Tuesday 29th May

First of all thanks to Bob Finlinson for withdrawing to leave eighteen to be drawn as pairs for the rearranged John Cooper Trophy. Still a strong wind from the east but only four points separated the top six scores, Lynn Hopkins (34) and Tony Davis (35) combining to beat a very creditable effort by David Low and Alan Proud by one point.

John Cooper Trophy

Just a reminder that this rearranged competition will be held on Tuesday 29th.
The format will be a drawn pairs with combining stableford scores played off full club handicaps. Individual scores will qualify for handicap adjustments

Carlisle Match Result

Two halves, two losses and four wins was a welcome result for the Sandpipers under the leadership of Tony Davis. Having found it difficult to come out on top at Carlisle in the past, today was a real bonus with a four match win over the two legs.

Tuesday 15th May

Goldilocks' golf today. Not too hot, not too cold but just right for David Low who won the Sowerby Trophy with 43 points.
Next week is busy with our match at Carlisle on Monday and a social trip to Lochmaben on Wednesday.
Robin Binny hasn't been seen for a while, suffering from a twisted ankle and Joe Campbell is making good progress with his pulled muscle

Workington Match Result

Good try but no cigar for today's match which we lost 4 - 6 and means that with the overall draw Workington retain the Shanks Trophy. On the bright side the course was in good condition and we played in shirt sleeves.

Thursday 10th May

Just fourteen out today to enjoy the sun and wind. Jonathon Nixon and Ian Porter were in the money with 34 and 32 points respectively. Welcome back to Alan Proud who changed his mind about retiring and commiserations to Joe Campbell who has pulled a muscle and likely to be out of action for a couple of weeks.

Tuesday 8th May

Another dismal windy day for twenty two of us to play for the John Todd Shield. Colin Campbell lifted it with 36 points, outgunning me on the back nine. Next Monday is our match at Workington and the away team for Carlisle the following week will be published here soon.

Thursday 3rd May

Another miserable windy day for the seventeen who turned out but a welcome win for Harry Wright after his long lay off with 34 points, one ahead of Grant Anderson in second place. Next Tuesday we play for the John Todd Shield.

Seascale Match Result

Apart from one game it was like turkey time at Christmas. The rain held off until the last game finished and the course was in good condition although the greens had just been top dressed.
