Thursday 26th July

Perhaps the last of the hot weather for our fixtures and nineteen turned out to enjoy it. John Gibson won with 36 points and Bruce Bedford had the best back nine of the following three 35s. Next Tuesday we play for the Ronnie Thompson Trophy which is a medal competition.

Tuesday 24th July

Seventeen played with one retiring injured. David Low won and Jonathon C-Nixon second.

Powfoot Match Result

A bit of drizzle for a short while at the start but otherwise pleasant and the course in good condition. The match was halved with four games each and a good meal to follow.

Thursday 19th July

For the record, thirteen played with Tommy Neilly winning and Andrew Edwards second. Next Monday we have our away match at Powfoot.

Tuesday 17th July

Another pleasant breezy day with Bruce Bedford's 36 points winning the John Eilbeck Trophy and unlucky Lynn Hopkins one point behind.
Please advise if your club handicap is adjusted so we can keep our records up to date.

Seascale Match Result

Once again, lending the opposition a star player didn't work in our favour as we could only draw with four games apiece, losing that pairing made the difference.
I'm informed that Andrew Edwards is at home recovering after a stay in hospital. We wish him well.
Next Tuesday is the Eilbeck Trophy competition and the following Monday our away match against Powfoot.

Tuesday 10th July

A three way tie with 37 points for Roger Cutts, Charles Woodhouse and myself resolved by my better score on the last three holes followed by Charles. Again a reminder seems necessary for players to be aware of speed of play which resulted in five hours on the course for the last four ball through no fault of their own. Thursday is our home match against Seascale.

Tuesday 3rd July

Seventeen played, David Frith won with 39 points and Peter Taylor second with 38.

Good food, good conditions, good company but unfortunately a 3.5 - 4.5 loss. Let's hope we get our own back in our rearranged home match.
