Maxitours at amazing Sandiway
Sandiway was in amazing condition for todays’ Maxitours event. Many thanks to the extremely highly rated Head of Greens Brian Taylor and his staff for preparing the course so well. Brian is right at the top of his game.
The course was incredibly firm and dry despite the worst Winter for years.
‘My shoes are cleaner now than when I went out’ said one anonymous player ‘At our course you are lucky if you finish your round without actually losing one of your shoes at the moment!’
Bar Manager Fiona and her staff also looked after us extremely well throughout the day. Roy Ainsworth always says his bacon butty tastes nicer when attractive Fiona and her friendly staff serve him. Thanks to all my players for supporting the host caterers once again- brilliant.
Garry Smith celebrated his 27th wedding anniversary with a game of golf with his mates at Sandiway. ‘I told the Mrs I would be back early- I’ve just got time another quick pint and then I’ll be off.’ Announced the devoted Wigan man.
Paul Evans needs to go on self confidence building course. I asked him if his team played well – ‘No, I was on the card fourteen times so we can’t have had a good score.’ He admitted.
Frank Giles said he took his dog out for a walk late last night and was convinced that the event would be off today as there were so many puddles on his local lane. ‘He should have walked his dog today instead of playing golf’ observed his playing partner as Frank struggled on the tough Sandiway course.
Jim Lindsay hit his shot close to the flag at the par three last and it narrowly missed the hole. ‘Did it leave the flag? I asked ‘
‘Well it sort of curved in from the left.‘ He admitted.
That’s call a slice Jim.
In todays’ event Barrie Simpson(22) was putting like Ian Poulter as they took the early lead with 86 points. They had a Maxitours best of the season 49 points on their outward nine before reality set in on the back nine and they battled their way home in 37 points. Lymms’ Koos Alders(14), Martin Cox(24) and Jim Lindsay(21) completed the team which finished 3rd.
Five foot three and a half inch Steve Broom(14) is a top man. He claims to be Britain’s smallest ever Golf Club Captain when he was given the honour at Birchwood in 2013. He doesn’t let his height stop him from playing great golf although he had to use his bushnell range finder to pick up the flag on a couple of Sandiway’s more sloping greens. Jerry Salmon(18) Ron Sloane (19) and Paul Brooks (9) were his talented partners .
Bramalls charismatic Les Russon(12), Rob Kenyon(16), Steve Merricks(5) and current Bramall Club Captain Ian Handy(12) took first place with a solid 88 points. The likeable quartet had gone 25 events this Winter without winning so much as a pair of socks however they have just run into some form and were delighted to take first place today. Well played chaps.
Gary Parle picked up five points for his team after he made a 2 on the par four index1 hole. Well done Gary.
