Brampton Match

Both match secretaries decided in the interests of safety it was better to deter people from driving in atrocious conditions and fortunately we were able to contact most of our team to prevent an unnecessary trip. The match will be rearranged for some future date. Watching the weather from the clubhouse at 11.00am reinforced the sensible decision. Next Tuesday is the Walters Greensomes competition.

Tuesday 12th June

Bright and breezy conditions for today's Norton Cup and the sixteen who played. David Low came second with 42 points and myself first with 45. The rock hard fairways were worth an extra 50yds run for anyone who could hit them.
Welcome to Tony Sher who joined last Tuesday.
Thursday is our match against Brampton and the forecast isn't too promising.

Tuesday 29th May

First of all thanks to Bob Finlinson for withdrawing to leave eighteen to be drawn as pairs for the rearranged John Cooper Trophy. Still a strong wind from the east but only four points separated the top six scores, Lynn Hopkins (34) and Tony Davis (35) combining to beat a very creditable effort by David Low and Alan Proud by one point.

John Cooper Trophy

Just a reminder that this rearranged competition will be held on Tuesday 29th.
The format will be a drawn pairs with combining stableford scores played off full club handicaps. Individual scores will qualify for handicap adjustments

Carlisle Match Result

Two halves, two losses and four wins was a welcome result for the Sandpipers under the leadership of Tony Davis. Having found it difficult to come out on top at Carlisle in the past, today was a real bonus with a four match win over the two legs.
