Results from the Legh Arms Open Prestbury Golf Club 5th May 2011.

The Maxitours summer series began in some style at the fantastic Prestbury Golf Club today.

The course was in magnificent condition and all 92 players were extremely complimentary about the way the course was presented, many thanks to Club Secretary Neville Young and his excellent team.

There was a GMP speeding awareness day taking place at the golf club today and this led to a small police presence in the car park. Several Maxitours players seemed a little more nervous than usual, Peter Smith nearly missed his 3rd shot on the par 5 sixth hole as a copper looked on, Jay Seddons golf actually improved as he was literally ‘keeping his head down’ as much as possible.

Charles Herbert and Andy Stubbens always look immaculate and play well together, after a good shot Charles can often be seen gazing admiringly at Andys composed follow through, the couple are known as the Kate Middleton and Prince William of Cheshire golf, congratulations to both of you on your 45 points.

Manchester United ambassador Frank Stapleton was delighted after his teams progression to the Champions league final the talented Irishmans mood improved even more when he birdied the tricky 11th.

Ex rally driver Stuart Coupe was playing some nice golf with back to back birdies on 10 and 11. He needed a pit stop however after he lost his power steering on the sharp right hander 14th hole and his ball skidded out of control into the trees. All four wheels unfortunately fell off soon after.

Jay Seddon proved there is more to his game than 350 yard drives when he won the nearest the pin with a delicate wedge on the 175 yard par three. Tom Jones hit an unusually good shot on the 17th. (couldn’t resist Tom, sorry)

Kevin Barkers golf must have improved as three years ago he was hitting perhaps the most impressive shanks I have ever seen, today a more relaxed Barker teamed up with Peter Smith for a great 44 points, this was matched by quality builder Andy Taylor and scaffolder Martin Firth (they told their current job they were picking up supplies today)

The honours went to Ricardo Richardson and Darren Whittaker who returned 46 points, Whittakers birdie on the testing 5th hole was the highlight of their round. Happily for the rest of us both players will lose a shot from their handicaps for the rest of the summer tour.

The next event is at Pleasington,(perhaps the best inland course in Lancashire) this is filling fast as the course is a real gem, tee times are between 9am and 2pm please confirm your availability asap.

Many thanks to Pete Myers who owns the magnificent Legh Arms in Prestbury for his sponsorship of todays event. I hope you enjoyed today, thanks for playing. Tim.

Knutsford Golf Club Singles.

The sun was cracking the flags at The Knutsford Golf club this morning. Due to the large size of the field tee times had to be extended and the early starters had a real treat in the picture postcard conditions.

All was quiet as the early summer mist settled over Tatton lake, the deer grazed contentedly in the adjoining park, the woodpeckers tapped away merrily overhead and an elderly couple enjoyed a quiet walk among the ancient oak trees which border the course, however wildlife and ramblers alike all had to take cover after Chris Hegartys wayward drive on the 2nd hole careered into the park.

Colin Walton also struggled on the lovely holes which bordered Tatton Park , Colin appeared to be focusing too much on the passing female joggers rather than his impact position, however this didn’t seem to affect his mood as he had a large smile on his face as he polished the lenses of his steamed up Bifocals.

Ken Jones is in the middle of rebuilding his swing, he has now decided to rebuild his garden shed instead after playing 18 holes with talkative legend Neville Dennis.

Dick Perry played wonderfully to take the early lead with 40 points, this was matched by the likeable Steve Rourke and then Joe York who took the honours with a great back nine. Martin Williams, Andy Stubbens, Alan Ried, big spending Simon Hartland and big hearted Jimmy Eccles all played well on this beautiful parkland course described by Denis Durnian as ‘the best nine hole course in the North’.

Carl Kennedy wrapped up the Shotsaver Order of Merit with a solid 34 points, well done Carl you played some superb golf this winter. A high quality field comprising 10 of the most competitive amateurs in Cheshire took their well earned place in the famous Maxitours shootout this evening, newly crowned Order of Merit winner Carl Kennedy was pumped up with adrenaline, many Maxitour regulars looked unusually nervous as all ten teed off the first, the shootout has just finished and Gary Hibbert was delighted with his exciting victory- more details in a later email- I’m off to bed!

Many thanks to all who players who supported this Winters Maxitour events, I hope you enjoyed your golf as much as I enjoyed running the events. Yours in golf, Tim.
