Carlisle Match Result

Persistent  heavy rain made today's golf a miserable experience especially as Carlisle claimed most of the abandoned games leaving us with a 1.5 - 6.5 loss.

Tomorrow will mainly be spent drying out equipment ready for our away day's outing to Woll GC on Wednesday.

Thursday 12th May

Thirty took part today and once again it was a battle against the west wind. Martin Fouracre continued his winning streak with 35 points (29 - 27) just beating second placed Peter Taylor (10 - 9) on the back nine.

Five players have got shots back so please check handicaps on Tuesday.

Monday is our away match against Carlisle and a reminder from Joe that those on our away day at Woll GC should arrive by 10.00am for refreshments and the draw. First tee time is 11.00am. The yellow tee slope rating is 125.

Sowerby Trophy Result

A low centre of gravity was an advantage in today's howling west wind with only five of the twenty one entries equal to or better than 30 points. Gilmour McKellar's 34 (15 - 13) was enough to win and David Low second with 31 (15 - 14). Jim Shaw, Eddie Varah and Harry Wright all got shots back.

Thursday 5th May

Hard to believe that out of twenty seven players David Low's 34 points (17 - 15) was  good enough to win in conditions that weren't too difficult. Peter Taylor's best back nine of several 33 points (11 - 10) won him second place.

Next Tuesday we play for the Sowerby Memorial Trophy with entries via the touch screen.

Handicap Adjustments

I've just updated the results sheet and found that from the Club's handicap indexes that thirteen of our members have had their yellow tee stoke allowances adjusted by one or more shots. Please check on Thursday so we don't have any cock ups with cards for Gilmour's aggregate competition.

John Todd Shield Result

Surprisingly, considering the flat calm conditions today only four players scored more than thirty six points. Arthur Thompson won the shield with 39 points (31 - 29) and Joe Holmes second with 38 (18 - 17).

Due to lack of interest Brian Taylor is contacting Penrith seniors to inform them we will not be sending a team for their inter club competition.
