Outing to Maxstoke Park Golf Club on 6th September 2012
Once again the weather was outstanding as 24 members visited this gem of a course in Coleshill.
Before commencing play the Chairman’s Cap was awarded to Warren for being “twice or thrice forgetful” luckily he did remember his shoes this time, which is more than can be said for David Morris!!!! Warren being a member here was proud to point out the 6 times he appeared on the honours list boards.
This parkland course is heavily tree lined and with greens running at 12/13 on the Stimp meter (about 25 per cent faster than quick greens at Broadway) it is no wonder that scoring was difficult.
Local knowledge proved an advantage as Warren won the Stableford competition with 32 points Steve Heritage was runner up with Russ Ralph third both with 30 points.
 The nearest the pin in two shots on the 4th hole was won by Ray Cordes, with Steve Jordan winning the nearest the pin in one shot on the 16th hole.
Congratulations went to Chairman Phil on becoming a grandfather – surely not old enough!!
An excellent golfer’s supper rounded of a great day at Maxstoke.
Après golf at The Clubhouse ended a very successful outing.
This round was the final qualifier for the McWolder Cup and Phil will shortly announce the team to take on The Coach & Horses at Evesham Golf Club on 30th September.
Our next Society outing is on 2nd November at The Wychwood Golf Club the entry sheet is at The Bell .
