Tuesday 31st August Result

Twenty two played in our first turn out drawing balls from the bag. Good conditions suited Gerry Fisher with 45 points and a significant reduction in handicap. Tommy Neilly also scored well with 42 and a five shot handicap penalty. Unfortunately someone forgot that we now play for a pound and forgot to leave theirs.

Celts v Saxons

The annual match is in the Club's diary for the 7th September but as quite a few of us are not available on that day it has been rearranged for Tuesday  21st September. A sheet will be put on the notice board for members to enter the ancestral team they wish to play for. Anything beginning with Mac, Mc or O' are automatically selected.

Penrith v Sandpipers Result

Another scorcher at Penrith today after the mist burnt off. The Penrith captain informed us that five of the matches were decided by just one hole. Unfortunately he was smiling at the time before announcing a 7 - 1 win for Dads Army.

Thursday 26th August Draw

Only eight names, less than 12 doesn't affect handicaps and winner takes all.

Thursday 19th August Result

I think I have today's results correct having received them over the phone while being driven along the Carlisle bypass. This may come as a shock to the two winners with exceptional scores now we have reverted to the original handicapping system where Peter Taylor's 41 points has cost him 5 shots and Tony Davis' 40 points 4 shots. With only sixteen playing it wasn't financially a good move.

Next Tuesday we play for the Saunders Trophy, entering via email to Joe by 6pm Sunday. Next week is also the last week for email entries as the following week we revert to balls in the chute.

Tuesday 17th August Result

Again twenty nine played in clement conditions  for the Jimmy Banks Trophy which was won by Steven Whitehead with 40 points off a stroke allowance of 23. Applying the 2 stroke penalty carries his Sandpiper allowance forward to 21. John Parker's 39 second place on countback entitled him to a 1 shot reduction.

Email Entries

The current method of entering names for Tuesdays and Thursdays was envisaged as a temporary means to accommodate the Club's social distancing requirements. Whilst it has obvious advantages the socialising has suffered and reliance on Joe and myself to be available on Sunday and Tuesday evenings can't be maintained indefinitely.

Therefore from Sunday 29th August it will not be necessary to book an entry and on Tuesday 31st August we revert to drawing balls from the bag. For our newer members this means having a clearly identifiable ball to go in the draw and all the excitement of being drawn out last.

Balls are drawn from the bag at 10.50am and we are respectfully requested not to crowd round the chute as we are not out of the woods yet.

Penrith Team Invitation 22 Sept

Regrettably due to being unable to raise a team with several people removing their names we have informed Penrith that we are unable to enter the competition. Financially this means we do not have to forward the £170 entry fee and risk not recovering it from team members. We also informed them that we would like to be considered for a 2022 entry should circumstances improve..

Thursday 12th August Result

First of all welcome back to Eddie Varah although he could have brought a calmer day with him. The strong wind was reflected in the scores, four with 33 points of which Tim Herbert took first place beating David Frith on a a back 6 countback. Next Tuesday we play for the Banks Trophy so please make sure you email you entries to Joe in good time.

Poetry

Jim Johnson obviously had some time on his hands and has composed this poem that summarises his game with Dads Army.

Carlisle Match Result

A thumping 7 - 1 win for the Sandpipers today with Gerry Fisher as captain. Only a brief light shower during the round and a the usual good meal to follow. 

Tuesday 3rd August Result

Alan Proud won't sleep tonight having scored 47 points  in today's benign conditions and winning the Carrick Trophy. Unfortunately I can only touch him for two shots. Joe Penrice continued his winning streak with a very creditable 41 points and a one shot penalty.

This Thursday  is our home match against Carlisle and Tuesday 10th at home against Penrith. Non team members wishing to play on those days will need to book their own tee times.
