Maxitours at incredibly dry Dunham Forest
Yesterday’s torrential downpour left many local courses closed. Free draining Dunham Forest was well and truly open for business and the green keepers were up early hand cutting the excellent greens and preparing the bunkers. Many thanks for all their efforts. Top Head green keeper Chris leaves later this month to run a family business and he has done a remarkable job over the past eight years. Thanks to him Dunham is now rated as most definitely one of the premier courses in the North West.
Thanks also to Mike and Leslie Saxon who run a tight ship and produce some quality food. Pro Paul Dennis is also a pleasure to deal with.
Last week at Ringway John Royle was in the greenside bunker on the 16th.After a less than graceful swing he double hit the ball which then hit the top lip of the bunker and rebounded to hit him on his head. The four shot penalty took some adding up for the extremely likeable accountant. Today John and partner (the also very likeable) Dave Parsons were once again left counting the cost of a bad finish as they picked up just 4 points on the three tough closing holes to miss out on the prizes.
In today’s event the scoring was once again incredibly close.
Local estate agent John Hilditch (11) says he is sitting down with his wife tonight and having a selection meeting after he found a great new best friend in Clive Evans(9). The talented single figure handicapper stood in for regular partner Iain Bartholomew and was he just three over par today. ‘It’s nice to be back in the prizes’ added the wealthy Hale man after he finished in a season best 7th place.
Most of us have sat on one of Keith Tunstalls toilets in our lives. The ‘twyfords sanitory caster’ from Stoke on Trent has made plenty of toilet basins over the years. Today it was his hopes and dreams that were’ flushed’ away as his 43 points saw him closely ‘brush’ the major prizes. Jovial publican Terry Rathbone was his partner who had the smile ‘wiped’ off his face after poor finish followed their great start.
Andy Sandham(6) and Jack Meredith(9) live in the shadow of their more successful pals Jim Cox and Dave Blood. As the Spring heat wave hit South Manchester the Denton men had their very own day in the sun. ‘We were just relieved not to lose a fiver to those two’ said Sandham. Their 44 points was good enough for 3rd place.
Stuart Pearson(5) and Frank Stapleton(12) both played really well and were disappointed to narrowly miss out on first place as they also scored 44 points and lost out on a card play-off. ‘That would have been my biggest sporting achievement since I won the FA Cup with United’ said an upset Stapleton.
Taking the honours today for the first time were two top seniors from Lymm. Retired Architect Graham Littler(19) and Brian ‘had more jobs than hot dinners’ Hitchen(13) were both surprised and delighted to take top spot. Graham held his nerve with two excellent pars on the tough closing holes to overtake their closest competitors in some style. Well played chaps, I am really delighted for you.
Thanks for your 100% attendance. It is really appreciated. Yours in golf, Tim

Maxitours at amazingly good Ringway
Ringway was in tremendous condition for today’s Maxitours event. The greens were firm and true and they played like a top winter seaside links course. Many thanks to Richard and his Greens staff for their exceptional work. They must now be rated as perhaps the best greens in Manchester.
The catering and bar staff were also first class and Fiona the glamorous and alluring Secretary was also great to deal with.
‘It’s very unusual for me but I just can’t criticise my partner Roy Ainsworth this week’ said Brian Ankers in the bar after his round. ‘Why did he play well for a change? I enquired. ‘Oh no, he was so bad I am absolutely speechless’ replied straight faced Brian.
As Manchester United close in on another premiership title after an easy win last night it was always going to be harder to pick a winner in today’s Maxitours event.
There were a few twists and turns in the title race last night and Simon Hemsley’s(8) swing also has more than its fair share of twists and turns. He is enjoying the extra yardage gained with his new M1 driver and this helped his team into 4th place with 87 points playing alongside Al Demmy(9), Darren Whittaker(13) and Mike Spencer(12).
Nearby Coronation street had a sad loss when writer Tony Warren passed away yesterday. Ken Barlow look-alike Steve Latchford(7) and Mike Baldwin look-alike Phil Vokes(3) from Didsbury took third place with 87 points. Paul Sherlock(5) and Barney Ross(4) made up the rest of the talented Didsbury team. Apparently Barney has a look of Eddie Yates who was in the show many years ago but I honestly can’t remember him. I am told he was a scruffy bin man who likes chip butties so I can certainly see the connection.
Second place was taken by the Lymm team of Martin France(4), Peter Atherton(11), Ed Wilkinson(5) and Roger Percival(5) . Ed was the player who did most of the damage and the smooth swinging nice guy enjoyed birdies on the 10th and 13th holes.
Winning today were the two premiership referees Mike Dean(6) and Niel Swarbrick(18) who had had a busy few days refereeing the midweek Bournemouth v Southampton and Stoke v Newcastle games. Today they surprised themselves when they made all the right decisions to secure their first ever Maxitours win. Pete Tomlinson(3) and Mike Masser (13) completed the Aldersley Green quartet. Well played chaps.

Maxitours at Prestbury
Prestbury Golf Club was in absolutely tremendous condition for today’s Maxitours event.
Mark Crossley the new head green keeper was recently head hunted from Chesterfield and his excellent reputation is growing even more as the Golf course just gets better and better. Mark’s freshly mown fairways and hand cut greens were a real treat for today’s players. Many thanks also to all his staff- terrific.
‘Sensational’ was how the course was described by Ian King.
Maggie the incredibly attractive Prestbury bar maid has never had a mention in my reports and she has served our players well over the past 9 years. I always thought she was in her late 40’s but someone told me her age and I nearly fell over, so thanks for all your efforts Maggie.
James Marner gets married in the morning. He is a member of Prestbury and treated his best man and Ushers to a game. They will be desperately hoping that the speeches go better than the golf as they all struggled to 32 points.
In today’s event John Gregg looked down after another average round ‘He’d give up golf if I didn’t have so many sweaters’ said Bob his sympathetic playing partner .
The results are shorter than usual as I am off to watch the reds defeat mighty Midjeland tonight.
Phil Vokes and Barney Ross two low handicappers from Didsbury are really nice blokes and they were 6 under gros on the front nine as they secured a first win of the winter with 45 points. The rest of the scoring was very close with Joe Kirwan surprising everyone with his recent form playing alongside Mike Spencer.
John Bancroft won the bowls at Waterloo one year but this achievement was nearly eclipsed with victory today. He had to settle for 3rd place.
Many thanks to all for your support and for Prestbury for their terrific hospitality. Once again a 100% attendance was amazing. Tim
