Thursday 29th May 2025

Tuesday’s weather was bad enough but an increase in wind and rain saw only 5 turn up, 4 play, 7 holes - no fun. Round 3 of Summer League is on 19th June as we have Brampton and Powfoot matches over next two Thursdays.

Tuesday 27th May 2025

It was hard to believe we have just had the sunniest May on record as we prepared to face a strong blustery prevailing wind, cool temperatures and squally showers. However the burnt fairways and slick greens quickly reminded the 22 who set off at ten minute intervals between 11.00 and 12.00. The nasty weather got the better of three of our number who only played a few holes before seeking the shelter of the clubhouse. The remaining 19 battled on and Dave Atherton shone, winning with 37 points, beating David Low, with 36 points, into second place ( after countback).

Thursday Summer League 22nd May 2025

 Summer League Week 1

21 Sandpipers turned up to play week 1 of the summer league plus 1 Sandpiper turned up to play the match against Brampton! 

22 enjoyed another hot day and lots of run on the fairways. In the second place was Clark Black 40 points. The clear winner with 44 points and shooting his age of 78 was Brian Taylor, congratulations. 

John Todd Shield

24 Sandpiper’s attended on Tuesday. The course continues to bake in this long dry spell. Dave Atherton collected the nearest the pin prize. The shield was a close affair with two players tied in 40 points. Steve Whitehead finishing second on the countback. The winner was David Frith. 

Thursday 15 May 2025

Thursday League 15th May.

26 Sandpipers played on a breezy sunny day. The course continues to harden and burn so we are getting some interesting bounces on the fairway. 

Vince Ross continued his good Thursday form and took second place with 37 points.  Martin Fouracre was a clear winner with 43 points. 

Next Tuesday is the John Todd shield. 

Tuesday 13th May 2025

With our team playing away at Carlisle yesterday, we ended up with only 11 taking part today. Another glorious day but a very stiff breeze from the east proved a challenge. 3 players ended up with 35 points and the winner was Howard Foster.  

Thursday 8th May 2025

The fairways are now running much faster as the course has started to burn due to the lack of rain. Putting this to their benefit were Vince Ross who came first with 36 points and Denzil Addison second with 35. As this was the 9th game of the Spring league, next week is the final. Can anybody catch Vince? ( he leads by 13 points )

Tom Sowerby Trophy - Tuesday 6th May

 21 enjoyed a lovely day at Silloth with the course playing hard and dry. Two nearest the pins took place and were won by Jon Derry and Martin Fouracre. 

Second place was taken by Terry Bunn with 37 points but 1st place and the trophy goes to Jim Shaw with a magnificent 42 points. Well played Jim. 

Thursday 1st May 2025

24 set off in bright sunshine but were soon having to add layers as the breeze was stiff and quite cool. Martin Fouracre was equally cool and accrued 38 points to win with John Wraight second with 35.
