Maxitours at Wonderful Worsley

Worsley is one of Manchesters most historic and beautiful golf courses. Today despite recent heavy downpours the weather was fine and the course was presented in excellent condition for the latest Maxitours event.

Scruffy maxitours regular Geoff Cogswell today looked as smart as I have ever seen him. Normally Geoff has the look of a rat peeping out of a hay stack. Today he turned up like a new man after his barber took three inches of hair off his head, two inches off his eyebrows and an inch off his nose and ears.

Full figured Simon Helmsley continues to closely monitor his diet and he was extremely careful not to put too much sugary tomato sauce on his 3rd sausage sandwich.

Dave Henshall has had more last place finishes than any other Maxitours player in history. Today he was delighted to finish second from bottom ‘that was a good performance from me today’ beamed Dave. ‘Especially considering I have got a bad foot, a bad back and I am mentally deranged.’

Al Noden enters the 2’s sweep each week and today he was overjoyed when he recorded the first two of his undistinguished Maxitours career. He is going to be very careful not to lose his pro V1s next week as they cost him £172.50 each.

Todays ‘trunk slammers’ were Mark Richardson and Charles Herbert, 1 handicapper Richardson played the front nine in an incredible SIX under par gross,however an average back nine saw them finish 6th on a card play off with 43 points.

Enigmatic Dave Parsons and charismatic John Stubbs are great friends and the two likeable characters rarely feature in the top ten. It has been suggested that they peak for just 1 week each year (and that’s the week they go on a fishing holiday.) Today they played terrific golf and were delighted to finish 5th on 43 points.

Also on 43 points was the feared pairing of Darren Whittaker and Ian King who are just finding some form before the winter series. Gary Conroy and Billy Ratcliffe were 3rd also on 43 points and Alan Jacobs and Darren Wood were 2nd after a terrific back nine.

Todays winners were John Beech and Jeff Barratt who travel regularly from Leek to play in my events. Despite their strange accents both these young looking seniors played some terrific golf scoring 45 points to record their first wins. You could tell they were both delighted with their performance because in the bar after play these Midlanders kept saying to each other ‘well played me duck’.

Many thanks to all players for your support today.

Dear Maxitours Player,

Here is the new Winter Schedule which I think you will agree is my best ever.

Once again I have tried to offer the best golf courses at tremendous prices to ensure high quality and value for money events for my players. Of course there will be no joining fee.

Many thanks for the tremendous Clubhouse and Course etiquette you showed this year which again has seen every venue welcome us back with open arms. There is always a nice friendly atmosphere at the events and I am regularly told by stewards and secretaries what a lovely group we are!

I hope you will enjoy your golf this coming winter and continue to compete in the true spirit of the game which we all know is so important.

There will surely be strong competition to get in the top 10 in the Shotsaver Order of Merit to qualify for the famous 9 hole end of season Shootout at Knutsford, so good luck with those putts.

Thanks for your tremendous support last year which was really appreciated,
Yours in Golf,

Tim

Maxitours at Magnificent Hazel Grove

Another full field of talented Maxitours golfers enjoyed the latest Maxitours event in todays warm Mediterranean conditions.

Hazel Grove is another Dr Alistair masterpiece, the course which lies in the foothills of the Pennines was presented in immaculate condition and the wonderfully undulating Mackenzie greens were really enjoyed by all the players.

‘That is a great golf course’ said the well travelled Steve Parle on his first visit to ‘The Grove’. ‘Another magnificent course you’ve brought me to Tim’ said the well dressed John Wreag. ‘What a terrific venue’ said the badly dressed Andy Sandham.

Many thanks to the eight members of my home club Knutsford who kindly supported todays event. After completion of play Knutsford legend Bob Sutton can normally be found anxiously studying the various beers on offer in the clubhouse, today Bob was anxiously studying the scorecards after teaming up with the underrated Denis Bamford, Kevin Pearce and David ‘profiterole’ Kelly. They recorded a magnificent 80 points to appear high on the leaderboard. Well played chaps.

Ex policeman John Stubbs celebrated his 65th birthday with par at 1st hole today. He then happily retired for the next 17 holes.

Maxitour regulars Lewis Marland and Alf Shillitoe are two lovely blokes who never win a bean. Today they had an unusual air of confidence as they brought along two handy looking single figure players. The team played great golf to just finish in the prizes with 81 points.

Ex Man United legends Stuart ‘Poncho’ Pearson and Jeff Wealands teamed up with Mike Sleater and Pete ‘Mad as a Mongoose’ McManus and they also scored 81 points for a fourth place finish.

Consistent Gary Garner and his team had a great back nine to take third place on a card play off, also with 81 points.

Charismatic three handicapper Darren Wood from Swinton Park saw his team playing average golf for the first 16 holes however Simon Kusick birdied the 17th and Alan Jacobs looked emotional as he rolled in a twelve footer for another four point haul as the strong finish saw them in second place on 82 points.

Todays runaway leaders were big Mark Robinson, ex Rally driver Stuart Coupe, Mike Johnson and the golf mad John Hughes. These four recorded their first Maxitours win for nearly three years with a superb 87 points. Ten handicap Mark Robinson did most of the damage with a tremendous front nine. ‘I was the best player in our team by a long way’ said the modest Pleasington man. Congratulations on a great performance.

Congratulations to Keith Coxon (dozen AD333s) for winning Nearest the Pin.
Congratulations also Terry Davison (dozen AD333s) for unusually stringing two good shots together to win ‘Nearest the Pin in 2’ on the 18th.

Maxitours Taylor Made AM AM at Bramall Park.

The amazing British Summer of Sport continued at the superb Bramall Park today. The course is an immaculate green oasis, surrounded by million pound houses and has plenty of million pound members. The Club has a new energetic and highly respected professional Craig Daggitt. Many people feel he has really nurtured a nice, friendly atmosphere at this magnificent traditional links and I was made to feel very welcome indeed.

John Aikenhead enjoyed the stunning Bramall scenery when he teed off late in the day just ahead of a mixed club match. John is always incredibly observant and alert on the golf course ‘That’s a terrific course and I’ll tell you what, these are the best looking female members I’ve seen at any club-ever.’

Neville Dennis regularly enjoys slating his playing partners and commenting on their bad golf. Today he was at it even before they had teed off. ‘Frank Massey’s on our team. He were bloody hopeless on the last few holes again last week, I don’t know why I play with ‘im, we’ve started calling ‘im ‘front nine Frank!’

Ray Twist from Wigan is thinking of taking a degree in stating the obvious. When handing his card in after play I asked him if he enjoyed the course. ‘Yes, it’s a lovely course and like my course its got trees on either side of the fairway.’ He replied before heading to the bar.

In todays Taylor Made Am Am event the team of attractive Sale ladies led by the eye catching Hils Tarleton finished in 3rd place with 85 points. Cheshire scratch player Cath Rawthore recorded 3 birdies in her first six holes to give the team a great start. Talented student daughter Kate and crazy Julie Matthews were the other team members.

Second place went to the consistent Hindley Hall team of Geoff Cogswell, Ray Ward, Ray Twist and Shotsaver Order of Merit leader Gary Garner with an excellent 87 points.

Malcolm Wells from Didsbury knows how to pick a team. The six handicapper was joined by Alex ‘6 birdies’ Pritchard and Matt Robinson who have a combined handicap of plus 1. The fourth member of the team was 84 year old Bramall legend Pat Williams (14) and he became the oldest ever Maxitours winner as the team scored a wonderful 89 points.

Many thanks to Stuart Hubbard from Taylor Made for his sponsorship of todays event. Thanks to all players, I hope you really enjoyed your day.
