Maxitours at superb Shrigley Hall
A great day was enjoyed by all at lovely Shrigley Hall. The beautiful course nestles proudly in the Pennine foothills and the views are superb. The clouds parted at 10am and it was lovely to play under blue skies and sunshine all afternoon.
The greens were superb and as most other local courses were closed Shrigley Hall was well and truly open. Thanks to Golf Manager Andy for his hospitality, not only does he book golf societies and make us feel welcome but he can also rustle up a mean bacon sandwich if the kitchen is short. Top man.
Another top man is Gary Lasham. His golf game is rapidly improving (he won nearest the pin today) but his memory is declining.
‘Where’s big Gerry our 4th man – I thought he’d be here by now? It’s not like him to be late.’ He asked his playing partners when he checked in.
‘He’s waiting for you to pick him up in Knutsford.’ Informed intelligent team mate Paul Meehan.
‘You put a message on the group chat last night.’
Nigel Milroy knows how to treat his golfing wife at Christmas. What are you buying your Mrs this year? I overheard his playing partner ask.
‘I’m treating her to a Winter mat this year.’
The millionaire businessman added: ‘It’s a good one.’
Ex RAF man Paul Fell and his lovely wife Debs played today. He has been a Maxitours ever-present for the past ten years but is moving to Spain in January if his house sale goes through. This could be the last we see of him for a while. All the best Paul.
‘Moving abroad is the only way I can get out of playing with Nigel Ashton each week.’ He admitted.
The last hole at Shrigley is a classic par three over water with stunning views over the Cheshire plain.
You have to carry a beautiful lake, a family of ducks and a large bunker guarding the front of the green. Showing his full array of shots Bob Scott decided to lay up short of the trouble and hit his 3 wood five yards to leave a full shot. Good thinking Bob.
In todays event the Bramall Team of John Simpson, Andy Bradshaw, Matt Ford and Steve Profitt took 3rd with 83 points. They was pipped by Garry Owen, Alan Gayle, Alistair Holloway and Sam Beverley with 84.
Winning today with a terrific 86 points was Jim Caldwell, Andrew Aherne, John Roome and Nigel Milroy.
Thanks to everyone for your incredible support once again this year. All the Clubs we deal with tell me you are the best group they come across and I am proud to have you as my players. Have a great Christmas and a terrific golfing year in 2026.
Best wishes,
Tim, Suzy, Ella and James.
