Results from the Bilyana Tour Championship at Lymm + Vale Royal start sheet

Posted on August 30, 2011 by tpmaxwell

The Maxitours Bilyana Tour Championship and Shootout!

The first ever Maxitours shootout was a huge success ‘what a great day!’ was the general consensus from nearly 90 Maxitour competitors at leafy Lymm in the Maxitours Tour Championship.

The course was in lovely condition despite recent heavy downpours. Many thanks to Secretary Andy Scully and all his staff for making us feel so welcome.

My ex PE teacher Pete Holmes and Mark Breirley have enjoyed playing bad golf over the past four years on Maxitours and had never recorded a top three finish, today however, the golfing Gods smiled down on them and they recorded their first victory together. The duo win a superb Shotsaver s430 GPS system each for their efforts, ‘what do we do with these?’ asked the sporty rather than academic Holmes.

Darren Whittaker and Ian King were also delighted with their 2nd place and 47 points.

The talented Macclesfield duo of Em Williams and Steve Chapman also played great golf, shot of the day was Ems superb tee shot on the tough 13th hole which set up a birdie and won him nearest the pin. Jacob Ashcroft and Tom Giblin also scored 46 points for their highest ever Maxitours finish.

The scoring was excellent all day in the calm conditions and an amazing 43 points were required to qualify for the superb 30 man Bilyana shootout!

Rachel the lovely lady from Bilyana golf was expecting to see some real class in the playoff- she was disappointed! She had to wait for quite a while before anyone hit the green and then soon joined the 70 or so spectators running for cover as Happy Gilmore lookalike Charles Herbert sent one into orbit.

Ken Jones was the first to play an excellent shot as his ball rolled up to 15 feet. He started to dream about a back massage from Kit Parkington in the plush 5 star Cornelia Diamond Golf Hotel when Gary Garner flushed a tremendous seven iron to 18 inches which was never going to be bettered. He was delighted to share the holiday prize with his playing partner Mark Green. Garner was overcome with emotion ‘I never win anything’ said the likeable Bolton greenkeeper.

Many thanks to Bilyana Golf for their kind sponsorship – they are a superb company who provide the best tee times and service of any company in Turkey- don’t go any where else! Thanks also to Steven and Jason from Shotsaver for their brilliant continued support this summer.

Singles Day 2

Many thanks to the Carden Park management on behalf of all the 72 who enjoyed this superb trip. The food and accommodation was first class and the beautiful golf courses were enjoyed by all.

There was a great atmosphere all weekend, I hope you enjoyed the event as much as I did.

The day 2 singles was won by 4 handicap Steve Berrell from Swinton Park who had a tournament career best 2 under par to record a magnificent 42 points.

Mark Marshall and Ryan Foley also played superbly as they both scored 41 points, Marshall made a great eagle on the magical 17th hole which saw him finish 2nd.

Mark Robinson continued his rich vein of form as did Jimmy O’Reilly and John Reilly who were delighted with two high finishes over both days.

Nobody backed Steve Berrell to win so happily all £112 stake money goes to the East Africa appeal.

Betterball Pairs day 1

There was a real holiday feel as everyone looked forward to a weekend away from their wives at Carden Park today, Bridget Elmore was looking forward to a weekend away from her husband. The sun was shining and Neville Dennis tried to buy a 99 ice cream from the half way house

It was nice to see everyone in their best golfing attire, Brian Hopkins was wearing the latest Galvin Green range and Andy Stubbens was wearing the new Bertie Bassett summer range.

Preston based Mark Robinson and the sauve Stuart Coupe set the early pace with 41 pts but Bramalls Tom Marsden and Chris Wilde overtook them with a fantastic 43 pts

Swinton Parks Mark Turner and Mike Wiszniewski turned in a phenomenal 25 points and played well on the back nine for a 45 point total.

However Cath and Ella Rawthore took the field apart with their incredible 27 points on the front nine and 46 in total.

Late in the day Andy Stubbens and Darren Whittaker scored 42 points for 4th place.

Once again many thanks for your support, Tim.

Results from Maxitours at Knutsford

The Knutsford golf course was immaculate for todays Maxitour event, the greens were described as pure class by more than one player, many thanks to Head Greenkeeper Paul and his assistant Mark for rising at 5am to prepare the course so well.

Ken Jones is really enjoying his Maxitour summer of golf as he combines hitting the ball into the woods with mushroom spotting, ‘there were some tremendous field mushrooms out there today’ said Jones. ‘I am coming back to Tatton park with the North West fungal society next Sunday to look at more mushrooms, if you think ramblers are an odd bunch you should see this lot.’

Birthday boy Trevor Upton was thinking of throwing his clubs in the Tatton Park lake and joining the fungal society instead however he played great golf on the back nine and went home happy.

Kit Parkington missed from 2 inches on the short 12th hole, when asked if he missed it on the left or right he replied ‘no I left it short, I didn’t realise it was an uphill putt.’

Dave Antrobus from Vale Royal was absolutely hopeless yesterday in a pro-am at Pike Fold, the first time he got on the team scorecard was when it dropped out of my back pocket on the 11th and he accidently trod on it. Today was a different story and portly Antrobus was magnificent as he made birdies on the tough 10th and 11th holes ably supported by the likeable Dave Stanhope from Mere. They recorded a magnificent 45 points.

Darren Whittaker and Ian King also scored 45 points however they were pipped by the two Dave’s on the back nine. Moby Rawthore and his better looking brother Manni had another good finish as they finished 3rd. Many thanks to all players for your continued support.
