Maxitours at stunning Stockport
Another beautiful Spring day greeted Maxitours competitors at Stockport today.
Callum in the pro shop is a top man and always a friendly face when you visit this lovely club and he kindly put out the markers for me. The clubhouse is mid renovation and should raise this clubs standing even further when it opens this Saturday. The improvements look very impressive.
Thanks to all at Stockport for your hospitality today.
There were a couple of 4 balls who had travelled down from the far North – Blackburn and Clitheroe. They came with woolly jumpers and waterproofs.
‘By eck even the blossums out down here! Cheshires a lot waymer than Lancashire.’ Observed overheating Ralph Postlethwaite.
Martin Mellor is a brilliant bloke and always optimistic.
‘I played rubbish today but on the bright side the time on my trolley was correct for the first time in 6th months now that the clocks have gone back so that’s a win.’
In todays event scoring was incredibly tight with 4 teams sharing 4th place on 85 points. It was great to see vivacious seventy year old Joyce Larkin back in the prizes.
Bramhalls Tony O’Gara, Steve Profitt, John Simpson and quick witted Andy Southam took third place with 86 points.
Winning the card play off were the Hale team of Chris Ravenscroft, John Webb, Martin Quinn and Bob Siddall. This is not a misprint. These guys are usually struggling to get 72 points but today they were on fire. Webby has just returned from playing Sawgrass and he contributed well. Even Chris Ravenscroft made a two on the 5th hole. Excellent.
Overall winners was Richard Blackwell, Steve Austin, Gary Smith and John Hilton with 89 points. A third win of the winter for this competitive quartet sees them move up the order of merit and also sees them receive a big handicap reduction for the summer ahead. Well played guys a great performance on a stunning golf course.
Thanks to everyone for your attendance. Glad you had such a great day out there today.
