The Latest Shotsaver S430 Order of Merit

Jimmy O’Reilly and John Reilly from Swinton Park both lead the latest Shotsaver order of Merit after a string of consistent results in recent weeks. They are closely followed by scratch Cheshire Lady Cath Rawthore and her 4 handicap husband Moby. Steve Dunphy and Chris Cyprus are also making a big impression as they enjoy their first season playing Maxitours.
The Top ten in the final Order of Merit after the singles event at Knutsford in April will play in the famous nine hole Shotsaver Shootout when all ten players tee off down the first hole and 1 player gets eliminated after each hole.

The Vale Royal Golf Club Am Am

Another terrific field gathered at the prestigious Vale Royal Abbey Golf Course for the latest Maxitours event.
A slight early morning frost disappeared and the 100 competitors enjoyed the superb greens and well manicured fairways. Many thanks to the greens staff for their hard work and immaculate presentation.
‘I just couldn’t believe how dry the fairways are’ said Kenny Jepson, the deadly accurate and very likeable Mancunian who regularly hits 14 of them each round.
Manchester City have started to wobble like an MFI wardrobe recently as the possibility of winning the Premiership becomes a reality, in contrast John and Jimmy O’Reilly are enjoying the pressure of leading The Shotsaver Order of Merit and they stayed rock solid to record 82 points and a commendable 3rd place finish.
Bill Ross nearly threw his golf clubs in the Mere three weeks ago as his golf hit rock bottom, however 6th place last week saw the Scotsman win his first ever Maxitours prize. Today the more confident Scot played a major part in his teams 83 points, which was good enough for a second place finish.
Chorltons dream team welcomed back Gaz Hibbert who has not played recently due to family commitments. ‘He was a waste of time today- hopeless’ said lifelong friend and team mate Mike Lynch. ‘We would have won if he’d stayed at home and we had a decent player’ he added. Despite the in-fighting the team finished fourth with a well earned 80 points.
Ex football legends Stuart Pearson and Frank Stapleton just missed out on the prizes as their team finished with a solid 79 points for 5th place.
Last night Moby Rawthore was struggling for a final member of his team and he was recommended an improving Sale junior under the name of Ollie ‘Dick Turpin’ Bowden, the young 17 year old ‘putted like a pro’ according to his low handicap teammates and he was on the card 15 times helping his team score a phenomenal 89 points. A very large Maxitours handicap reduction has taken place.
Nearest the pin was won by sixty year old Ian Ainsworth as hit the five wood of his life and his ball finished 2 inches from the cup on the par three 6th hole. The only area of his game the six foot gentle giant needs to work on is disguising the look of surprise on his face after such a good shot.
Many thanks to all players for supporting todays fantastic event.

Results from terrific Prestbury

A warm refreshing breeze greeted eighty eight of the most intelligent Maxitours golfers who gathered at the superb Prestbury Golf course today.

These guys new the weather was a gamble, however the threat of putting up the Christmas decorations, or even worse- Christmas shopping with the wife- meant a healthy field assembled in this exclusive corner of Cheshire .

For the first three hours the weather was thoroughly pleasant however an intense downpour at 2.30pm flooded the greens and the event was reduced to 12 holes. Paul Hodgson looked like a drowned rat as he came off the course but the Stoke-on-Trent man was still smiling after a great round saw him finish 4th alongside scratch player Bobby Aston.

Andy Stubbens was absolutely delighted to find a chocolate angel in his advent calendar this morning and his day just kept getting better as he made back to back birdies on 18th and 1st to earn third place playing alongside the nicest man from Bollington, Alan Pengally.

Dave Keen is an excellent Boeing 737 pilot for Thomas Cook Airlines but always finds it a struggle landing his jet in the wind. Today however he was on autopilot and his ball flew majestically through the breeze as he teamed up with co pilot Ian King to take second place with 29 points. This was Keen’s highest ever Maxitours finish. Despite losing his house, car and life savings as the Thomas Cook share prices plummeted recently Dave was still thrilled to win a Srixon carry bag.

Andy Adshead is the top Bank Manager at the Royal Bank of Scotland in Macclesfield and he turned up nice and early to prepare for his round. ‘Do you want to pay for your partner as well?’ I asked nicely as he checked in. ‘No, he can pay for himself- I’m really trying to cut down on my lending at the moment’ said a worried looking Adshead. His Partner and client was the likeable 2 handicapper Mark Richardson and he birdied 5 of his twelve holes as they scored a terrific 32 points and take first place. Well played Guys!

Many thanks to everyone who played today, despite the late rain everyone seemed to really enjoy the day.
