Maxitours February trip full- ROOM IN THE FANTASTIC JANUARY EVENT

Room still available on the January trip to amazing Quinta do Lago – possibly the best resort in Europe. Great golf, friendship and competition.

Maxitours at lovely Lancaster

Lancaster Golf and country club was magnificent today. The golf course was a stunning lime green colour as the drought that has hit the rest of the UK has missed this little oasis.

The putting surfaces and fairways were immaculate and the clubhouse and surrounding huge trees and gardens are wonderful.

The Maxitours competitors who travelled were rewarded with one of the best golfing days of the year.

The temperature was 5 degrees or so cooler than the Manchester area as the cool sea breeze and elevated course gave some welcome relief.

It was great to see Clarion Wealth owner Keith Thompson playing today and his Hale team had a very respectable mid table finish. Thanks for all you do for my tour Keith.

Bob Clarkes wife isn’t daft. Carolyn came to Lancaster to watch her partner play golf. They also have a static camper van parked up nearby. It was soon a toss-up between watching Alcaraz’s legs or Bob’s slice. She quietly disappeared to the van and had a much more enjoyable afternoon chomping on an ice cream and watching the tennis.

The journey to Lancaster took just over an hour from Knutsford. I don’t know where Kevin Moore thought Lancaster was but he turned up 3 hours before his tee time.

‘My timing is all wrong.’ he admitted. Likeable Kevins’ timing didn’t improve on the course and the team finished with 66 points.

Scoring was low as the Maxitours players unrivalled integrity was once again on full display.

Recording their first ever win with 81 points was the Tytherington team of Steve Dow(10), Andrew Adshead(11), Steve Webb(6) and Nick Coleman(9). Adshead was a young man when he started playing in my events nearly 20 years ago and he can now finally sleep easily after getting the huge monkey off his back. Two solid pars on Lancasters famous closing par three secured a one shot win.

Second place went to Hopwoods Steve and Janet Heywood playing alongside Chris Lee and Graham Davenport. They came home in 42 points to charge through the field. Jim Caldwells Wilmslows team was 3rd and Sandiways Gary Neiles was 4th.

It was good to see Salfords Kev Hart back in the prizes in 5th place.

What a day. Thanks for playing.

Maxitours at marvellous Manchester Golf Club

Manchester golf club was in superb condition for today’s Maxitours event. The recent rain has helped all courses but Hopwood really was exceptional. Thanks to respected head greenkeeper Jonny and his high quality team.

Steve Proctor and his catering team also looked after us incredibly well.

Martin Mellor had a cataract done recently. He told me that before the operation when he played he:

‘ Literally had no idea where the ball had gone – I knew it was in the woods of course but I was never sure if it was a wild slice or an uncontrollable hook.’

‘I only had one eye done so I should be 50% better than I used to be.’ After his round he wanted a cataract reversal as he decided that he plays better when he doesn’t know where he is going.

It’s been a great summer so far with plenty of sunshine but you would never guess it looking at Dave Goodwin’s legs. For some reason they are getting whiter by the week. When he plays in the evening he has started attracting a few moths which are drawn to the brightness.

Andy Parringtons golfing nickname is Viagra because he can’t stop his handicap from rising. The likeable Withington man hit some form today though and made an impressive eagle on the second hole as his team finished with a solid 82 points.

The three leading scores for most of the day all teed off in the first few groups. Dave Goodwin, Phil Robinson, Richard Williamson and Alex Smith set the early pace with 86 points.

Mick Mahon(19), Andy Faulkner(10), Richard Palmer(7) and Nigel Smith(12) then bettered them with 87 points. Mick Mahon was unrecognisable on and off the course. He had a smart new haircut which has knocked years off him and then played like a tour pro during his round. Keep it up Mick.

Paul Fells(6) team have found some decent form latterly after a year in the doldrums and will be delighted to find out that their 87 points was good enough for fourth. Nigel Ashton(13), Colin Bryan(7) and Mike Lowe(10) all contributed well but Fellys excellent birdie on the tough 15th was crucial. Well played gentlemen.

Late in the day both the wind and oppressive temperatures dropped and a few good scores came in.

Sale’s Simon Poucher(8), Dave Carlile(12), Paul Browne(5) and Brendan Leighton(14) returned a superb 88 after 49 points on the front nine. Their best performance for a while saw the quartet laughing and joking over a few refreshing beers after play.

Tytheringtons Dave More’o’Farrell(8). Andy Adshead(8) Gary Leyland (6) and Paul Calnan(14) also had a solid 88 points. Calnans birdie on the 16th was the only birdie of the day as they picked up valuable points on a hole where everyone was dropping like flies.

Winning was Dave Griffiths(14), Chris Bracchi(9), Paul McCallum(7) and Mark Burton(9) with 88 points. Another team with poor form for many years but now playing with flare and confidence! Excellent.

Thanks to everyone for your continued support. Amazing.

results from the Clarion Masters at Vale Royal

Posted on by

Room at Hopwood on Monday 30th June and Lancaster the following Friday – 11th July 2 top venues!

Maxitours at Magnificent Vale royal.

Vale Royal was magnificent again today. This beautiful venue is a pleasure to play, the greens were cut and ironed for us and recent rain saw the green lush course presented immaculately. Thanks to all the green staff for their superb efforts.

Things were back to normal for Chris Lee and Graham Davenport this week. They played with their wives in the Maxitours Wales event last week and were on their best behaviour eating salad and being polite with each other. They were back on the buttered crispy bacon baps and ripping each other to shreds today. They looked very happy.

It was great to see Great Britain Olympic cyclist Rob Hayles playing with the Clarion Sponsors team- he still looked as fit as a fiddle. On the other end of the sporting spectrum was Stuart Hibbert – Maxitours worst ever golfer. I really thought we had seen the last of him through injury but he was back again inflicting more pain and frustration on his team mates and driving one of the most decrepit single seater buggies I have ever seen. He actually contributed a couple of times to everyone’s amazement.

In todays event the perfcet conditions saw some good scoring.

With an impressive score of ninety points was the retired Paul Robinsons Heyrose team of Tom Faulkner, Peter Taylor and Phil McCurry.

Robinson and McCurry are retired and feeling old on the last tee. They told their partners that the young guns were needed to perform on the last. Unfortunately, they both went out of bounds so left it to the oldies to secure a solid six points.

Winning today with 91 points were Saddleworths Dave Rhodes, Dave Sarsfield, Lee Tilley and Ian Hogg. They collected 8 points with two birdies in a dramatic ‘Keegan Bradley like’ finish on the closing hole. Well played guys. I am sure everyone had a great day.

Thanks for your support,

Tim.

Results from the final round of the Welsh Classic

Posted on by

Room for 2 teams at Vale Royal next Weds.

Maxitours at Wonderful North Wales

North Wales was in tremendous condition for the final round of the famous Welsh Classic. I had heard great reports about the golf course but things have really improved over the last couple of years. This is an absolute cracker.

The clubhouse service has always been excellent and Jamie and his team were first class once again today.

Nigel Davenport is a class golfer. But a night out with the Wilkinson brothers would see off Tiger Woods. The ex-Lancashire junior saw his first drive of the day hit a post just in front of the tee and the ball finished behind him. He then impressed by finishing his round driving the 309 yard 18th hole. Class is permanent. Thankfully a night out with the Wilkinsons is temporary.

Jeremy Lawton went out with his team to a lovely local fish restaurant called the Seahorse. Everybody orders the locally caught seafood there. For some reason Jeremy ordered meat and potato pie with chips and vegetables. The vegetables came with potatoes.

When asked why he didn’t order fish he replied.

‘I have absolutely no idea. I don’t even like potatoes’.

I had my eye on the seafood basket all day on the North Wales Golf Club specials board but when I came to order it late in the day I was had sold out. Dave Hughes had the last one and was smiling at me. Not a great move Dave. No free drops for the rest of your Maxitours career. EVER.

In todays event Paul Fells (6)team had a much-needed win. They scored a super 84 points in the breezier morning conditions. Retired head teacher Nigel Ashton(11) was on fire and Colin Bryan(5) and Mike Lowe(8) both contributed well for their best performance of the year.

In the overall 2 day Welsh Classic it was a Cinderella story for Dave Griffiths(17), Roger Arnold(4) Chris Bracchi (8) Dave Conville (11) They followed up a solid 81 points at Conwy with 82 points today to take the biggest victory of their lives. Dave birdied the last. He was thinking of giving up the game 12 months ago because he was playing so poorly. What a man.

Excellent!

Paul Fells team finished 2nd overall and Dave Sarsfields team (Dave Rhodes (9) Pete Norbury (16) and Ian Hogg (11) were 3rd after a special 83 points today.

Thanks to everyone for your amazing support. No issues at all and everyone playing in the right spirit with integrity and class. It’s a real privilege to run these events for you guys.

Tim.
