Results from Stunning Stockport

Maxitours results from Superb Stockport

It was another ‘day in a million’ for the full field of Maxitours competitors who turned up at Stockport Golf Club. Clear blue skies and barely a breath of wind meant a hugely enjoyable day was had by all.
‘Those greens are amazing for this time of year’ was the main sentiment echoing around the grand Stockport Clubhouse as the happy teams returned their cards.

I need to apologise to last weeks surprise winner and top bloke Howard Baker who was only referred to as ‘Baker’ in last weeks report (which mainly focused on his more talented partner Steve Lowe.) Today Howard was brought back down to earth as he had to settle for a lowly 27th place playing alongside Pete Cleaver.

Steve Roberts(5) played great golf when won the Cheshire Amateur Championship at Bromborough in 1981. After a successful business career away from golf he declared to his delighted partner Frank Gill on the 1st tee today that he had ‘come out of the wilderness and am back to playing my best’. Their 31 point haul was just good enough to earn them a top 50 finish. ‘He might have come out of the wilderness but his ball was certainly in it a lot today’ said a frustrated Gill.

Many quality golfers have played the beautiful Stockport course, indeed in the 1920’s Harry Braid, JH Taylor, Harry Vardon and Sandy Herd played an exhibition match at Stockport, between them they had won the Open Championship over 18 times! Bob Sutton, David Kelly, Jonty Geake and Dennis Bamford between them have won the Knutsford Tuesday morning roll up over twenty times. Today they had their own little exhibition match and there was a truly incredible variety of shots played by that particular four ball.

Scoring was tight in todays event and Mark Wheeler and Dave Murphy narrowly took fourth place ahead of Iain Bartholomew(3) and John Hilditch(11).

Ron Atkinson’s son in law, Ross Sellors(12), teamed up with John Buckley(11) from The Mere. Sellors parred his final four holes and his strong finish earned the Mere duo a career best 4th place.

Chris ‘also ran’ Hegarty(8) never delivers the goods. Today he teamed up with Cheshire haulage legend Rueben Fielding(12) who transported him around the course in style. Hegarty was really motoring and he incredibly birdied the 14th, 15th and 18th holes and the two top blokes drove off with second place.

Taking todays honours were Mark Kilgallon(16) and Brian Gibbons. Both players contributed 9 times in an excellent team effort, however Kilgallons birdie on the 17th really gave them some momentum after a slow start. Well played chaps!

Thanks for your support once again today,
Yours in Golf,
Tim

Maxitours at Ringway

Once again todays players were treated to clear blue Autumn skies. The brisk wind prevented anyone from overheating under the warm November sun.

Ringway is famous for its attractive blonde Secretary and brunette barmaids. Even respected Head-Pro Nick Ryan had a haircut recently in order to not let the side down. All the catering staff were also superb. The golf course was magnificently presented. Many thanks for you hospitality Ringway!

Colin Baxendale has had plenty of bad luck recently and he has also struggled for form in recent weeks. Things reached an all time low today for Colin. The balls were thrown in the air on the 1st tee to decide who would play with whom in a friendly match within his team. His ball took a bad bounce and trickled into an unplayable lie in a nearby bunker.

Maxitours events reached new heights when Phil Vokes(2) turned down meeting the Queen in order to play at Ringway. His Charity working wife was invited by Royal Appointment to lunch this afternoon as they were visiting Manchester . She was delighted to be seated next to the Duke of Edinburgh whilst her husband opted for the links. Phil was honoured to present his wife with some Cleveland winter mitts as his Didsbury team of Paul Dalby(4), Paul Sherlock(5) and Barney Ross(4) finished fourth.

On form Tony Cooper(11) and Liam Harrison(8) teamed up with Phil Davies(10) and undertaker Phil Williams(16). Before play most of his team asked for the bacon to be well done on their pre round baps. Williams asked for his to be cremated. They finished third despite Phil’s ball finding several watery graves.

Second place went to nice guys and ever present Maxitour players from Bramall, Ian King(9), Joe Kirwan(5), Darren Whittaker(14) and Alex Elliott(1). Kirwan regularly plays poorly with me in various local pro ams however today he was inspired and all the team contributed well for an excellent 83 points.

Brian Hopkins(7) has played in most events this summer with average success. He usually partners steady Alan Pengelly(14) and they both hit lovely controlled draws. Before teaming up with Charles Herbert(16) and Ross Birch(8) today they both thought that a ‘wild slice’ was a vegetarian pasty you could buy in Greggs bakery. Today they saw plenty of wild slices as Herbert regularly found adjoining fairways however some terrific recovery play saw them take the honours with 84 points, very well played chaps.

Thanks to all players for your terrific attendance once again today.
