A suggestion that Spring was not far away in the playing conditions today. 24 players took part in the Winter League finale. Gilmour McKellar won with 37 points, somehow managing to outplay his more talented, more experienced and far more stylish counterparts for the second time this week. Harry Wright and Terry Bunn also had 37 points but Harry claimed 2nd place on a countback.

22, warmly clad Sandpipers, played in round 8 of the Winter League. Pockets of sunshine during the round were very welcome on another cold day. The 4th hole was still N/S but this did not prevent Clark Black from scoring 38 points and taking 1st place. Some extra scrutiny confirmed that Owen Swift was second with 37 points.

Our General Play competition say 17 compete in bitter conditions. It did not rain but was a very dull cold day. Eddie Varah took the honours with 38 points beating Martin Fouracre on a countback. The 4th hole was N/S because of a forward tee in place, due to path maintenance.

A beautiful sunny day for 23 Sandpipers to compete on the links. Welcome to our new member Douglas we hope you enjoyed your first outing with the Sandpipers.
This is a correction to the previously published results, this is due to incorrectly completed score card and computer entry error. Winner Bob Fletton 37 pts, runner up Joe Holmes 35 pts, these are points from computer result not cards. The Thursday League reflects the corrected results. Congrats guys.
