Please add your name to the list ASAP if you are available.

Sandpipers v Carlisle Result

Trevor Wilson lead his troops to a 6 - 3 victory today in balmy conditions.
Not much more to report really except we all enjoyed an excellent meal afterwards.

Thursday 22nd March

Brian Taylor's 40 points was six clear of David Allison's second place score on a day that end of play finished in near shirt sleeve conditions. Twenty two turned out and if we'd known a bit sooner we could all have sung 'happy birthday' to Joe Campbell on the first tee.

Tuesday 20th March

A pity the course was shortened for our first qualifying competition of the year but with a strong breeze the +5 bogey scores for Trevor Wilson (1st) and Robin Binny were still pretty good. Roughly half of the scores were level or better. Twenty played with nineteen scores recorded.

Thursday 15th March

The weather forecast gave today as the warmest of the year so far - Wrong!!!!
Sixteen played with Jim Gilfillan's 35 points winning and Harry Wright second with 32.
Tuesday will be our first qualifying competition with the "bogey" format and the team for our Carlisle match is on the notice board.

Tuesday 13th March

A pleasant day for the 26 Sandpipers who turned out, even better for Grant Anderson who demonstrated the Highland Fling on the sixth tee to celebrate his "hole in one". His generosity in supplying a wee dram for his colleagues in the club house was much appreciated.
Trevor Wilson won the pot with 39 points (coming back from 4 down in our fourball) and Mike Mapleton claiming second place with 37.
Welcome back to Ejaz Malik and Malcolm Donald who have both been absent for a while.

Thursday 8th March

For the first time in ages I put a decent round together to score 39 points.
Unfortunately only 15 Sandpipers turned out so the four lost shots for winning wasn't very profitable.
Playing companion Willie Smith took second prize with 33 points, ahead of John Dixon on count back.

Tuesday 6th March

The largest turnout of the year so far (28) needed an extra couple of layers to keep out the keen wind.
Roy Williams celebrated his return from the USA with a countback win over Roger Cutts, both scoring 36 points.
Next Tuesday is the start of the "summer" season so our start time reverts to 11.00am.

Thursday 1st March

Only thirteen turned out today and although conditions were reasonable 34 points from David Barnes was enough to win and Club Captain Mike Cowen runner up with 30.
