Maxitours Shotsaver Pairs at sunny Stockport
Heavy early morning rain threatened to postpone today’s Maxitours event . Changing to a one o’clock shotgun start allowed the sun to appear and gave the course plenty of time to dry out. A great day on the links was eventually enjoyed by all, many thanks to all players for your terrific cooperation.
Thanks also to the Stockport Golf Club staff and green keepers who were exceptionally helpful and great to deal with when I was fretting this morning. On completion of play it was a great touch to have the Stockport Captain chat to our golfers and welcome them to his lovely Club.
I went out on a course inspection in the afternoon and I was both shocked and impressed when I witnessed twenty-four handicapper John Farnworth confidently rifle a superb drive 230 yards down the centre of the narrow 13th hole . Playing partner Mick Mahon soon brought him back down to earth by loudly informing me ‘Don’t worry Tim, he’s got one of the worst short games you’ll ever see’.
It is a well known fact that Russell Humphries’ ball is attracted to water whenever he plays golf. Today he was the only person delighted to see a few puddles on the smooth Stockport fairways and this encouraged him to a Winter Tour best 6th place finish with 41 points playing alongside friendly Yorkshire man Bernard Fee.
Once again scoring at the top of the leader board was very close indeed and four pairs scored 42 points. Consistent nice guys Phil Vokes(3) and Paul Dalby(3) had the best back nine to finish 2nd. Matt Cheffins(13) had a career best 3rd place playing with Lee Bailey(6). Ashton on Mersey order of merit leader Steve McDermott(10) knows how to pick a partner and this time 2 handicapper Liam Rex helped him secure another top five finish. Iain Bartholomew (3)and famous estate agent John Hilditch(11) were 5th.
Taking the honours this week were Denton’s Jim Cox(2) and Steve Jenkinson(9). Cox has not won for a couple of years but the mechanic’s swing was running smoothly all day and he really pressed the accelerator pedal when he birdied the index 1 hole to collect four valuable points. Jenkinson chipped in with three important birdies. Great golf chaps, very well played.
Frank Byatt won nearest the pin at the 16th hole with a towering seven iron from 112 yards and Richard Palmer was closest in two shots on the 18th hole.
Thanks again for your tremendous support,
Yours in Golf, Tim

Maxitours at Classy Caldy
Caldy on the Wirral was the stunning venue for today’s Maxitours event. The hospitality throughout the day and presentation of the golf course was first class, many hanks to everyone at this great club.
With very mild air temperatures, plenty of snowdrops scattered around the course and John Stubbs looking for his ball in the young daffodils there was a real feeling that Spring was just around the corner.
Mark Williams had not been to Caldy before and he was impressed by the size of the houses as he drove to the course. ‘I kept thinking this must be the clubhouse every time I turned a corner and saw another mansion!’ said the Mottram man.
It was great to see Premiership referee Mike Dean make another Maxitours appearance today. Most golfers put their scorecard in their back pocket but Mike always uses his top pocket, apparently it is easier for him to pull out the card whenever he feels like it….
In today’s event I have never heard so many worried golfers asking ‘did we come last?’ after they finished their round . Anthony Grimley’s men took that particular honour today with a hard fought 63 points.
Fireman Phil Dermott has played some great golf in recent weeks however today he just missed out on the prizes. Apparently they have had a busy few days in the station after a light bulb went out and it took four of the firemen several hours to sort things out. It took so long because one of them changed the bulb but the other three had to cut the roof off.
Golf will be back in the Olympics after a 108 year absence it has almost been that long since Richard Williamson(11) won a prize. He was delighted to help his team of top guys Dave Goodwin(9), Pete Keena(11) and Paul Woodbine(7) into 4th place with 81 points.
Cheadle Golf Club star Mick Fenton(8) played with his son Tom(8), Tony Stiles(12) and likeable milkman Don Milligan(13). They played really well to finish in 3rd place. Milligan has a ‘crateful’ of shots and really ‘delivered the goods’ when he collected 4 points for the team on the long 5th hole. Unfortunately after a poor tee shot on the 6th he saw his ball ‘floating’ down the river Dee.
Tony Kenny(5), Kenneth Chinn(17), Peter Hampson(11) and Harry Lopez(9) were delighted to finish in a career best 2nd place. Hampson was thestar of the team and two closing pars into the Irish sea breeze secured a high finish.
Steve McDermotts (12)big hitting team enjoyed the longer holes and they all contributed well. Two handicapper Liam Rex(2) played the front nine under par and the charismatic McDermott once again did his fair share of damage. Mark Davin(3) and Simon Priest(6) also played some lovely golf. Despite dropping a shot on a jittery final hole the Ashton men took first prize by a single shot. Well played chaps!
Many thanks for playing today, despite the dodgy forecast all 100 players turned up and were rewarded with a rain free day (except for a small refreshing 20 minute shower!).
Thanks for your support, Yours in Golf, Tim.
