Maxitours at Helsby
Helsby was in excellent condition for todays Maxitours event. This traditional Cheshire course is always a pleasure to play and enjoyed by all. The Club is incredibly friendly, Rob behind the bar and Julie the hard working Caterer have done a really great job here for many years.
The Helsby event is always on the same date as first day of the Open and its great to watch at the same time as running my event
‘How the heck can McIlroy shoot 7 over par? It’s a joke!’ declared Steve Wade.
‘How did you play today Steve?’ I was hopeless. He replied.
The Hale team had the best final two holes of any team in the field picking up 11 Points on two of the toughest holes that Cheshire has to offer. At the last Chris Brown won nearest the pin and coolly rolled in his birdie. Unfortunately, they finished in last pace as their previous 16 holes were utterly diabolical.
Anthony Bloor is a great bloke and the 22 handicapper was delighted as he enjoyed his pint in the clubhouse ‘I made a great par at the last’ He told me sipping his beer contentedly.
A bit later he said ‘Wow those two guys have driven the green on the 18th !’ They have got easy birdies. I didn’t want to spoil his pint but I had to let him know that the last is a par three. He was devastated and looked a bit like Gazza when he realised he was going to miss the world cup final and tried his hardest to hold back the tears.
Scoring was incredibly tight with the best scores coming in the morning. Of the first 13 cards of the day 5 teams scored 82 points! And this was the winning score – Nathan Mills Saddleworth team with Stu Muller, James Mooney and Tom Williams were the 6th team to score 82 late in the day. This ended up in 3rd after the card play off.
Neale Laurents Duckenfield team took 2nd place with 41 on the back nine but it was the popular Antrobus steward Dave Buckley (16) playing with Paul Jones(4) Dave Carter (6) and Pete Johnson(13) who were delighted to win with 42 points on their closing nine holes. Well payed guys!
Thanks to everyone for your unrivalled integrity each week.
Yours in golf, Tim
