Thursday 28th February

Perhaps the morning fog put people off but apart from a cool breeze, conditions were fine for the twelve who turned up. A few lucky putts gave me 38 points and a four shot cut. Robin Binny came second with 33.

Tuesday 26th February

A glorious day with twenty six enjoying the conditions. Joe Penrice won with 38 points, Mike Mapleton second with 34. Everyone was delighted that Geoff Scott made the effort to attend although not fit enough to join us on the course yet. Next Tuesday starts our competition calendar with a Texas Scramble.

Maryport / Silloth Road Closure

Only a couple of yards separates the road from a big drop onto the shore due to recent erosion so it looks as if it will take a few weeks to reopen. The road on the Silloth side of Dubmill Farm has closure notices in place but is accessible as a busy single lane rat run and links to Mawbray to Salta.
Alternative routes are via Aspatria and Westnewton or via Edderside to link up with the Aspatria road.

Thursday 21st February

A bit dreary today but well worth playing. Peter Taylor thought so having scored 40 points, six points clear of second placed Eddie Varah. Seventeen turned out.
Brian Taylor asked me to inform everyone that he has enough balls now and thanks those who contributed.

Tuesday 19th February

Twenty played in cold but fine conditions, with a wee breeze. Scoring was good with three 37s, Peter Taylor being the unlucky one to miss out on second place to Brian Taylor on the back 3. Winner on the back 9 was Gerry Fisher.
Thanks for all golf balls received so far, about 170. Any more available would still be welcome.
There are 8 names up so far for the Penrith Invitation Day, so it looks as if we will be entering a team. A new list will go up nearer the time from which a draw for the 8 members will be done, if necessary.

computer repair required

Unfortunately my laptop has died. Can anyone recommend a competent repair shop, preferably in the west? Reply to dcw@sunside.co.uk

Thursday 14th February

The day improved as the wind dropped. Grant Anderson won with 34 points on count back against Clive Milburn.
Joe will be placing the order for Sandpiper shirts and sweaters on 1st March so please add your name to the sheet asap to avoid disappointment.

Tuesday 12th February

Eight wimps out of the fifteen starters cut the round short when the wind driven drizzle showed no signs of easing. Tony Davis finished miles in the lead with 32 and Eddie Varah second with 26.

Thursday 7th February

A bonus today as the foul weather failed to materialise and eighteen took a chance whether we would play or not. Ian Hind returned an excellent winning 40 points and Robin Binny second with 36.
Brian Taylor requests our support for a summer charity event by providing any old golf balls (around 200 in total). Not for golf but pitching by hand towards a post. Nearest wins.

Tuesday 5th February

Luckily the heavy rain didn't start until after all sixteen had finished and the period of light rain with no wind wasn't too inconvenient. Bob Finlinson had the better back nine of 43 points to put Tommy Neilly into second place.
