Nothing to Report

I hope everyone has survived Christmas unscathed, I know two Sandpipers have already had their jabs and another is scheduled for the near future.

It's difficult to find interesting things to publish so to keep the blog going please forward anything legal that others may find useful.

I want one of these

All the best to everyone for the new year.

 

Road Closure

 Signs are up at Stanwix corner in Silloth saying the road will be closed for an extended period from 11th January, presumably to have another go at preventing flooding. This means that travellers from Aspatria and Maryport will have to find a route over to the Silloth / Wigton road to get to the Club.

Not Much to Report

It's good to see so many of us managing to get a game when the weather permits. Hopefully things will settle down soon after all of us that want the jab are sorted.

First Day Back

Those of us that didn't need buggies enjoyed a calm and reasonably warm and dry day. It looks as if we are beginning to form our own four balls until we get our allocated hour back. Anticipating the happy event I've prepared a sheet with all the points carried forward and our handicaps off yellow tees using current WHS indexes.

November Result

Congratulations to Gary Long and Joe Holmes who came first and second with 16.8 and 15 points respectively. Monies will be paid out when things get back to normal.

That was the good news, because for December the Sandpiper tee times have been removed and we will have to go back to the "free for all" booking tee times. This will probably mean going back to choosing our own playing partners so it won't be possible to continue our monthly draw until things return to "normal".

You will all have had the club's email explaining the situation so unfortunately we will just have to make the best of it.

New Phone App

Available from Playstore and Apple the phone app that mimics the England Golf web site has been released.

MyEG

I've had a play with it and shows your WHS Index together with all your recorded scores and other bits and pieces. The only limitation so far is it only lets you see your playing handicap in advance for English clubs. You'll need your England Golf  Lifetime ID and password to use it.

Don't download My EG (note the space) unless you need assistance to pay off debt.

More Handicaps Fun

The more we look the more discrepancies we find. By accident Joe and I have found out how to check the indexes WHS have awarded everyone although for some unknown reason IntelliGolf's database has not been fully updated. Meanwhile, back to the drawing board.
