Dear Maxitours players,

Tomorrows event is cancelled due to the awful weather forecast. Thanks so much for your support.

North Wales have been terrific to deal with and we will try and reschedule. Your support of the rescheduled event would be appreciated by myself and the club.

You are now free to have a lovely day shopping with the Mrs.

Thank you,

Tim

Maxitours Spring festival of golf continues at stunning North Wales on Thursday!

Tee times available!

Maxitours at the best nine hole golf course in the North -Knutsford

Knutsford Golf Club was the place to be today. We were once again blessed with stunning weather and the golf course was presented to the very highest standards by highly respected head green keeper Dave Jones.

‘Those are the best greens I’ve played on in Cheshire this year.’ Admitted well-travelled Moby Rawthore.

‘That golf course is so dry!- There is no mud on my shoes.’ Reported retired Cheshire senior Captain Gareth Bradley.

‘We love it here! Praised Peter Maher.

Thanks to all the green keepers, they were up at 5am preparing the course for us. Brilliant.

The Knutsford Golf Club is flying at the moment. Operations manager Fee and her team are the best in the business. It was also great to see our members coming down and mingling with my players, I am sure you were all made to feel incredibly welcome today.

The course is a great test and the small greens put a premium on accurate iron play. Withington nice guys Andy Taylor and Ted Lacey normally can’t hit a barn door with a banjo but they were superb out there and set the early pace with an excellent 43 points.

Gareth Bradley is nearly 60 and still plays off plus one. He is a class act and together with his three handicap partner Chris Mitchelson he was out in a terrific 25 points. A slightly less impressive 19 points on the closing nine was never going to win a card play off. They had to settle for runners up spot.

Sale’s legendary golfer and another Cheshire senior Moby Rawthore and Jag Bhakar had two solid nines to take the honours today. Moby knows the course well and was always going to be hard to beat. He is an even luckier golfer than me and has never lost a card play off in his life. Well played chaps, great golf.

Thanks to all for your 100% attendance once again today.

Yours in golf,

Tim

Maxitours at Classy Conwy sponsored by Jon Gallagher and Galvin Green

A stunning day greeted over 100 Maxitours golfers who travelled down the A55 today.
Spring was most definitely in the air and the Masters is just over a month away.
It’s my favourite time of the year.

There was a cool breeze for the early starters this morning but by the time the last group finished this evening there was barely a breath of wind and conditions were idyllic.

‘Loved it!’ Beamed Mark Pretty
‘So great to get some run out there!’ Reported Steve Aspinall.

Munro Donald was at it again. In Portugal he lost his mizuno 6 iron head cover among other things. He had a memorable double when he lost the very same headcover today. He also lost his mat.

Shane Lowry showed us last night why golf is the toughest game. We all thought he had nerves of steel when he secured the Ryder Cup last Autumn with a classy 12 foot putt. Last night he finally showed us he was human after blowing a three shot lead on the last three holes.

Scoring really improved with the weather late in the day and John Lee, Paul Woods, Keith White and Paul Barton who teed off at midday were delighted to take the lead with 85 points.
This was bettered with a very strong back nine of 46 points by Norrie Erwin, Roger Percival., Jim Clarke and Graham Jackson.

Paul Price has played nearly every event for the last five years and I think this may be his first ever victory. His Wychwood Park team had a superb 87 points and Paul was the main man picking up five shots on his own. Excellent.
Thank you for your 100% attendance today and support of the caterers. Superb.

Yours in golf, Tim

Dear Maxitours players,

Fleetwood have 2 holes closed due to the heavy rain. The forecast is mixed and it is a long way to travel so we think it is fairer to cancel Thursdays event.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Yours in golf

Maxitours at “Marvellous” Mottram Hall

A calm and mild day was a welcome relief for today’s Maxitours players after the bitterly cold winds of the last few days.
The course was in “great condition” and “surprisingly dry” were some of the comments which is a testament to all the hard work that Mottram’s green keeping staff do.
Andy Taylor’s Team were hoping for a repeat of their last visit a few weeks ago when Andy Parrington scored one of only two 2’s that day but this time it was Andy Taylor himself who produced the goods with two 2’s along with Andy Myers and Richard Blackwell.
The benign conditions made for good scoring opportunities with many excellent scores today.
Just edged out at the top on a card count back were the team of Steve Williams, Archie Higgins, James and Gavin Connor with a fantastic 89 points (43 back 9) to the eventual winners Steve Austin, Gary Smith, Richard Blackwell and Andy Hamlett (44 back 9).

Thanks to everyone who was able to make the last minute switch to Mottram Hall who are always great hosts and to my good friend and PGA Pro Matt Turnock who ran today’s event and produced tghe report. Top man..

Today’s results were:

2’s – £155 pot = 4 x Pro V1’s or 5 x Taylor Made TP5’s or 9 Srixon AD333’s
Andy Taylor x 2, David Arthur, Steve Best, Mick Mahon, Richard Blackwell x 2, Mark Tighe and Andy Myers x 2

NP 7th – Richard Palmer 1 x Doz AD333’s
NP 11th – Iain Cole 1 x Doz AD333’s
