Maxitours at Pleasington

It had rained for forty days and forty nights in Blackburn but the Pleasington course was in great condition for todays Maxitours event.

The course was a delight for the many birdwatchers and trainspotters amongst the Maxitours players. Brian Hopkins kept a lookout for the resident peregrine falcons as he searched for Alan Pengellys ball deep in the shrubs on the 7th hole.

Trainspotter Steve Gill jotted down a couple of engine numbers as playing partner Chris Meikleham nearly hit the 8.45 commuter train to Bury with a vicious hook as he played the 5th hole. A few holes later a big slice sent Chris’ ball over the railway fence once again, this time his ball narrowly missing the 10.45 to Blackpool .

The scoring was excellent all day, Ray Massey playing with Paul Woodcock hit a majestic nine iron to three feet to set up a birdie on the 18th hole and Gary Garner playing with his big hitting son David hit his 7 iron even closer as both players helped their pairings to record 44 points.

‘Carpet Bob Kwan’ (who is not as daft as he looks) whilst selling unsuspecting punter Andrew Westwell a quality carpet last year, discovered he was a scratch player at Pleasington. A little light came on in Bobs head- ‘this is the man for me!’ thought Bob.

Kwan sold Andy a top of the range carpet but more importantly he persuaded him to play with him in todays event. The two combined superbly and Kwans birdies on the 5th and 16th holes backed up the classy Westwells sparkling golf as both players recorded their first maxitours win with a wonderful 45 points. Well played chaps.

On form Rob Weston and Trevor Webb from Knutsford were on fire for twelve holes however an average finish saw the likeable grey haired double act just scrape into the top ten.

All todays players were entered into the two’s sweep and this caused Neville Dennis and Alan Clough to get over-excited as they waited to hear what the reward would be as they both recorded perhaps the first twos of their career. Alan sat near the recording table for most of the afternoon and looked devastated each time a two was registered, ‘Bloody hell -how many balls am I going to get now?’ he sniffed.

Big Neville Dennis left several answer phone messages as my phone kept ringing on the drive home. ‘as everyone finished?’ ‘ow many twos was thee?’ ‘ow many balls will ah git?’ ‘where the hell are ya!’ pestered local legend Neville.

Ross Birch, Moby Rawthore, John Davies, Paul Bradley, Andy Lawman and Dave Bowers all played well to be in the prizes.

Many thanks to all who supported todays event.

Nearest the Pin on the 10th was won by Dave Bowers and nearest the pin on the 16th was won by Barry Eddlestone both receive 1 dozen AD333s.

Results from Reddish Vale

Alistair Mackenzie would have been proud of his Reddish Vale masterpiece today.

The greens were immaculate, the fairways looked like Wembley turf, the tees and surrounds were manicured to perfection, even the squirrels gathering their Autumn acorns all looked really healthy and happy to be alive.

Jonny Davies couldn’t take his eyes off the well manicured long legged blond behind the bar ‘this is a really great club’ said the young Chorlton star as a housefly flew into his mouth.

The early competitors made the most of the great scoring conditions, Alsagers ageing duo of John Rigby and Ian Tinling playing in the first match of the day gelled really well and they set the pace with a great score of 42 points.

It was great to see Maxitours favourite Neville Dennis back in the prizes also scoring 42 points with his new best friend Ernie Kirkby.

Next to finish was Jimmy ‘five daughters’ O’Reilly, he was really on form today partnering John Reilly to record 43 points. John O’Reilly hit a great shot to within 2 feet on the 185 yard twelfth for a birdie, however last man to play John Aikenhead nearly holed his approach as he took the nearest the pin prize in dramatic style. Rick Pickard was closest on the 4th hole.

Bramalls Mike Spencer and Cheshire seniors player Joe Kirwan playing in match number three handed their card in and were delighted to be the third pair to take the lead (with 44 points). It soon became clear that this would really take some beating as the wind started to gust and before long an American hurricane swept over the Reddish Links.

The wind was so strong even immaculate Victoria Howarth had a few hairs out of place as she was gracefully blown off the 18th green.

By the end of the day nobody had come close to Kirwan and Spencers score and they were both delighted to secure the second Maxitours victory of their very average playing careers.

Charles Herbert and Moby Rawthore both earned valuable order of merit points in the wind as the Shotsaver Order of Merit nears its conclusion.

For the first time in Maxitours history today a male player turned up to play in bright pink trousers, Ross Birch assures me he is however very happily married. Mechanic John Davies playing in a four ball with Ross for the first time looked confused and wasn’t sure whether to shake brightly dressed Ross by the hand or give him a big kiss when they finished on the 18th green.

The Maxitour Classic AM AM at Hazel Grove

The Autumn heatwave hit Stockport today and nearly 100 Maxitours competitors enjoyed the sunshine as they played the challenging Hazel Grove golf course.

Life long Stoke City fans John Grint and Brian Mottram were delighted to score 85 points and also see their team shock Manchester United at the weekend, ‘Stoke should have won 4-2 easy and we could have had a really, really great score today’. Yes and if my auntie had…

Alf Shillitoe had to find a late stand in after his long term partner Lewis Marland had his car stolen last night. Alf then played his best golf all year ‘I thought for a long time Lewis puts me off when I play with him and now I know he does’.

Reports came in this week about a frustrated Didsbury member who hooked three tee shots in the Mersey on their second hole, he then proceeded to launch his driver over the fence into the river, such was the fury in the throw the club actually reached the far bank. The member then asked a kind passing cyclist if he could throw it back, this time the club didn’t quite reach and splashed into the river before drifting off to sea.

Back in todays event the Bramall team set the early pace with a great 86 points, handicap Secretary Mike Spencer tried hard not to look surprised as his 20 foot putt on the last dropped into the hole to pick up a vital three points.

The high quality team of Rich Pickard, Jonny Davies, Guds Ahmed and Scott Arnold contained three players off plus handicaps, they also scored 86 points after a great display to secure second place.

The honours eventually went to Martin Worthington and Keith Massey from Ormskirk who teamed up with 2 local boys, Hazel Grove Club Champion Frazer Macleod and Luke Elwers. The team picked up 11 shots on the back nine as plus one handicapper Macleod showed his true class.

Many thanks to all players for supporting todays event.
