Maxitours at Hesketh
Historic Hesketh Golf Club was in tremendous condition for the latest Maxitours event. All players agreed the journey to Lancashire’s golf coast was well worth it as they were rewarded with warm sunshine and a stunning course. Thanks to all the staff for their hard work and friendliness throughout the day.
There were a few signs that Autumn is not too far away. Mark Taylor should have been concentrating on his putt but instead he reported that he had spotted a few falling leaves gently blowing across the 14th green. Neil Wright reported that there were Swallows gathering on the telephone wires near the 2nd hole. He was worried that they weren’t fattened up enough to be fully prepared for their upcoming arduous migration to Africa in search of warmer weather. Dave Antrobus is also heading South this winter on a golf holiday. He looks as if he has plenty of calories in his system and is more than ready to safely survive the trip.
It is great to see so many mature players trying to look young by wearing expensive designer golf outfits on the course. Sixty-nine year old John Dickenson narrowly pipped Ray Tennant to win the prize for oldest guy in the field wearing a white belt.
In today’s event Steve Foxcroft from Knutsford was delighted to be the main man as he appeared on his team card fourteen times. Unfortunately this is not as impressive as you might think as they finished in last place with just 67 points. His pal Trevor Webb is a great bloke but he looked shattered after a tough day on the links, ‘I’m off to find a very dark room to have a lie down .’
Absolutely perfect golfing conditions and yellow tees meant scoring conditions were perfect throughout the day. The good natured Ringway team of Andy Thompson(10), Nigel Oakes(5), Dave Aden(12) and Rick Walmsley(4) took fourth place with 85 points.
Consistent Christine Kelsall(22) from Pleasington was the only lady in the field and she nearly repeated last year’s victory as she helped her team to 86 points and 3rd place. Prestbury’s Lee Charnley(6) was on top form and only dropped two shots to par all day. Jonny Conway(13) and Roger Dent (14)completed the team.
Ray Ward(16) from Hindley Hall has had a few barren months but recently found his form at Sandiway two weeks ago, his good play continued as he teamed up with Jordan Garner(4), Phil Ashcroft(14) and Gary Garner(6) to take 2nd.
Taking first place was the Grange Park team led by 1 handicapper Leigh Smart, Ex tour Caddy Ray Tennant(4), Andy Jackson(4) and Mark Bullman(12). The popular foursome recorded a very impressive TEN birdies between them as they made the most of the Hesketh par fives. Great golf chaps! Well played.
Thanks to Cheadle based Holidays 4 golfers who I would have no hesitation in highly recommending for your golfing trips abroad. They kindly supported today’s event. The top 6 teams all receive vouchers for £100 off a foreign golfing holiday for 4 booked through them-0161 428 0963.
Thanks to all players for your attendance today- brilliant. Yours in Golf, Tim

Maxitours at remarkable Ringway
It was a gloomy day in Manchester however the condition of superb Ringway golf course lifted everyone’s spirits. The terrific layout is always a real pleasure to play and there were plenty of positive comments from Maxitours players as they finished their rounds.
Thanks to all the staff at this superb Club for your hospitality. Secretary Fiona Cornelius is great to work and with her new haircut she is now ranked in the top three most attractive Club secretaries in the North West.
Seventy year old Roy Ainsworth checked in with new partner Keith Edwards. ‘He’s a ringer!’ Roy announced. ‘Is he very handy off his handicap?’ I enquired ‘No, he can’t hit a barn door with a banjo. He’s ‘s just been ringing out his socks in the car park- he played in the rain last night.’
Frank Hindle could be getting the Joe Hart feeling in the next couple of weeks. He thinks his place in his fourball is totally secure. Team manager Mick Mahon has other ideas and after today’s performance he is desperately looking for a decent new partner. Frank could soon be out on a free transfer.
Bernard Hessian’s team finished in last place but they were unfazed by their poor performance and even asked for a tee time at Vale Royal in a few weeks time. I informed them that I only had 3pm available and that there is a good chance they will be playing in the dark. After a quick chat with his team Bernard came back to the table and asked ‘Have you got anything later ?We might give that playing in the dark a try- we might do better. ‘
The early starters had the best of the weather before a heavy hour-long downpour toughened up the course.
Colin Roberts is a top man and he was out first. It was great to see him back playing some excellent golf as he helped his Alsager team to an impressive 82points. That score was matched by the lovely Spencer family from Bramall and also premiership Referee Mike Dean’s team from Aldersley Green.
Jim Caldwell’s Wilmslow team finished in 4th with 83 points and were narrowly beaten into 3rd by Sale’s Simon Poucher(15), Brendan Leighton(16), Vic Nillson(13) and Jan Jagielka(14).
Iain Bartholomew’s(4) team could only manage three points on the easy first hole however with the very positive Richard Blackwell(13) in the team anything is possible. An excellent back nine saw them record 85 points and take 2nd place. John Hilditch(11) and Tony Jennison(5) completed the quartet.
Roy Ainsworth(26) from Lymm is having a hip operation in mid September and is trying to get in as much golf as possible before a six month lay-off. He signed off in style as his senior Lymm team gelled tremendously to secure a memorable win with 86 points. Brian Ankers(16), Mike Verdon(15) and Keith Edwards(19) were the other team members -well played chaps!
Thanks to everyone for your terrific support today, yours in golf, Tim
