Thursday 29th July Result

A couple of squally showers but otherwise quite pleasant conditions.

Welcome to new member Philip Cooper who made his debut today and congratulations to David Frith and Tommy Neilly for their winning 37 and 36 points respectively  and also scooping the last credits pool with Tommy's accumulated 28.5 and David's 21.2 credits.

Starting next week everyone who tees off puts £1 in the kitty in the lounge and we revert to our very popular handicapping system. We start with the Laurie Carrick trophy with winner and runner up losing 2 and 1 shots respectively.

Simon informs us that the Pro's shop will only be staffed by one person and asks us to be patient if they are called out to sort out buggies etc. I recommend we each collect a few cards to keep in our bags.

More importantly we will be returning part way to the original funding and handicapping on the first Tuesday in August. Entries and draw will continue via Joe as at present but entry pounds must be deposited in the lounge on completion of round. If you tee off you owe the kitty a pound and cash will be split 60/40 between first and second.. Even more important we are reverting to the Sandpiper handicapping system and the sheet pinned on the notice board.

Powfoot Match Result

We got off to a flying start from the first games in but that's as good as it got, eventually losing 3.5 - 4.5.

We enjoyed sunshine, a course in good condition and a tasty meal afterwards.

Last time I looked we were still one short for our home match against Carlisle.

Eilbeck Trophy Result

Congratulations to John Wraight with an excellent winning 42 points. After yesterday at Workington I'm tempted to say "no flies on John". 

Workington Match Result

A disappointing 3.5 - 5.5 loss today together with chaotic organisation and swarms of midges everywhere. On the bright side the course was in good condition, the weather held up and David and Octavia supplied a superb meal.

Seascale Match Result

Seascale's two victories included a win by one of the pairings we loaned them resulting in a 5 - 2 win for the Sandpipers.

Please have another look at the team selection for Workington where the start time has been amended.

I've adjusted the intervals to eight minutes and hope that they stick to their usual arrangement of starting the last three matches at the 17th tee. Keep an eye out for any further amendments that we haven't been made aware of as well as the one where we were expected to raise a team of twenty.
