WHS Index

 Everyone with an email address will soon be issued with a Handicap Index effective from next week. This is not the handicap you play off (eh?) but something to reference against a chart in the window of the starter's hut for the tee you will be playing on the day.

For any sandpiper wanting to get a head start for the yellow tees the equation is:

WHS Index x 131 / 113

Example 18.2 x 131 / 113 = 21.1 (21)

Until we get to grips with this it will be very helpful if  all the cards sent to Harry have the handicap used marked against the score.

Joe will publish on our notice board October's winners together with names of those who have points to carry forward and games played since handicaps reduced (4 required to get shots back).

Thursday 29th October Draw

11.00    T Herbert, D Frith, J Parker, C Milburn

Nobody sent scores in today so the leaderboard is unchanged and with only four brave souls putting their names forward for Thursday it's not likely to change.

Next week will see a major upheaval with everyone receiving new handicaps and having to recalculate them against the yellow tee slope index for Silloth. Important that everyone clearly marks their handicap against their score.

Tuesday 27th October Draw

 Just twelve names which is the minimum required for competition purposes.

Joe will post a running total of  points with names on our notice board.

11.00 T Borthwick, J Holmes, J C Nixon

11.10 P Taylor, J Campbell, C Milburn

11.20 J Parker, D Low, I Porter

11.30 D Frith, G Fisher, J Johnson

11.40       J Cowen, T Gerbino, T Davis

On Line Car Advice

 Quote from a web site offering advice on a Citroen Nemo automatic transmission problem.

"As you can see, there is certainly different causes of not working brake on a car. We have treated the most important symptoms and signs yet there may be other trouble. No matter the reason, do not hesitate to go to a garage at the merest question. Do not put your life in peril by stinginess!"

I thought it quite touching.
