Important Vale Royal News and the latest Abacus Order of Merit

Spaces in the Superb Maxitours Spring Classic.
Tuesday 29th March at Sandiway and Wednesday 30th March at Vale Royal.

Teams of 4 may play on one or both days. Prizes for each day and overall. Great venues to start your season! Spaces still free.
(Please note- Advertised date changed from Mon 28th + Tues 29th March as Bank Holiday Monday)

Tomorrows event at Vale Royal is most definitely on! 11am Shotgun.

Dear Maxitours player,

The Vale Royal course drains very well and the forecast is excellent. There are some wet patches on four holes so John the respected Head Green keeper has asked all players to carry if at all possible. If you feel you are too old to carry, injured or have a medical note then trolleys are permitted in these circumstances.

(special rule for players ‘over 60’ to encourage carrying- use 8 clubs or less and receive 9/10 handicap instead of 3/4)
Thanks for your support and respect for this terrific winter venue.
Yours in Golf, Tim

Wednesdays event at Vale Royal ‘looking good’- still spaces!

* Spaces this Wednesday 20th Jan at Vale Royal 11am shotgun
* Spaces at Fairhaven next Tuesday 26th Jan- carry only 11am shotgun

Dear Maxitours players,
The Vale Royal General Manager is confident that we should be ok for play on Wednesday.
There are still a few spaces for pairs if you would like to play this terrific draining golf course.

I have just been informed by the secretary that the event at Fairhaven next Tuesday is ‘Carry only’. Please let me know ASAP if you are unable to play. (Special rule: any players over 60 who wish to carry 8 clubs or less will be entitled to 9/10ths handicap rather than 3/4)

Many thanks Tim

Vale Royal Cancelled- limited times at Mottram Hall

Dear Maxitours player,

Unfortunately tomorrows event at Vale Royal has been cancelled as the course has taken so much rain.
There will be no event tomorrow but there are are limited times (7 in total) at Mottram Hall and I have negotiated a rate on £60 per 4 ball if you would like a friendly game with your pals.

Please deal with Mottram Hall directly.

Yours in Golf,
Tim
