Dear Maxitours player,
Heavy rain this morning has led to saturated ground conditions at Ringway and Richard their head greenkeeper has kindly just rang me to let me know the course is unplayable.
Sorry for any inconvenience PLEASE LET YOUR TEAM KNOW
Next week at Dunham is now 12pm shotgun

Dear Maxitours player
It’s a long way to go with the weather forecast I’ve just seen so Fairhaven have kindly allowed me to reschedule this event for Tuesday March 12th.
Can you please let your team know that tomorrow is cancelled.
Please let me know if you wish to play on that date’
I had no cancellations despite the poor forecast – I really appreciate your integrity in these winter months- amazing.
Manager Lindzi Stones and everyone at Fairhaven have also been great to deal with – Thank you.
Sorry for the late notice I have just arrived home tonight from Portugal.
Yours in golf
Tim
Dear Maxitours player
Todays event has been cancelled due to snow!
There are still a few spaces next Tuesday at Fairhaven
Sorry for any inconvenience, Tim
| *Wednesday at Warrington still on – The manager believes full greens will be in operation as long as the course is not covered in snow- I will update my website at 8.30am on Weds morning *
Maxitours Quinta do Lago AM AM Tee shirts and shorts were the order of the day once again as 48 Maxitours players enjoyed the stunning Portuguese sunshine. After two terrific rounds on the best courses that the Algarve has to offer (Laranjal and Quinta South) Roger Percivals team had a four shot lead over Jim Clarkes team. On the tremendous Quinta North Course they were overhauled after a fine final round by Clarke(12), Graham Jackson(8), Pete Ledger(19) and James Joyce(6). I followed them on the back nine and a great team effort was really excellent to watch. Third place went to who the Chris Adams’ Prestbury team and Alan Baxters’ Mere team ended the tournament in an impressive 4th place. Thanks to everyone for making this trip so enjoyable to run. Terrific wine, food, company and golf throughout the week means eleven teams have already rebooked for next year. Yours in Golf, Tim
Day 1 Winners Not in the top 3 overall. |
Second Day at Quinta do Lago
There was barely a cloud in the sky for Maxitours competitors at the gem that is Quinta do Lago South course today.
Incredibly fast greens and the Meditteranean breeze mean scoring was tougher than yesterday.
‘What a course- that is class!’ Enthused Colin Roberts and his team.
Going into the final day the Lymm team of Roger Percival, Martin France, Pete Atherton and Andrew Wright have a four shot lead over Jim Clarkes team. Chris Adams Prestbury team lies in third place and Alan Baxters quartet are sitting pretty in 4th place.
I am going out for a meal with Roger Percivals team tonight. (Professionals Tip of the day – always go out to dinner with the daily sweep winners.)
Tomorrow should be very interesting.
Yours in Golf, Tim
