lead in the South African Open, today at Knutsford it was also the older players who were at the top of the leader board.

John Hilton(10) and his slightly younger looking partner Richard Blackwell(13) scored 45 points to take 2nd spot. Blackwell magically birdied the 17th for 4 points. Taking the honours were the even older pairing of Jim Reynolds(15) and GB Table tennis coach Brian Keen(20) from Ashton on Mersey. Reynolds was on fire over the closing six holes and his birdie on the 13th narrowly secured the card play-off and their first ever Maxitours victory! Very well played chaps.

Thanks to everyone for playing today! I hope you all really enjoy your golf this coming year.
Tim.
