Maxitours at excellent Wychwood.

Glorious sunshine which lasted all day greeted the Maxitours players at lovely Wychwood Park Golf Course today.

Huge thanks to my brother Simon for running todays event so well.

He was amused at registration after talking to Paul Evans that his teams aim of the day was not to finish last – he was delighted to finish third from bottom.

Tytherington’s Nick Coleman reported that he had chipped in out of the bunker for a two.
‘Well done – That’s a Golden Ferret’.
‘Never heard of it’.

Impressing today was Steve Aspinall who sunk his putt for birdie on the 11th after getting nearest the pin.
He’d bounced off the flag before coming to rest 18 inches away. Great golf Steve.

Andy Taylor is not planning any Christmas shopping this year or for the foreseeable future.
He collected12 Srixons for his nearest the pin in a recent event.
‘The wife’s getting these for Christmas. I’ll be giving her a box of three for each of the next four years.

Congratulations to the two Wychwood teams who made the most of their local knowledge to finish in first and second place. Nigel Edward led his team of In Snape, Oliver Scopes and Andrew Jennings into1st place. 2nd place went to Maxitours ever present Dave Goodwin, Richard Williamson, Dave Greenwood and Phil Robinson. Excellent golf.

Thanks to everyone for your support.
Yours in Golf
Tim

Maxitours at Magnificent North Manchester

Masters trip – now room for just 2 players!

Maxitours at magnificent North Manchester Golf Club

It was great to return to North Manchester after a fifteen year break. There are exciting times ahead for this Club as the state of the art Clubhouse will open in early 2027. It looks amazing.

The course was playing tough, overnight rain, cool conditions and a strong breeze made it a very stern test of golf. Players were really impressed by the layout and we will be back next Summer to experience the course at its very best.

I’ve not seen Club Pro Jason Peel for fifteen years . He’s a top lad and well loved by all is peers. His hair was showing plenty of grey and there was a little more chubbiness to his smile than I remember. It’s incredible how some guys age yet I still manage to look exactly the same as I did thirty years ago.

Dave More’O’Farrells wife Collette loves me. We’ve never actually met but every now and then Dave brings me homemade pies and cakes she has made for me. They are incredible. Tandoori sausage rolls today followed by lemon drizzle cake was to die for. Thanks Mrs O.

There was romance in the air today. Steve and Janet Heywood were married on 28th October 1989. Things were a bit tight but they saved up and held their reception at North Manchester golf Club. Exactly 36 years to the day they were back at North Manchester Golf Club, still happily married and enjoying playing Maxitours golf with each other. Brilliant.

Barry Caldwell is a relatively new Maxitours player and entered a team into all the Summer fixtures. The team are all single players but have been frustrated by a lack of success. Today was their day. In possibly the strongest wind experienced all season his team had a solid 79 points to take first place.

Caldwell lives near St Helens and his company makes reinforced glass for barges. His talented team cruised to a four stroke victory. Well played chaps.

Bramhall’s Ian King, Andy Hagan, Andy Dean and Mark Grahamslaw took 2nd with 75 points pipping Sandiways John McGee, Martin Molyneaux and John Colquitt into 3rd spot.

Thanks to everyone for your support,

Yours in golf, Tim
