*Maxitours Algarvian Classic 2 – nearly full – room for just two teams – one team also requires two players if you can’t find 4! Let me know if you want some warm sunshine to break up this Winter
*Room for 2 teams at Stockport on Monday -great forecast.
Maxitours at Reddish Vale
Reddish Vale is probably the best draining course in Manchester and when other local courses were closed todays surprisingly firm fairways and smooth greens were enjoyed by everyone.
‘What a cracker!’ Put me down for the Reddish event this Winter – that course is so dry.’ Declared an amazed Phil Dickens.
‘That was incredible, pass on my thanks to the green keeper- the course was superb.’ Praised likeable Scot Brian Fisher.
‘Alaster Mackenzie was on form when he designed this place -its great!’ Declared Stan Daniels.
Well done to everyone at Reddish.
The German bar manager is called ‘Barbell’ and her hospitality is second to one. She was brilliant today Thanks Barbell.
Paul Price is a great bloke. He missed a tiddler a couple of weeks ago to cost his team a bag towel – he bought four off me today in a desperate attempt to stifle the abuse he has had ever since.
We had possibly the first professor ever to compete in Maxitours today. We were graced to have the presence of an incredibly intelligent chap called Martin Humphries. Before some of you fall off your chair in disbelief there were two Martin Humphries playing today. The ever-present lovable regular playing Martin Humphries isn’t a professor. Or if he is, he is doing a very good job disguising it.
Scoring was once again very close at the top of the leaderboard. Bramall Parks Jon Hudson, Rob Blain, Geoff Alsop and Mark Batley posted an 83 early in the day to take the lead over another early starting team – Neale Laurent and his Dukinfield men. This was eventually good enough for 2nd place with big heated Hudsons classy par at the last proving to be very valuable.
Well liked Antrobus steward Dave Buckley and Jim Caldwell’s team were close behind on 82
Late in the day Pete Norbury (17) Andy Wilde (16) Dave Sarsfield(14) and Dave Rhodes(13) had a strong finish to take first prize. They collected six points, then seven, then six on holes 14 to 16 to move into contention. Well played chaps.
Thanks to everyone for your tremendous support.
