Six of today's twenty five players got shots back but Joe Penrice's 41 points cost him five shots (29 - 24) and Terry Bunn with 39 loses three (17 - 14). 

Thursday 25th August

Twenty one players was a good turnout  today considering many of our regulars played yesterday at Penrith. John Wraight took first prize with 39 points (11 - 7) and Steve Whitehead's 38 moving his handicap south again (19 - 16).

Penrith v Sandpipers Result

A satisfying way to end the season with a 5.5 - 2.5 over Dads Army on their home turf. The course was in good condition, the weather stayed fair and a good meal to finish. 

Saunders Cup Result

Twenty six took part today in pleasant conditions. Gary Blackley came second with 38 point after a back nine count back (18 - 17) and David Low won the trophy with 39 points (12 - 10).

Please remember to return trophies asap for engraving and presentation at our AGM. 

Banks Trophy Result

The 11.00 gloom turned into a decent day made more difficult by the NE wind. Vince Ross prevailed with 39 points (6 - 4) and myself second with 37 (21 - 20), everyone playing off 95% handicap. This Thursday the course is closed for the Seniors Open with Roger, Willie and John Gibson in charge of recording all the results and whose efforts bring a tremendous benefit to the Sandpipers' coffers.

Next Tuesday is the Saunders Cup, another handicap qualifying competition.

Sandpipers v Penrith Result

A disappointing 3.5 - 4.5 defeat today but the glorious conditions made it worth turning out. Everyone sat outside afterwards and nobody seemed to miss the lack of catering. 

We had six changes to the original team selection for various reasons so it would help Joe if those who do not normally put their names forward would append their names to the sheet, indicating they would be prepared to step in as a reserve if required. 

Carrick Trophy Result

Martin Fouracre continued his winning streak with 40 points in the face of a strong west wind (25 - 23) with second placed David Low five points behind (18 - 17). Only fifteen played probably due to the poor forecast. This Thursday the course is closed for the UK Seniors Open and next Tuesday is our home match against Penrith.
