Bramhall Golf Club Monday 22nd Aug – room for one team

Maxitours at special Stockport

The final day of the midsummer heatwave saw Maxitours visit possibly the best course in Cheshire.

There were great reports from my players throughout the day. This is such a fair golf course and a real pleasure to play. The membership and staff are incredibly friendly and make us feel very welcome indeed. Thanks to everyone at this great Club.

The course is improving year on year and the catering was once again of the very highest standard.

The forecast was for possible thunderstorms so everyone was delighted to get around without being struck by lightning.

Chris Lee really doesn’t like thunder and he was very concerned when he heard an ominous rumble in the distance as he prepared to tee off on the 10th . He was delighted to realize it was team mate Richard Wakefield digesting his half time sausage roll.

Russ Sollitt has struggled a little with his putting in recent months. He makes Marcus Rashford look like he is oozing with confidence. Today Sollitt rolled back the years and had a great day on the greens to help his team into 8th place.

Three teams scored 88 points. The intelligent Doctors team of James and Alison Shipstone, John Hunt and Denis O’Neill were delighted with 88 points despite dropping a shot at the last. The far less intelligent John Newton team from Dunham Forest with Jon Walker, Trevor Roberts and David Linton had a tremendous back nine to sneak the card play off. They were delighted to take second place.

Late in the day Nigel Uttley from Heyrose also scored 88 points but had to settle for fourth place on the card play off.

The Hazel Grove team of Andrew Hill(1), Dave Stewardson(10), Steve Mobley(11) and Callaway rep Tom Gradwell(2) took the honours with 90 points. Gradwell is also a member at Stockport and he used his local knowledge well. Andrew Hill is a class act and has played for Cheshire at every level. He is knocking at the door to get back in the senior team. Great golf guys.

Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance once again. What a great day.

Maxitours at Classy Crewe

Posted on by

Maxitours at Classy Crewe

Crewe is a terrific Cheshire course with oodles of character and charm. The back nine is a classic with three or four great risk and reward holes to test your strategic skills. I love it here.

The bacon Sandwiches were great and the recently renovated clubhouse looks first class. Thanks to Nathan and his team for all their help today.

It was the second hottest day of the year but nothing stops Stuart Hibbert from playing. Stuart is now famous in the North West as having the highest Maxitours handicap and he is formally recognized as the worst ever player in Maxitours history. He teed off early this morning but team mate Paul Evans feared that the heat was already too much. ‘Stuart wants to enter the two’s- I think he might be delirious’.

Dave Buckley thought he had made a two when he hit his driver to six inches on the par four 12th . Unfortunately he was aiming at the 16th green and walked off with a par.

Alex Jerman is a lovely bloke and a crow expert. He loves them. So much so that he joined Wilmslow Golf Club which has a crow with a golf ball in its mouth as its emblem. Today he saw a crow on the 13th which he thought looked in distress. Bird lover Alex was desperately thirsty himself but in an act of great heroism he carefully poured the last drops of his bottled water into a sprinkler head for the crow. The bird totally ignored him and flew off to a nearby lake.

Pete Newey is a great bloke from Birmingham. I can’t understand anything he is talking about. Today it took me three minutes to work out he was saying ‘Mid table mediocrity’ When he handed his card in.

In today’s event scoring was once again close and the legend of Maxitours players integrity continues to grow.

Dukinfields’ Neale Laurent took third place with 85 points. The Bramall team led by Rob Kenyon was leading for much of the afternoon with 86 points before the Sandiway quartet of Gary Neiles, Richard Melrose, Henry Melrose and Paul Hurst took the lead late in the day. Seven handicap Henry Melrose caught fire and played his closing eight holes three under par. Excellent.

Thanks to everyone for your support, Tim

Maxitours at stunning Knutsford

Posted on by

Amazing upcoming Maxitours events!

Crewe next Tuesday– room for 1 team – I am looking forward to visiting the Classis Cheshire course
Stockport Monday 15th Aug– room for 1 team – ‘The best course in Cheshire?’ Its brilliant.

Maxitours at stunning Knutsford

Glorious sunshine, freshly cut fairways, hand mowed and ironed greens and a quality field were the order of the day at Knutsford. What a club.

Dave Jones and his class green keeping team have got the course in tremendous shape and there was continual praise throughout the day from all my players- thanks guys. The course is famous for its drainage and after terrific work by Dave over the past few years it probably won’t shut at all this winter.

‘Those are the best fairways I have played on all year, in fact they are better than the carpet in my front room.’ Admitted Brian Ankers. Roy Ainsworth has been to Brians house and he fully agreed.

Clubhouse manager Steve Barker is known as ‘Mr hospitality’ and the kind hearted man and his team were terrific throughout the day.

Dave Snape has a good swing but sometimes gets into trouble if he gets a bit quick. He also loves his food. When his bacon butty arrived this morning the transition of the sandwich from plate to mouth was a bit snatchy. He was completely out of sync and took a bite out of his finger. Slow it all down Dave.

Plane spotter Nigel Ashton loves Knutsford as he doesn’t have to play well to enjoy his day – ‘the wind is absolutely perfect’ he declared on arrival.
‘Why? Is it helping your slice on the first?’ I enquired.
‘No it means the planes are taking off on runway 2.’

Eighty year old Brian Ankers had a two. No this is not a misprint Brian Ankers actually had a two. After 8 years of trying.
Ankers actually had two incredible holes. On the 4th hole the short sighted Lymm man went for the wrong green with his approach and was so annoyed with himself he chipped in from 40 yards for a par. He then followed this with his famous two on the 5th. Keep it up Brian.

Denton’s Barry Jackson loves playing at Knutsford as he arrives in a taxi, plays golf and then has a night out trying to talk to posh ladies in Knutsford with his 4 ball. They normally enjoy themselves with absolutely no ‘success’ on or off the course. It could be a big night for the lads tonight as Barry holed his second shot on the 18th for an eagle to take 3rd place and the team headed off for their night out in a more confident mood than usual.

Wilmslows wealthy businessman Jim Caldwell and his team had a great back nine to take 2nd place. They were having an average round before securing 8 point hauls on the 15th and 17th holes to catapult into the prizes. Andrew Aherne, Dave Thomas and Steve Perret completed the team.

Winning today were the Hale quartet of Glynn Isaacs, Martin Quinn, Phil Long and Dave ‘putter thrower’ Madely. Hale teams have played in many Maxitours events without much success but the likeable quartet changed all that today. Even Glynn Isaacs played well. Excellent guys- great golfing!

Thanks to everyone for your support and integrity.

I know you had a great day.

Tim.

Room for 1 team at the best nine hole course in the North next Thursday!

Maxitours at marvelous Mottram Hall

A stunning day with a great golf course to match was the reward for the Maxitours players who travelled to the famous Cheshire resort of Mottram Hall today.

The course is set to hold the European Tour school in October and has already played host to the European Senior and European ladies tours. The back nine is one of the toughest in the country and certainly one of the best in North West.
Thanks to Golf Manager Jason Davies for accommodating us at this terrific venue at the very last minute.

Dave Madely is a great bloke and he used to sponsor me when I worked at Mottram Hall in the 90’s and he was a member. I will always be grateful to him. Not only did he sponsor me but I used to make a few quid repairing his putter every couple of months after it was regularly hurled from a green towards the general direction of the next tee after a three putt. I now send repairs to Lymm Golf Club who service lots of clubs in the area. I bumped into Fizz the assistant pro there last year and he told me that he was repairing two putters for a bloke that knew me.
‘Is it a big bloke called Dave Madely?’ I asked.
‘Yes that’s the fella!! How did on earth did you know that?’

Retired Keith Shale finished 3rd in the world Jive championships recently. I saw him tee off the 1st today but watching his lack of hip movement it is hard to believe that his nickname on the dance floor is snake hips. Keith waltzed into 25th place today. On the first hole with his lack of rotation he hit a few loose shots and did well to score ‘SEVEN!’

High Quality actor Martin Oldfield teed off at 12.30pm today and did me some great impersonations for me as he checked in. Martin gets paid to act and also earns plenty with his voice overs. He is on a nice little number doing the voice of the character ‘Drufus’ in a worldwide internet game called ‘Warfare’. He is fascinating to talk to. He needs to do a bit of work on his impersonation of a golfer however and his team finished in 27th place.

Third place went to Nigel Ashton, Mike Lowe, Ian Fearns and Paul Ralph. They had a solid 82 points on the testing Mottram course.

Jim Clarke has just about recovered from the sight of his money going up in smoke after the spectacular firework diplsy at his son’s wedding last Saturday. He was back to his best and helped his team of Pete Booth, Pete Ledger and John Stanworth into 2nd place with 83 points.

Regulars Simon Helmsley, Ian King , Joe Kirwan and Marcus Green are four lovely guys from Bramall. Despite playing each week and previously being competitive they have really struggled this year. I got a bit of repetitive strain injury scrolling down my order of merit before finding them languishing in 111th position. All came good today with the first win of the year even though 84 points was a surprisingly low score.

Well played chaps I am delighted for you!
Thanks to all my players for your integrity each week, whilst other open events are being won by crazy scores your class and sportsmanship are second to none.
Yours in golf and friendship.
