Maxitours at frosty Warrington.

Thanks to everyone for playing at Warrington today – a cold day but sounds as though a great time was had by all. Thanks to everyone at this terrific Club for hosting us so well.

Karen Gallagher once again did a great job stepping in for me and running the event smoothly. Thank you.

Well played Gary Smith,Daryl Mitton, Steve Austen and John Hilton – making the most of the firm fairways to record a terrific 89 points – narrowly beating Mick Mahons team into 2nd and Gary Neiles team into 3rd place.

I really hope everyone enjoyed the day. Thanks so much for playing

Dear Maxitours player,

Just spoke to Ben in the pro shop. They have 3/4 temp greens today but he is optimistic this could be just 1 tomorrow. 🤞 There will be a maximum of 4.

Their will be overnight frost but the event is definitely going ahead.

The sun should be shining.

Remember to please support the host club caterer – Warrington is a lovely club.

Yours in golf

Tim

Maxitours at windy but wonderful Crosland Heath

Wow! A very,very, windy day greeted Maxitours players at Crosland Heath today.

The sandstone based course was in great condition and all players came off with mud free shoes and trousers. They also came off the course with ruddy faces and interesting hair styles as the gale force winds took their toll. Steve Austin is almost completely bald and even his remaining few strands looked windswept.

The greens and fairways are the driest for miles around.

Early in the day there were some rain showers despite my weather app saying there would be no rain. A local member told me that very often the apps get it wrong because it isn’t really raining it is just some ‘low cloud passing through’. So if any players were wondering: we had no rain today -just a bit of cloud. I’m going to use that one in future.

This part of Yorkshire is very friendly and all the staff were lovely. I had a few chats with the members and they were great.

When I arrived I asked for a registration table and the caterer asked me if I wanted Torst. I had no idea what he was talking about and just smiled. Ten minutes later he brought me some toast.

Gary Owens team crashed and burned on the long 5th hole as it was playing nearly 450 yards into the wind. They were not the only casualties on that hole as a few years ago a plane crash landed after a dodgy take off from Huddersfield airport which runs parallel to the hole. Luckily there were no casualties unlike Owens team who only scored 1 point and they all went home in an ambulance.

Scoring was always going to be tough in the gale force breeze.

Only three teams scored higher than par – reflecting the terrific integrity of Maxitours players. I am so lucky to have such great players each week. Thank you.

‘It was a day to remember’ Declared positive Simon Raine.

Steve Heywood likes tomato sauce on his chips. His new name is Heinz after his team could only manage a variety of 57 points today.

Birmingham born likeable West Bromwich Albion fan Chris Adams is talking a bit posher after his year as Prestbury golf club Captain- he is also playing a bit better and he led his team into 3rd place with just 73 points. Mark Pretty, Pete Atherton and Richard Johnson were his team mates.

North Manchesters Ray Massey, John Gleave, Stuart Hibbert and James Imeson bravely battled the wind and took 2nd with 74 points.

Winning today were the Wychwood Park team of Martin Wainman, Pete Keena, Ray Cornwall and Dan Boyles with 76 points. They started on the 7th and struggled before picking up 5 shots in their closing 4 holes after a game changing seven point haul on the 4th.
Great golf, well played team!

Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance.

Excellent.
Tim
