Thursday 28th April

Jim Johnson will be smiling with his winning 43 points and everyone else smiling to see he's been docked six shots (24 - 18). Having a decent second place round myself with 39 points loses me three shots (21 - 18).

A reminder that next Tuesday is the handicap qualifier John Todd Shield with entries via the touchscreen.

Seascale Match Result

I'm informed that our team enjoyed their day despite a 5 - 4 loss with decent weather and a good meal afterwards. Seascale requested we add another pairing and the suspicion could be that they included a couple of ringers.

Twelve played at Silloth, Bob Finlinson cleaned up with 38 points.

Next Tuesday we play for the John Todd Shield.

Thursday 21st April

The strength of today's east wind was reflected in twenty five of the twenty six scores of which Gilmour McKellar's (16 - 15) 34 points took second place but eclipsed by Harry Wright whose 43 cost him 6 shots (27 = 21).

Next Tuesday our team play Seascale away but we still have a reduced number of tee times for anyone wanting an unofficial knock around.

Handicaps

Having just updated the results sheet that will be going on the notice board tomorrow I notice that several members' stroke indexes have been adjusted by enough to alter their yellow tee stroke allowances. This follows Tuesday's qualifying competition so please check your handicap prior to teeing off. 

G.Doughty Cup Result

Thirty three took part today in sunny conditions that turned cool. Gary Blackley came good on the day with 42 points (20 - 18) and Joe Holmes second with 39 (19 - 18). All played off 95% of stroke allowance.

Congratulations to Gerry Fisher for a hole in one on the ninth.

Next Tuesday, sixteen will be away playing our fixture against Seascale. 

Thursday 14th April

Martin Fouracre had his nice new handicap clipped by three shots (32 - 29) today with his 37 points win in today's ideal conditions. Gilmour McKellar (18 - 16) was runner up with 36. Bob Finlinson, John Gibson and myself got two shots back. Twenty six played which meant we filled all our allocated tee slots.

Next Tuesday we play for the handicap qualifying George Doughty Cup.

Handicaps etc.

I've just updated my record of everyone's yellow tee allowances following Tuesday's competition and several have been adjusted so please check your WHS index.

John Parker volunteered to extend the J Todd shield for further names and below is a photo of the excellent job he has made of it.
