Carlisle Match Result

Captain Trevor Wilson led his team to a decisive 7 - 3 victory in conditions that can only be described as 'crap'.
Even so, all the pairings finished although only one took it as far the 16th.
Afterwards we all enjoyed a super meal and then off home to dry out all our gear.

Tuesday 23rd March

28 Sandpipers turned out to face a stiff breeze that eventually died down.
Our first official competition of the year went to Robin Binny with +4 and Harry Wright second with +3 in the bogey format.
Unfortunately, due to factors outside our control, some of us were out there for more than 4.5 hours.

Thursday 18th March

The strong wind didn't bother Charles Tidswell today and with two podium finishes in a week, his 39 points took first prize with Dave Wood second on 35.
The real highlight was Joe chasing his runaway trolley.
Don't forget that next Tuesday is a Bogey competition.

Tuesday 16th March

A reasonable day for golf with a cool southerly breeze. Surprisingly low scores however with Alan Proud's 35 and Charles Tidswells 32 being the highest points from the field of 26.
Make a note of the date as for the first time I can remember we were waved through by the group in front.
Not unsurprisingly we were all so taken aback we made a pussy's bottom of our tee shots!

Thursday 11th March

I can only report from the result sheet, having traveled to Powfoot for an away day, but John Tudor returned to winning form by edging out John Gibson who also scored 39 points in a field of 23 players.

Tuesday 9th March

Approximately 26 started on a very pleasant afternoon.
Robin Binny took first prize with 38 points and David Allison second with 37.
A couple of minor alterations to the 2010 fixture list - Thursday 1st April will be a Greensomes competition kicking off at 11.00am and the start time of our away match at Seascale has been amended to 11.00am.
The web site diary will be adjusted accordingly.

Thursday 4th March

The thirty one members who turned up hoping the overnight frost wouldn't spoil the day were not disappointed.
A warm, sunny afternoon in perfect conditions and the cream came to the top.
Joe Donlan scooped the pool with 36 points and Robin Binny had second prize torn from his grasp after Brian Taylor's card eventually emerged from Sandy Tonner's back pocket.

Tuesday 2nd March

Who would have thought that with all the overnight snow that nineteen of us would enjoy a warm spring afternoon on the full course.
Joe Cambell isn't complaining as he turned in 42 points with encouragement from his playing partner who just pipped Charles Woodhouse on the back nine with 39 points.
Once again modesty prevents me from mentioning names!
The list for our home match against Carlisle is now on the notice board.
