Maxitours at Vale Royal
Vale Royal Abbey was the latest majestic setting for today’s Maxitours event. The course, staff and facilities were at the very high standard we expect from this five star venue. Congratulations to Manager Ian Embury and his team for a great job.
Steve Mattinson turned up to play with his wealthy Mere friends. He also produced one of the thickest wallets I have seen. Unfortunately for Steve on closer inspection his wallet is crammed full of receipts and he struggled to scrape together his entrance fee.
The early starters enjoyed the best of the weather conditions however the firm fast running greens and fairways made scoring tricky. Ian Lilley’s team narrowly missed out on a podium finish after an excellent back nine saw Hazel Grove housewife superstars Alan Clough(17), Geoff Haynes(6), Ray Stanier(21) and Trevor Harrison(9) finish fourth on 79 points.
Richard Blackwell(14) looks like a good golfer, dresses like a good golfer, swings the club like a good golfer and actually hits the ball like a good golfer. Despite this he is a deceptively bad player who rarely finishes in the prizes. Today his game came together as he joined up with the Bramall team of John Neale(18), John Lawson(19) and Andy Hamlett(10) to record 80 points and take 3rd place.
Another vastly underrated golfer is Alf Shillitoe (his mates think he is hopeless). Today the 18 handicapper inspired his team to a commendable 3rd place finish and he even managed to contribute with a couple of high quality pars. Gareth Winston(13), Neil Laurent(11) and Adam Thomas(16) completed the likeable quartet.
Today’s winners were ex Manchester United footballers Frank Stapleton(13) and Stuart Pearson (6) playing alongside Dave Wilson(6) and Kevin Hawkins(10). This team played with German like efficiency to record a solid 83 points and a first win on the Summer Tour this year, very well played chaps.
Many thanks to all players for your brilliant attendance and perseverance in the inclement weather conditions. I hope the rain didn’t spoil your enjoyment of this quality course.
Yours in Golf, Tim
