Tuesday 22nd May

Only twenty two turned out on a glorious day to compete for the Tom Sowerby Trophy.
Where has everyone gone lately as a couple of years ago at least thirty would have taken part.
Richard Brogden and Robin Binny were the best of the bunch with 39 points each, Richard winning on count back.
I've left the report of the Workington match until last so you can guess the result!

Tuesday 15th May

Trevor Wilson won today's John Todd Shield in trying conditions with the same 38 points as Grant Anderson but a better back nine.
Next week is busy with our away match at Workington on Monday and the Tom Sowerby Trophy to play for on Tuesday.

Seascale Match Result

A convincing 6 - 2 win for the Sandpipers lead by captain Geoff Waite, and surprisingly every match continued through the half hour deluge which fortunately wasn't accompanied by wind..
Once again the after match proceedings were very hospitable.

Thursday 3rd May

Congratulations to both Bernard Keighley and John Dixon who both knocked their drives on the first up into the horseshoe.
John carried on the good work to amass 36 points, one behind today's winner John Gibson.
Next Tuesday is our away match with Seascale.
Joe is still six players short for the forthcoming match against Workington - please step up to the plate and help him out.

Tuesday 1st May

Only four of the nineteen contestants for the George Doughty Cup competition today came in with nett par stableford scores or better, giving some idea of the difficulty playing into a stiff NE wind. It seems I coped the best with 40 points, one ahead of Ian Porter.
Thursday is in our diaries as a 4BBB subject to a suitable number of players turning up and next Tuesday is our away match against Seascale commencing at 10.00am.
