Ronnie Thompson Trophy

High winds and intermittent heavy showers were no match for David Barnes' skills who recorded a very creditable nett 68, five shots clear of second placed Dave Wood.

Tuesday 3rd August

As 17 turned out for the scheduled 4BBB we just played our normal game.
The same sandpiper who went to our pro's shop to complain that his newly purchased 3 wood had cost him a fortune after his hole in one with it last week came in first with 37 points (I'm sure I don't need to say who!).
Harry Wright was runner up with 33.
Sad to report that one of our team against Maryport failed to turn up, leaving his playing partner to battle single handed, and even worse I'm told that the 4.5 - 5.5 loss might have hinged on that game.

Seascale Result

The Sandpipers extended the winning streak with a 5.5 - 2.5 win at home in blustery conditions under the captaincy of Roy Williams.
Once again we enjoyed a super meal afterwards.

J.Eilbeck Trophy

Joe Campbell won the trophy with 41 points in very favourable conditions.
Of the remaining 21 players, Dave Wood came second on countback with 37 points.

Just a brief report that from 16 who turned out, Trevor Wilson won with 37 points followed by Alan Haywood with 33.

Hole in One

Malcolm Donald knocked one in on the 6th and went on to secure a place in our championship final.
True to form, by the time he had picked the ball out of the hole he had worked out that most of the Sandpipers were at Appleby and of the six following us only three were likely to come into the bar for a free drink at his expense.
He was very generous however, and the seven people in the bar were able to toast his good fortune.
