Celts v Saxons

Plenty of negative feedback for the suggestion of altering the date from the 11th September as members have already braced themselves for it so the date stands.

Penrith Match Result

Another good result with a 6.5 - 1.5 win at Penrith which hopefully we can continue against Brampton in our rearranged home match. Unfortunately we are still two players short and to help the situation it has been proposed that we move back the Celts v Saxons match to the following week so we don't have three days play on the trot.

Tuesday 28th August

A stiff breeze from the west today kept the scoring down for the Bob Saunders Cup.
Ian Hind won with 37 points, Gerry Fisher second with 36.
For those who knew Peter Hetherington his funeral will be on Tuesday 4th September but I don't have the full details.

Penrith Match Shotgun Start

Matches 7 & 8 will start from the 15th Tee at 9.20am on Wed 29th August.
Joe

Tuesday 21st August

The best turnout of the year so far with Joe Penrice the best of thirty players, his 37 points winning the J Banks Trophy. Lynn Hopkins' better back nine of three 36s taking second place.
Unfortunately someone claims to have observed a Sandpiper inside the roped off area to the left of the sixteenth green. Please advise everyone that this is not permitted.
This Thursday the course is closed for the Seniors' Open.

Penrith Match Result

Under his first captaincy David Frith led us to 6.5 - 1.5 win. The strong breeze probably was in our favour and luckily the odd bit of drizzle didn't develop into anything worse.

Thursday 9th August

Thirteen played in fine conditions.
Roger Cutts won with 37 points, David Frith second with 36.

Tuesday 7th August

Joe Holmes won today's Carrick Trophy with 42 points making it three wins in a row and topped with a hole in one on the 9th. He generously bought everyone present a drink before finding that the club's insurance covered the cost for a qualifying competition. Lynn Hopkins' 40 points nearly got him down to a scratch handicap. Next Tuesday we play our home match against Penrith.

Tuesday 31st July

We would struggle to find a worse day to play our only medal competition. A howling wind saw fourteen of the twenty seven N/R and of the remainder three nett 75s were the best in, Joe Holmes beating Bob Finlinson on the back nine.
A sheet is on the board for the inter club team game at Penrith on the 12th September. Selection is made by an open draw.
August is very busy with something on most Tuesdays and some Thursdays.
