Maxitours at brilliant Bramhall

Maxitours at Brilliant Bramhall

I had heard great reports about the condition of Bramhall Golf Club this Summer and it certainly lived up to the billing today. The greens are the best I have ever seen them – pure, carpet like and SLICK! The feedback about the quality of the golf course throughout the day was outstanding.
Everyone loves playing at Bramhall, the membership is full and there is a lovely buzz in the beautiful clubhouse. The catering and hospitality were absolutely first class.

Lots of Bramhall members have played Maxitours over the years and when I started out 19 years ago a couple of loyal fourballs really helped my business to get up and running so I will always have a soft spot for this friendly club and its members. Thank you.

Never go to the fairground with Steve Webb. The ‘Hook a duck’ lady will take all your money. The 4th hole is a short par 4 over water in front of the clubhouse and Steve spent five minutes unsuccessfully trying to scoop his ball out of the water. He looked to be enjoying himself though which is the main thing.

Mrs Maxwell ran my event at Vale Royal recently and a few members reported seeing the tame fox which can follow you around on occasion. To amuse myself I told Garry Owens team to tell Suzy that there was also a wild kangaroo on the course. This week Gary was playing again and team mate Alan Gale told Suzy there was a llama on the 17th hole. She didn’t fall for it this time unfortunately but many thanks for trying Alan.

I thought Mrs Maxwell was getting her own back when I saw the results. She put Chris Ravenscrofts’ Hale team down as tied 2nd. After double checking I was amazed that this was in fact a correct score. There is normally more chance of seeing a kangaroo on the course than Chris Ravenscroft, Martin Oldfield Steve Bates and Bob Siddle finishing in the top three but this actually happened at Bramhall today. Superb golf by four lovely blokes.

Sale’s Graham Jenkinson, Alan Drysdale, John Hassett and Gareth Moore also surprised many people including themselves with their 85 to take 2nd on the card play off. Excellent golf by 4 real gentlemen.

The likeable Prestbury team of Pete Atherton, Club Captain Martin Prescott, Nick Hargreaves and Mark Pretty took first place after a career best 88 points. Atherton put his teams’ success down to a couple of substitutions
‘We offloaded regular players Chris Adams and also team sandwich maker Nigel Oakes and immediately things improved’.
The team had a solid round but finished strongly with 7,6 and 6 points to take a well-earned victory. Brilliant.

Thanks to everyone for your incredible support what a great day!

Maxitours at super Stockport.

Maxitours players were treated to breakfast in very glamourous surroundings as the new clubhouse refurbishment was unveiled to my players today. Reports were 100% positive. The interior looks fantastic. If Mrs Maxwell was running the event this week she might be painting our walls Stockport golf club blue. It did look good to be fair. Well done to everyone at Stockport.

Daisy and Hannah also need a mention for looking after us so well. Rob the head greenkeeper did plenty of maintenance work on the course last week and then did a tremendous job to get it in shape for us today. Brilliant.

Scouser Gavin Connor calmly handed his scorecard in after his round. He then checked his phone, made a funny noise and started jumping up and down waving his arms around wildly. I was going to ask for help when I managed to hear him mention something about Jack Grealish signing for his beloved Everton. Let’s hope they never win anything or he could end up in hospital.

Jonny Barton was looking slightly orange when he handed his card in. He was covered in a light dusting of sand. He had been in ten bunkers.

‘ I needed my bucket and spade today.’ Reported the likeable Lymm legend.

‘ By the end of the day I was looking for a dead crab to put on top of my castle.’

Richard Blackwell was playing with three guys even older than he was. The total age of the team was over 300 years.

‘We have all been playing golf for over 200 years and we still don’t know what to do!’ They joked before their round. They actually called upon all of their experience and finished with 88 points today to take 2nd place.

Winning on a card play off was the Knutsford team of Norrie Erwin, Dave Walters, Jim Clarke and Heyrose’s Graham Jackson. A few of you may know 18 handicapper Dave Walters as the incredibly popular friendly guy who worked at the Beeches driving range giving out free tips on the golf swing despite not having a clue what he is talking about. A bit like myself really.

Today, he was on fire and had a career best score of 82 to lead his team home. Graham Jackson, Jim Clarke and Norrie Erwin all came in nicely as the team won their first event for over two years on a card play-off. Congratulations chaps.

Thanks to everyone for your support and attendance today.

Yours in golf, Tim

My wife Suzy kindly stepped in for me this morning whilst I was playing. She really enjoyed meeting everyone. I took over at 2pm . If I had a penny for everyone who said I am fighting above my weight I would have exactly 7 pence more than I won in my event this morning.

The Romiley golf course was enjoyed by everyone- it is a really underrated golf course and is once again becoming firmly recognised as a top ten course in Cheshire.

‘Those fairways were like carpets!’ Reported well-travelled and highly respected Russ Sollitt. ‘And the greens were superb also.’ He added.

Thanks to all the staff who looked after us today – you were excellent. Clubhouse manager/company secretary Rachel is brilliant to deal with and the Club has a really friendly warm atmosphere.

I used to coach the Head Pro Graham Drabble when he was a junior. He used to love his golf and if I told him to jump into a river to improve his swing he would’ve done it. It is great to see his reputation growing as he becomes top club pro and excellent coach.

Tony Hope is a lovely fella from the St Helens area. There is lots of chemical factories around there and a few studies suggest this has an impact of this on the local population. Tony went to the bar after his round and asked his team mate what flavour crisps he would like:

‘Do you want onion and cheese or vinegar and salt? ‘

Say no more.

In todays event Tom Faulkner had shot of the day when he holed his approach shot and eagled the tough 4th hole.

Scoring was close throughout the day and it was James Smith, Barry Caldwell, John Lee and Ray Tennant who were leaders in the clubhouse on 82 points. They haven’t featured in the prizes for months. Even Ray Tennant was smiling.

Winning today also after a very barren Summer was the Prestbury team of Geoff Bickerton, Mark Richardson, Steve Best and Steve Booth. They were on fire and won by an impressive 4 shots. Richardson is a cool customer and appeared on Dragons Den a few years ago. The dragons made him an offer but he turned them down. Bickerton had begged him to play in his team and this was an offer too good to refuse. Well played chaps.

Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance today. Incredible.

Room for 1 team at Romiley next Tuesday.

Maxitours at Lymm

Lymm golf course just keeps getting better and better. Reports from all players were excellent as the pure Lymm greens were the talk of the clubhouse. Congratulations to new head green keeper Rob Cooper who is doing a fine job. Chair of green Andrew Cox is incredibly pround.

It is also great to catch up with head pro Steve McCarthy and his assistant Fizz. They are the heartbeat of this club and are loved by all.

The upper part of the course is raised as it was built on the soil taken out of the Manchester ship canal and this part always plays firm and fast. The contrast between the lusher lower holes is excellent and makes for a very interesting test of golf.

Never lend Paul Ashley your golf shoes. Pete Keena had a two week-old pair he had just worn in and he kindly lent them to his playing partner. Paul disappeared after attempting an optimistic wedge shot from the ditch at the last. When he reappeared, he looked like a drowned rat. Pete’s shoes were black.

Chris Hoesli from Huddersfield played today. He loved coming back to the Club where he was the first ever junior captain in 1975. His name sits proudly on the honours board. As a nice touch today he wore the same schoolboy shorts he wore 50 years ago.

In todays event scoring was close. Wychwoods Paul Price, Pete Keena, Nigel Edwards and soggy Paul Ashley were 4th on 86 pts pipped by Clitheroe Seniors Simon Raine, Roland Horridge, Philip Cort and Denis Greenup.

Gary Neiles is still waiting for a win. His team of Martyn Molyneaux, Gavin Connor and John Longworth were leading form much of the day with 87 points before late in the day Hazel Grove’s Dave Stewardson(8), Dave Cain(8), Steve Todd(11) and Mark Redfern(5) beat them on a card play off with 45 points on their closing nine holes. Excellent.

Thanks to Matt for running my day so efficiently before I took over late in the day.

Yours in golf
