Tuesday 13th March

A pleasant day for the 26 Sandpipers who turned out, even better for Grant Anderson who demonstrated the Highland Fling on the sixth tee to celebrate his "hole in one". His generosity in supplying a wee dram for his colleagues in the club house was much appreciated.
Trevor Wilson won the pot with 39 points (coming back from 4 down in our fourball) and Mike Mapleton claiming second place with 37.
Welcome back to Ejaz Malik and Malcolm Donald who have both been absent for a while.

Thursday 8th March

For the first time in ages I put a decent round together to score 39 points.
Unfortunately only 15 Sandpipers turned out so the four lost shots for winning wasn't very profitable.
Playing companion Willie Smith took second prize with 33 points, ahead of John Dixon on count back.

Tuesday 6th March

The largest turnout of the year so far (28) needed an extra couple of layers to keep out the keen wind.
Roy Williams celebrated his return from the USA with a countback win over Roger Cutts, both scoring 36 points.
Next Tuesday is the start of the "summer" season so our start time reverts to 11.00am.

Thursday 1st March

Only thirteen turned out today and although conditions were reasonable 34 points from David Barnes was enough to win and Club Captain Mike Cowen runner up with 30.

Tuesday 28th February

Poor scores are still being returned even on a reasonable day like today.
The common complaint seems to be putting and even from eighteen inches the ball isn't guaranteed to drop.
My 34 points was enough to win on countback against Brian Taylor with nineteen taking part.

Thursday 23rd February

A strong wind affected today's scores with John Gibson's 33 points enough to win and a surprised Brian Taylor coming second with 30. Eighteen of us took part.

John Kennedy

For those who haven't heard, John has relocated to Moffat and I'm sure everyone will join me in thanking John for his contribution in running the Sandpiper's (affairs) for several years and wishing him a happy and healthy retirement in his new home.
We all look forward to receiving an invitation to your house warming party John!
