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.
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.
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.
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 )
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.
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.
