Maxitours at charming Chorley

A breezy Autumn day greeted Maxitours competitors at Chorley. There was the constant threat of showers but once again we got lucky and a great day was enjoyed by all.

This morning at 5am the course was flooded after 20 millimetres of rain fell but the green keepers were out preparing the course for us and the greens were superb despite the overnight rain.

Thanks to Club Pro Andy Palmer for looking after us so well, he can’t do enough to help and is a top player and a top, top, Club professional.

There is never a dull moment when Martin Humphries plays. He’s a brilliant lad but has been known to talk nonsense and he was at it again today watching the golf at Wentworth in the clubhouse:

‘It’s great to see Justin Rose playing so well. He’s having a real baptism of fire this year.’

‘What the hell are you talking about Martin? Do you mean Rose is having a second wind this year?’

‘Oh yeah. That’s the one!’

Scoring was close on the tricky Chorley course and there weren’t many shots flying around for anyone.

Late in the day the Hazel Grove team of Mick Jones, Mike Woods, Ian Martin and Darren Wilkinson scored 1 point on the 3rd hole but then caught fire on the back nine to take 3rd place with 83 points pipping Colin Roberts and his Alsager team and Martin Prescot and his Prestbury team.

Second place went to Tytherington’s Andy Hayward, Howard Kelly, Paul Unwin and Malc Kendrick. Howard and Paul had great birdies on the long 17th to really help the team score.

Winning a card play-off also with 84 points to take the first win for nearly a year were the ever-present Myton Fold Golf Clubs team of Mick Mahon(17), Richard Palmer(5), Andy Faulkner(8) and Russ Keighley(11). The incredibly likeable quartet were delighted and surprised to win with just 84 points. Mick is almost unrecognisable after a smart haircut recently and in an incredible coincidence his golf game is also looking much tidier. Excellent golf chaps!

Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance once again.

Maxitours at resplendent Ringway

A huge bullet was dodged today at Ringway as storm clouds passed us by and a five-minute shower in the middle of the day was the only rain in an otherwise beautiful day to be alive and playing golf with friends.

The course was magnificent considering the incredibly dry summer.
The greens here have always been exceptional in the Summer and they were rolling beautifully once again today. Congratulations to all the hard-working greens staff. The hospitality and food was also first class and great value for money. The Chilli and rice for £7.50 was a winner.

Stuart Hibbert is 82 years old and for many years the 35 handicapper was recognised as the worst ever golfer to play in maxitours history.
After playing unusually well all summer he scored 47 points last week to reduce his handicap to 27 -incredible.
He plays at Woolstanton Golf Club and is enjoying plenty run on the ball this summer. He is looking very confident and was recently overheard in the bar saying that ‘The course isn’t long enough for me.’ Another solid day saw Stuart and his team finish in the top ten. Well played Stuart.
Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll be playing his usual rubbish very soon.
Kev Hart has lost his ping wedge, he can’t hit it but for some reason he wants it back so if you found it let me know.
Scoring was excellent as players made the most of the putting surfaces.
It was nice to see Davyhulme’s popular Kevin Hart in the prizes despite having no wedge for his closing six holes. His team of Karl Marginson, Mark Foley and Pete O’Neill scored 86 points.

The Prestbury team took 2nd with 87 points Phil Singh, Mark Pretty, Nick Hargreaves and Pete Atherton once again shoed their class to record 87 points.

Steve Austins Alder Root team took first prize with 88 points. Steve’s son Mark is a one handicapper and was solid today as the father and son teamed up well. Andy Hamlett and John Hilton all contributed well. Great golf guys.

Thanks to everyone for your 100% attendance despite a poorish forecast. Thanks for your unrivalled integrity once again. It is a pleasure to work for you guys.

MAXITOURS AT “FABULOUS” ASTBURY

Huge thanks to Matt Turnock for running todays event so efficiently and huge congratulations to Phil McCurry and his winning team:

Maxitours players were treated to a lovely presented course today. Astbury is a jewel in the Cheshire countryside and even though it not the longest it provides a stern test with strategy and course management paramount.
The newly refurbished airy lounge and terraced area provided stunning views over the course whilst players enjoyed their morning coffees and bacon baps from Astbury’s friendly catering staff.
The morning starters definitely got the best of the weather along with those who finished early in the afternoon. Unfortunately, by late afternoon / early evening some heavy showers did come to pass so it did prove to be a big advantage for the earlier teams.
Many players expressed how nice the course was and how they had enjoyed it. Putting was very tricky with the subtle borrows so there were very few 2’s made today.
Simon Dyson couldn’t quite believe his luck when on the 16th hole he struck the overhead power cables not once but twice with his tee shots and was within inches on his 3rd retake. Unfortunately it wasn’t quite electrifying enough to earn his team a top prize but they did at least finish with a respectable 81 points.
Today’s runaway winners however were the Heyrose team of Tom Faulkner, Peter M R Taylor, Phil McCurry and Tim Bessant with an amazing 90 point haul.
Thanks for all your support, Matt (and Tim).

Maxitours at brilliant Bramhall

Posted on by

Maxitours at Brilliant Bramhall

I had heard great reports about the condition of Bramhall Golf Club this Summer and it certainly lived up to the billing today. The greens are the best I have ever seen them – pure, carpet like and SLICK! The feedback about the quality of the golf course throughout the day was outstanding.
Everyone loves playing at Bramhall, the membership is full and there is a lovely buzz in the beautiful clubhouse. The catering and hospitality were absolutely first class.

Lots of Bramhall members have played Maxitours over the years and when I started out 19 years ago a couple of loyal fourballs really helped my business to get up and running so I will always have a soft spot for this friendly club and its members. Thank you.

Never go to the fairground with Steve Webb. The ‘Hook a duck’ lady will take all your money. The 4th hole is a short par 4 over water in front of the clubhouse and Steve spent five minutes unsuccessfully trying to scoop his ball out of the water. He looked to be enjoying himself though which is the main thing.

Mrs Maxwell ran my event at Vale Royal recently and a few members reported seeing the tame fox which can follow you around on occasion. To amuse myself I told Garry Owens team to tell Suzy that there was also a wild kangaroo on the course. This week Gary was playing again and team mate Alan Gale told Suzy there was a llama on the 17th hole. She didn’t fall for it this time unfortunately but many thanks for trying Alan.

I thought Mrs Maxwell was getting her own back when I saw the results. She put Chris Ravenscrofts’ Hale team down as tied 2nd. After double checking I was amazed that this was in fact a correct score. There is normally more chance of seeing a kangaroo on the course than Chris Ravenscroft, Martin Oldfield Steve Bates and Bob Siddle finishing in the top three but this actually happened at Bramhall today. Superb golf by four lovely blokes.

Sale’s Graham Jenkinson, Alan Drysdale, John Hassett and Gareth Moore also surprised many people including themselves with their 85 to take 2nd on the card play off. Excellent golf by 4 real gentlemen.

The likeable Prestbury team of Pete Atherton, Club Captain Martin Prescott, Nick Hargreaves and Mark Pretty took first place after a career best 88 points. Atherton put his teams’ success down to a couple of substitutions
‘We offloaded regular players Chris Adams and also team sandwich maker Nigel Oakes and immediately things improved’.
The team had a solid round but finished strongly with 7,6 and 6 points to take a well-earned victory. Brilliant.

Thanks to everyone for your incredible support what a great day!

Maxitours at super Stockport.

Maxitours players were treated to breakfast in very glamourous surroundings as the new clubhouse refurbishment was unveiled to my players today. Reports were 100% positive. The interior looks fantastic. If Mrs Maxwell was running the event this week she might be painting our walls Stockport golf club blue. It did look good to be fair. Well done to everyone at Stockport.

Daisy and Hannah also need a mention for looking after us so well. Rob the head greenkeeper did plenty of maintenance work on the course last week and then did a tremendous job to get it in shape for us today. Brilliant.

Scouser Gavin Connor calmly handed his scorecard in after his round. He then checked his phone, made a funny noise and started jumping up and down waving his arms around wildly. I was going to ask for help when I managed to hear him mention something about Jack Grealish signing for his beloved Everton. Let’s hope they never win anything or he could end up in hospital.

Jonny Barton was looking slightly orange when he handed his card in. He was covered in a light dusting of sand. He had been in ten bunkers.

‘ I needed my bucket and spade today.’ Reported the likeable Lymm legend.

‘ By the end of the day I was looking for a dead crab to put on top of my castle.’

Richard Blackwell was playing with three guys even older than he was. The total age of the team was over 300 years.

‘We have all been playing golf for over 200 years and we still don’t know what to do!’ They joked before their round. They actually called upon all of their experience and finished with 88 points today to take 2nd place.

Winning on a card play off was the Knutsford team of Norrie Erwin, Dave Walters, Jim Clarke and Heyrose’s Graham Jackson. A few of you may know 18 handicapper Dave Walters as the incredibly popular friendly guy who worked at the Beeches driving range giving out free tips on the golf swing despite not having a clue what he is talking about. A bit like myself really.

Today, he was on fire and had a career best score of 82 to lead his team home. Graham Jackson, Jim Clarke and Norrie Erwin all came in nicely as the team won their first event for over two years on a card play-off. Congratulations chaps.

Thanks to everyone for your support and attendance today.

Yours in golf, Tim
