Dear Maxitours players,

Happy New Year!
I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas break and are now fully refreshed and ready to play some high quality golf in 2013.

The majority of Maxitours players now know each other and this really adds to the warm friendly atmosphere I hope you all enjoy each week.
As I can never say too often, thanks to all competitors for continuing to play in the true spirit of the game each week, we all know this is why golf is such a magical game.

All the best,
Tim.

Results from BRILLIANT Vale Royal and Knutsford start sheet

Posted on December 19, 2012 by tpmaxwell

Maxitours Vale Royal AM AM

There was heavy rain falling throughout the North West but incredibly conditions remained dry and pleasant for the last Maxitours event of 2012.
Most Northern courses are currently struggling with waterlogged greens and muddy fairways however the Vale Royal course was immaculate and it is now recognised as one of the best winter venues in the country.

Paul Woodcock(12) Steve Tyrell(14), Barry Eddlestone(18) and Ray Jones(21) are all good friends who work at ‘Kelloggs’. They always enter Maxitours when their shift pattern allows. They usually play like they haven’t had any weetabix but in the colder months when its frostie‘ they’re Grrrrrreat!’ Today they were delighted to finish in 3rd place with 81 points.

Second place went to the Shrigley Hall team of Andy Stubbens(6), Barry Horrox(10), Alan Pengelly(13) and honey monster Charles Herbert(16) after they scored an impressive 82 points.

Winning todays event was Bradley Wiggins lookalike Adam Hart(8) playing with Bob Vickers(8), Malc Wells(3) and Phil Sharp(20). Shotsaver Order of Merit leader Wells eagled the 13th hole (which was their second) and this set them up for a great day on the links.

Many thanks to my good friend Matt Turnock for his administrative help today. Matt is a lovely lad but not too bright. He was recently turned away from the local computer shop after trying to buy the ‘wireless’ bra his wife requested for Christmas.

Only two more days and the nights start to get lighter!

I wish you all a VERY Happy and Healthy Christmas and New Year. many thanks for your terrific support this year!
Yours in golf, Tim.

Shotsaver Classic at Prestbury +WEDNESDAYS TIMES at Vale Royal

Posted on December 13, 2012 by tpmaxwell

**please note next weeks event at Vale Royal is on WEDNESDAY**
Full greens were in use on this sand based gem for 363 days last year.

Maxitours Shotsaver Classic at Prestbury Golf Club

A stunning December morning greeted the full field of competitors at Prestbury Golf Club this morning.

My first job in golf was working as Assistant Professional at Prestbury and I will always have a special affinity to this lovely traditional Club. Each year Prestbury continues to improve the golf course and facilities and it is now firmly recognised as one of the premier members clubs in the country.

Despite frozen ground conditions all the competitors enjoyed playing a beautiful course on such a stunning day. ‘I’d rather be pushing my trolley round here than pushing one around Sainsburys with Margaret any day’ said a relieved David Kelly.

Travelling to Conwy last week, a wealthy but badly dressed Joe Kirwan was devastated when he stopped off for a bacon bap in McDonalds. Much to the amusement of his team he was mistaken for the local tramp by a member of staff. Today ‘Hobo Joe’ had a close shave and only narrowly missed out on the prizes.

A terrific imagination is required to play good golf in the frozen conditions. Stoke City fan Brian Mottram(16) has a wild one – he sometimes imagines the Potters playing in Europe next year. Today he played some terrific shots alongside Derek Fulluck(14) as they finished in fourth place and also won the seniors first prize.

Martin Firth(5) and Andy Bethell (15) are excellent ‘cash rich’ scaffolders from Macclesfield. They were unable to work today due to the cold conditions, instead they constructed a great score of 37 points at Prestbury to finish in 3rd place.

There are only twelve days left until Christmas and Santa came early for Didsburys John Bent and Phil Vokes who won a lovely Cleveland carry bag after a terrific 39 points earned them second place.

After a trophyless year last year it is good to see Manchester United back on their perch as the real footballing force in Manchester . John Reilly(9) is also a class act who has struggled this summer but he also showed his true colours as he picked up first prize today playing alongside Pete O’Neill(4).

Many thanks for all who played, I hope you enjoyed your day. Thanks also to Shotsavers Steven and Jason Ballard for their continued support. (Shotsaver have just brought out a new GPS watch which is fantastic.)
