Carlisle Match Result

This result is best forgotten as only one pairing managed a half, the rest were doomed to failure.
At least the food was good.

Tuesday 24th May

Twenty three competed in good conditions, Ian Hind winning with 38 points pipping Tommy Neilly with a better back nine.
Thursday is our away match at Carlisle.

Tuesday 17th May

Twenty four suffered the strong west wind to play for the Sowerby Trophy that was won by Ian Hind with 37 points followed by Brian Taylor's 35 (with the best back nine).

Workington Match Result

Once again the Beck Watchers proved too strong for us, winning 6.5 to 3.5 in perfect weather and their course in good condition. Willie Smith had the unenviable duty of returning the Shanks Trophy to their captain.

Thursday 12th May

A  perfect day apart from the stiff easterly wind. My 38 points was the best of eighteen followed by Joe Campbell four behind. Next week is busy with our match against Workington on Monday and the Sowerby Trophy on Tuesday. Spare a prayer for someone who drove the 8th green today (348yds) and then 6 putted.

Tuesday 10th May

Thirty five is the best turn out we've had for a long time. Unfortunately a strong east wind made scoring on the back nine difficult but David Low won the John Todd Shield with 37 points, one ahead of David McCrum. Next Monday is our away match against Workington.

Thursday Start Time Amendment

The Club has finally settled on Thursday 12th May for the Pro-Am competition which kicks off at 12 noon. We have been asked to bring our tee times forward to 10.30 up to 11.30 which shouldn't be too big a problem as Thursday is usually the quieter day. We'll let everyone know who turns up tomorrow but please make sure those that only come on Thursdays are made aware.

Thursday 5th May

Only Silloth had the persistent drizzle and wind when we started and lasted for at least half the round. Twelve of the sixteen players turned in some impressively poor scores leaving Ian Porter to take second place with 32 points and Clive Milburn winning with 37.
The highlight of the after proceedings was Geoff Waite presenting the retirement collection from the Sandpipers to the regular barman Alan Crumpler in appreciation for the way he has looked after us for the past few years.

Seascale Match Result

I'm informed that the match was played in dry, blustery conditions and Seascale won 4.5 - 3.5. The new caterers provided a good meal.
