Maxitours at Majestic Mere
The final event in the sun blessed Maxitours Summer Tour saw over 150 golfers really enjoy The Mere Golf Spa and resort.
As well as a major tournament here was also a major Conference on in the impressive new hotel. The car park was so full parking even spilled out onto the golf course close to the first fairway. Unfortunately for Sam Leach this was the closest he got to the short grass all day as his team struggled into a lowly 30th place.
Maxitours regular Phil Dermott (6)is a linesman in the football league Championship and today he played alongside three highly paid premier league referees Mike Dean(7), Martin Atkinson(18) and Neil Swarbrick(19). He knew he was in for a long day when he accidentally teed up in front of the yellow markers on the first hole and Atkinson strutted over and drew a line with his magic foam to prevent him from overstepping the mark. The whole team made plenty of bad decisions as they finished in the middle of the field.
‘I absolutely murdered it out there!’ claimed Mark Knowle when he handed his card in ‘I’m not talking about the golf course, I killed a squirrel with my tee shot on the 16th’.
Lancastrian Danny Ritchie’s team was out near the end of the field and conditions were gloomy towards the last few holes of their round. Fortunately the Wigan Golf Club team still looked happy and they got out their miners helmets to finished strongly.
In todays event scoring was incredibly tight and the first SIX teams ALL scored 84 points!!!!
Simon Hemsley(7) from Bramall had a career best five birdies in his round today and his team were cruising to a first Maxitours victory for many years. The likeable Cheshire man then saw his world collapse after John Owen(9), Warren Newton(11) and Will Hudson(20) and himself all incredibly failed to score on the 17th hole. His teams hopes plummetted faster than the Tesco share price and they had to settle for 6th spot.
Chris Buckley(5), Mark Davin(3), Gordon Hamlett (10)and Gary Bailey(22) were inconsolable when they discovered they were one point short of success. ‘It’s all Gary’s fault’ was the general consensus in the clubhouse post mortom.
Phil Vokes(3) helped his Didsbury team reach 84 points and 4th place after a superb hole in one on the 14th hole. Incredibly Joe Gates Mere’s complex manager informed me that this was the 3rd competitive hole in one at Mere this week. Last Monday’s corporate day saw a new car and an all expenses Spanish holiday won on the same day. Wealthy Phil was overjoyed with his new rain hat.
Highly rated Dunham Forest steward Mike Saxon(3) brought along a handpicked team of his most talented members (Gareth Aspinall, Dave Thompson and Nicholas Abbott). They all played superbly and were delighted to finish in 3rd spot.
Retired Wirral solicitor Jim Rymer(20) played alongside respected Hoylake property magnates Rob Farnham(11) and Paul Lea(17) and the likeable John Dickenson(23). The team of very posh scousers have found some good form in recent weeks (after many years of very bad golf) and they were delighted with second place today.
Taking the honours today were Richard Blackwell(13), Tony Jennison(5) Peter Freeman(15) and Chris Marshall(12). My registration desk overlooks the 18th hole and there was much hilarity and rejoicing when Chris spectacularly holed his approach for an eagle and Tony then converted his birdie putt as the team picked up 8 points to take an incredible first place. Great golf chaps-congratulations!!
Many thanks to everyone for supporting the event so well, I really hope you had a great day on the Links.
Thanks also to John Gallagher from Galvin Green for his terrific sponsorship. Download the new Galvin Green App to look at the great new range!

Results from the Gary Butler sponsored ETIQUS Masters at Dunham Forest
Dunham Forest was once again presented to an incredibly high standard for today’s Maxitours event. Thanks to Mike and Leslie Saxon in the Clubhouse and Paul Dennis in the pro shop who were as tremendous as ever to deal with.
Nigel Oakes and Andrew Thompson had a great day. They were partnered with Karl and David Henshall Jones whom they had never met before. ‘Can we play with those two again?’ they requested after their round. ‘They are two really nice guys and great blokes to play with, and we are also much better than them.’
Eddie Ellis always looks smart on the golf course with his vast array of the latest Galvin Green outfits. His mates say he is ‘cleverly disguised as a good golfer’. Today he actually played like a tour pro for a short period when he started with two fours to be under par after two holes on the Dunham Course.
Barney Ross took an interest in the lovely ETIQUS watches on display after his erratic round today ‘have you got one with a compass?’ quipped his straighter hitting playing partner Kevin Hamilton.
Brian Hopkins completed the first ever Maxitours Nearest the Pin double when he played two terrific shots into the 8th and 18th greens. With over one hundred players the odds of winning both prizes at the start of play are around 10,000-1. Brian was so delighted with his achievement he decided to miss both of his three foot putts.
In today’s event Keith Spencer and Colin Mattison had a career best 4th place finish after scoring 44 points. Keith had an outer body experience when he birdied two of his first six holes.
Richard Palmer and John Farnsworth continued to surprise many people with their recent good form and they finished in third place also with 44 points. Phil Vokes and Paul Dalby from Didsbury notched up five birdies between them and this was good enough to give them second place in a card play-off after a strong finish.
Poulton Parks Phil Lockett and Pete Hall took the honours today with a magnificent 46 points. They scored 25 points in a sensational front nine Hall’s birdie on the 16th helped to ease their nerves on the back nine.
Thanks to Karen Gallagher for helping me to run the event this morning whilst I was busy spending my prize money after taking nine shots on the last hole at Davenport in the Cheshire Open.
Many thanks to today’s main sponsor Gary Butler with his ETIQUS range of distinctive timepieces for golfers. They’re already starting to appear on the wrists of dedicated golfers across the UK including a growing number of PGA Professionals. The initial range which includes 17 men’s watches will completed later this month with the addition of the first 7 watches for Ladies.
