Tuesday 26th May

The majority of today's twenty players excelled at the mediocre in today's breezy conditions with Tommy Neilly's 35 points putting Ian Hind into second place with 33.

Thursday 21st May

The strong wind made the front nine difficult. Fifteen played with David Low's 37 points enough to win and myself second with 36, just scraping in on the back six.

Tuesday 19th May

Another windy day with a brief shower of sleet thrown in for the Sowerby Trophy competition.
Ivor Nelson won with 40 points followed by David Low with 37. Only sixteen turned out, possibly because playing two consecutive days seemed a bit too much.

Workington Match Result

Today's 4 - 4 draw ended an eleven year drought as it was 2004 since the Sandpipers held the Shank's Trophy played over home and away legs. Captain Brian Taylor led the troops in weather that improved as the day went on.
Thank you to everyone who has enquired about Irene's health and I'm pleased to report that the surgery seems to be a complete success.

Thursday 14th May

A strong east wind played havoc with the scores again, Grant Anderson and John Gibson both having 30 points and Grant the better back nine. Fifteen played.

Tuesday 12th May

Joe Holmes' winning score of 30 points must be one of the lowest ever to win a Sandpiper's trophy but was earned playing against a 40mph west wind and puts his name on the John Todd Shield. Bruce Bedford was just one point behind.
Next Monday is our match against Workington and Tuesday the Tom Sowerby Trophy.

Thursday 7th May

Today's weather was nothing like the warm sunny forecast but the last fourball turned in two exceptional scores, Charles Woodhouse with 39 points and Gerry Fisher with 38. Twenty one endured the chilly wind and showers.

Seascale Match Result

The weather started as miserable, progressed to dire and returned to playable (just).
To cap it all we lost 3.5 to 4.5 but everyone seemed to enjoy the meal and company in the lounge.
A busy two weeks coming up with the  Todd Shield next Tuesday and the Sowerby Trophy the following week.
