Maxitours at Mottram Hall – space for 2 teams next week – long term forecast looks dry all week

Maxitours at superbly dry Shrigley Hall

Shrigley Hall well and truly stepped up to the plate today as a late replacement for the waterlogged Fleetwood course.

The course was incredibly dry and the greens excellent as all players enjoyed this spectacular golf course. A few Maxitours players will sleep well tonight as the rolling Pennine foothills gave my players an enjoyable work out. The only ones who won’t sleep tonight were the ones who couldn’t wait for their beds and fell asleep in the Clubhouse.

Its Burns night tonight but it was Welshman Mark Hughes and his team who will be playing with their daffodils tonight after a fantastic second place at Shrigley Hall. Nigel Ashtons majestic three on the final hole over the Shrigley Hall lake will live long in his memory.

Taking the win today was the big hitting team of Steve Booth(8), John Dempsey(1), Charlie Bleasedale(11)and Jamie Booth(10). A great team effort from the Turton quartet saw them take their first victory of the winter. Well played guys.

Thanks to everyone for changing venue and 100% attendance today.

Dear Maxitours players

The Fleetwood course has had lots of rain but forecast looks good so a decision will be made at 3pm tomorrow

Hopefully we will have a 16 hole event.

Thanks for your patience,
Tim

*Spaces at Mottram Hall on Thursday 1st February

Dear Maxitours players,

Unfortunately Vale Royal has had a couple of inches of snow overnight and this won’t be thawed in time for our event tomorrow so we have made the early decision to cancel..

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Next week at Fleetwood is going ahead- I just spoke to their professional and the course and especially the greens are in excellent condition.
They are currently on 16 holes but this may increase to 18. There will be a £2.50 reduction per player if 16 holes are open.

Thanks
Tim

MAXITOURS AT “MARVELOUS” MOTTRAM 11th JANUARY

Many thanks to my good friend PGA Professional Matt Turnock from Mottram Hall for running today’s event and producing the results whilst I make final preparations for the Portugal trip:

A dry day with very gentle breeze made for pleasant conditions for the time of year. Mottram’s reputation for being a great winter course and draining well after recent unprecedented rainfall in previous weeks was fully confirmed.

The greenkeeping team led by Scott Newton did a fantastic job of presenting the course and greens in superb condition with them rolling nicely with lots of positive comments.

Also big thanks to the Mottram Clubhouse staff for the provision of coffee and bacon rolls in the morning and afternoon food offerings which many players took advantage of.
Congratulations to Kevin McEvoys team of Pete Ledger, Graham Jackson and Norrie Erwan with a super 84 points to narrowly pip Gary Neiles team.

Thanks again for all your support, Matt.
Today’s results were:

2’s – £157.50 = 6 ProV1’s or 8 TP5’s or 14 AD333’s
Andy Parrington, Matt Ford, Richard Johnson, Kevin McEvoy, Graham Jackson, Roger Percival, Ian Owens and Paul Calnan
Nearest the pin on 7th – Richard Johnson 1 x Doz AD333’s
Nearest the pin on 11th – Mike Lowe 1 Doz AD 333’s
