The Clarion Wealth Planning Winter/Spring Schedule
Dear Maxitours players,
Thank you for your terrific support this Summer once again your terrific reliability and integrity each week is immensely appreciated.
Attached is the Maxitours Winter/Spring Schedule 2025/26. I am delighted to offer you twenty three events on nineteen terrific golf courses with the free draining Carden Park and a two day Yorkshire Classic added to the schedule.
I hope you will enjoy playing in these events just as much as I enjoy running them.
Your respect for the host course, support of the host caterer and the traditions of the game means we are welcomed back to the best golf courses that the North West has to offer year after year.
The 9th Algarvian Masters team events at Quinta do Lago North, South and Laranjal take place in January (still spaces) and February (full). Life is too short not to play golf in the sun this Winter! I am also taking 24 golfers on the trip of a lifetime to the Masters and Hilton Head. There is still room for 8 lucky players.
Finally, huge thanks to Keith Thompson and his quality team from Clarion Wealth Management for his continued support.
Yours in Golf,
Tim

Results from fantastic Vale Royal
Spaces at Llangollen next week – a beautiful and brilliant Autumn course!!
Maxitours at fantastic Vale Royal.
Vale Royal is now a premier course in Cheshire and a firm favourite with my players. It oozes class from the moment you drive into the property.
I first played here in 1998 and there were saplings everywhere. It has now matured into a classic Cheshire Parkland course and is fantastic to play. The clubhouse is as good as it gets.
Thanks to Ian Embury and everyone at this venue for looking after us so well today. The food and hospitality was excellent.
Maxitours regular Richard Williamson loves his golf and he plays 3 times a week.
‘I bet you can’t wait to watch the Ryder Cup?’ I asked him.
‘ Not really, I cant get too excited about it to be honest.’
There must be something wrong with him. I can’t sleep I am so excited. Come on Luke and the lads.
Paul Evans has entered the Algarvian Classic to break up the Winter blues. He has been on the past four trips and loves it but normally finishes last. This year he has hand-picked a team and confidently decided to give them a run out today. When he handed the card in they were in last place with 70 points.
‘Is it too late to pull out?.’
Ted Lacey is the Alexander Isak of golf. He played for two different teams in this weeks event. His terrible lack of loyalty meant he left Graham Jenkinson’s team with whom he finished 22nd and thought he upgraded to Andy Taylors team – unfortunately they finished 32nd today.
Pete Anstis and his Ringway team look quite intelligent but the on-course nearest the pin marker is a tube and the paper where you write your name is in the tube. They were all completely baffled by this latest technology.
In todays event The Yorkshire team of Rob Platt, Tom Broadhead, Tim Barstow and Darren Wilson came over from Barnsley and chopped their way to an impressive 87 points to take first place.
Martin Hammans Sale team were 2nd and Colin Roberts took 3rd.
In the overall two-day event 13 teams played both days and coming out on top in a hard fought contest was Colin Roberts, Steve Jones, Ian Snape and Dr Andy Williamson. They followed up their 84 points on Tuesday with another 84 today to win on their ‘last 18 hole’ card play off. Congratulations!
Gary Neiles, John Longworth, John Colquitt and Martin Molyneaux have been runners up three times this year and were gutted to narrowly miss out again.
Well played everybody.
Paul Fell recorded a two on the par four 14th hole and will talk you through it if you ask him.
Thanks for your unrivalled support,
Tim

Maxitours at Classy Crewe
Room for 1 team at Llangollen next Friday – A MUST PLAY COURSE
Terrific Winter schedule released on Monday!
Maxitours at classy Crewe
A stunning day greeted Maxitours players at Crewe.
The Clubhouse is a cracker and Sandra and her smiling team were open bright and early for us. Thanks very much.
The course gets better each year. I love it here and think it is one of the great parkland courses in Cheshire. Today’s players all agreed.
The greens were hand cut for us and the whole course was excellent considering this summers’ testing weather conditions. Plenty of recent overseeding on the fairways ensured they were like carpets. The bunkers were all washed out after Sundays drenching but three days hard work from the greens staff meant they were excellent today.
Twenty four handicap Tony Evans struggles with his driving most weeks. Things got even worse today. He was struggling with his driving even before he arrived at the club. The sun was in his eyes down the narrow lane to the secluded course.
‘I nearly crashed my car twice.’ Reported the wayward Alsager man.
Steve Jones was a late stand in for Colin Roberts team. The Crewe member played great and helped his team into 4th Place. Rather like Patrick Cantlay he thinks he should get paid to represent the team.
In todays event Moby Rawthores Sale team took 3rd place with 86 points.
Gary Neiles Sandiway team lie in 2nd with 87 points.
It was the Heyrose quartet Tom Faulkner, Paul Robinson, Peter Taylor and Phil McCurry who had the best score of the day with an excellent 88 points.
‘This is the biggest event in golf this week, we are incredibly proud to win. Maxitours events make the Ryder cup look like a monthly medal.’ Declared knowledgeable Faulkner.
Day two of the two day event takes place tomorrow at Vale Royal.
Should be another great day. Thanks for your 100% attendance,
Tim
