Tuesday 28th September

Perfect playing conditions for the newly rebuilt Jim Gilfillan to win on his debut with 37 point, just edging out Alan Proud on the back nine. 24 Sandpipers turned out.
Don't forget that next Tuesday is our AGM preceded by the Brindley Salver Greensomes commencing at 9.00am. Forms for nominating officers for the ensuing year are pinned to the notice board.

Betty Campbell

Sunday 26th September.
I'm very sad to inform everyone that Joe's beloved wife Betty passed away suddenly this morning due to complications from a long term illness.
Joe tells me that he's still trying to 'get his head round what's happened' and I'm sure that together with our condolences we will respect his need for privacy through the very difficult weeks ahead.

Carlisle Match Result

Considering the torrential downpours both on the way there and going home we should consider ourselves lucky to get played at all. The rain that did fall during the match wasn't enough to deter us ruffty tuffty Sandpipers but unfortunately it seems to have affected our opponents less, as we suffered an unexpected defeat.
That concludes our match fixtures for this year, and I'm sure we all wish to thank Joe for the work he has put in during 2010.

Brits v Celts

The conversions of McWright, McBarnes, McLow and others more or less guaranteed the devious Jocks their third win. Even O'Bama could have played for them.
Never mind, there were some good tussles resulting in draws and playing conditions were fair to good.
Thursday is our return match at Carlisle so time to regroup and get stuck in

Thursday 16th September

Geoff Scott managed 36 points which was just enough to take first prize, one in front of me!
I see the Jocks have been padding out their list of players for next Tuesday's match with some very dodgy players.
How anyone born in Salterbeck can claim to be Scottish is just one example.

Thursday 9th September

It is difficult to understand why David Barnes' 33 points was sufficient to take second place from a field of 22 in reasonably favourable conditions. It makes David Low's continuing run of good form all the more impressive with a winning score of 39 points.
