Maxitours at classy Stockport

Despite the ‘cool’ temperature and refreshing drizzle, nearly 90 competitors teed off in todays event at Stockport Golf Club and everyone was glad to play. Considering the recent weather conditions the course was really well presented. The dazzling Jayne Scowen and her Stockport staff were very friendly and terrific to deal with.
It takes more than freezing rain, snow and temporary greens to stop Maxitours players enjoying an away day on the links.
‘I’ve spent the last week stuck at home doing jobs for the missus’ grunted Neville Dennis ‘another day with the wife looking round B&Q could have sent me over the edge’ he added.
Stockport is high quality Open Championship Qualifying course and that event was last played here in 2002. A ‘very talented’ future Masters winner by the name of Charl Schwartzel won the event in 64 classy strokes, he was delighted to narrowly beat the slim, thick haired, Tim Maxwell by 9 shots.
Mike Spencer returned to Maxitours golf after a recent expensive family holiday, with his nice tan and relaxed aura it was commented that he looked healthier than Harry Redknapps Swiss bank account.
Seamus Keegan and John Dolan were delighted to record their highest ever Maxitours finish with a 44 point haul. This was matched by Sale Golf Clubs Chris Leonard and Jeff Sherburn. Another senior Sale Golf Club player, John Stubbs, teamed up with Harrison Ford lookalike David Smith from Ringway and their better back nine gave them second place.
Taking the honours was Kevin Barker and Dave McCallum from Mottram Hall, these are two great guys who have had numerous lessons from me over the past twenty years without much success. Barker practises his flat swing under a coffee table in his front room, McCallum has worked hard to lengthen his backswing and is now delighted to regularly get the club past his right knee. Today the two pals teamed up to record the biggest wins of their golf careers with a great 44 points. Well played chaps!

Many thanks to all players for supporting todays event, I can assure you it will soon be Spring and I believe temperatures are soaring upwards next week. Thanks again for your support of today’s event in the inclement conditions, it is really appreciated.

Maxitours at Stockport Golf Club.

Thursday 9th February 2012.

After speaking to the very helpful Jayne Scowan in the office at Stockport Golf Club today I am pleased to announce the Maxitours Event will definitely go ahead on Thursday. A decision on whether play will be on temporary greens or full greens will be made at 11am tomorrow (Wednesday) and the decision will be posted on my website.

Thanks for your support and patience on this matter.

Maxitours at Superb Vale Royal Abbey

A beautiful winter morning greeted the competitors as they arrived at this additional Maxitours event at Vale Royal Abbey. There were clear blue skies and a crisp frost which soon disappeared to reveal fantastic greens as the sun heated up both the golf course and players alike.

The cloudless sky encouraged Colin Lynch (know as Magnum to his friends) to travel in his new latest Ferrari ‘ California ’. Nobody is quite sure what Colin does for a living and suspicions were further aroused when you took a close look at his four ball, this included a top gynocolgist, an MD of a drug powder coating business and the ex Deputy Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police.

Ian King’s Bramall team set the early pace returning a very solid 81 points to earn some valuable Order of Merit points. Also recording this score was Peter Coughlin and his North Manchester team who enjoyed their first trip South into deepest, darkest Cheshire .

This score was incredibly matched again by millionaire Terry Davison and his ‘last of the summer wine’ team from Hazel Grove. Alan Clough, Ian Ainsworth and Geoff Haynes all contributed well and they took the overall lead with an excellent back nine. It looked for a long time as though thrifty Davison and his men would get the record for the tattiest ball ever to win a Maxitours event as he enjoyed playing with a Pinnacle 384 which was last produced in 1986.

Late in the day Davison was forced into second place by Cath Rawthore and her feared team from Sale Golf Club who thought their 84 point tally could scrape into the top five and were both surprised and delighted to win. Cath Rawthore who was playing off plus 1 due to a previous win now will be playing off plus two in future events- come on chaps, pull yourselves together!

Many thanks for everyone who played today, several competitors asked me to pass on their thanks to the Vale Royal manager for their excellent freindly team and also the greenkeepers who presented the course wonderfully.
