Tuesday 21st August

The best turnout of the year so far with Joe Penrice the best of thirty players, his 37 points winning the J Banks Trophy. Lynn Hopkins' better back nine of three 36s taking second place.
Unfortunately someone claims to have observed a Sandpiper inside the roped off area to the left of the sixteenth green. Please advise everyone that this is not permitted.
This Thursday the course is closed for the Seniors' Open.

Penrith Match Result

Under his first captaincy David Frith led us to 6.5 - 1.5 win. The strong breeze probably was in our favour and luckily the odd bit of drizzle didn't develop into anything worse.

Thursday 9th August

Thirteen played in fine conditions.
Roger Cutts won with 37 points, David Frith second with 36.

Tuesday 7th August

Joe Holmes won today's Carrick Trophy with 42 points making it three wins in a row and topped with a hole in one on the 9th. He generously bought everyone present a drink before finding that the club's insurance covered the cost for a qualifying competition. Lynn Hopkins' 40 points nearly got him down to a scratch handicap. Next Tuesday we play our home match against Penrith.

Tuesday 31st July

We would struggle to find a worse day to play our only medal competition. A howling wind saw fourteen of the twenty seven N/R and of the remainder three nett 75s were the best in, Joe Holmes beating Bob Finlinson on the back nine.
A sheet is on the board for the inter club team game at Penrith on the 12th September. Selection is made by an open draw.
August is very busy with something on most Tuesdays and some Thursdays.
