Next Away Day

Away day will be at Herons Reach Blackpool, Saturday 22nd May Tee off 13:30hrs

Seascale Friday 5th March 2010. (Medal).

A very nice day here on the links at seascale, and there was some very nice golf played also to compliment the day.

Stephen Seeds came out tops with a fantastic score, a gross 78 nett 73, Chris 'Bully Boy' Brannon was 2nd with a gross 89 nett 75.

Chris Kelly also had a very good knock but a 6 on the final hole cost Chris 2nd place, he finished with a gross 81 nett 76.

Seedsy says he wants to dedicate his first win of the season too his two new clubs, his R-9 driver and R-9 3 wood, without these clubs this victory wouldn't have been possible, I knew 'Bully Boy' had played well so I had to pull out all the stops, I thought I'd blown it carding two 7's on the 2nd and 16th which are two easy holes, but I managed 3 birdies to balance it out, and after knock like that I think I deserved the win!

1st. Stephen Seeds. Gross 78. Nett 73. New H/Cap 2.7.

2nd. Chris Brannon Gross 89. Nett 75. New H/Cap 12.8

NO TWO'S

Next comp to be decided, our wonderful captain will email you with the next venue!

Silloth 5th Feb 2010

Good day for golf today, 12 members turned up for a Stableford competition.

When Jimmy 'Clicko' McClean delivered the cards and commented on Hargies round, saying 'he played out of his skin today' and 'he couldn't put a foot wrong' and after a bit of a crack, his last words were 'phone me with the result' and I wondered why.

Well it turned out they both had a good round because they both finished with 33pts, Clicko winning on a card play-off with a better back 9. Only one birdie two today and it was some two, Cliffy Bragg fired his second shot on the 1st straight in the hole, great shot Cliff.

And no I didn't phone Jimmy..

1st: J McClean 33 points

2nd:N Colquhoun 33 points

Two's. C Bragg on the 1st hole.

Next comp to be decided, Captain John will email all concerned.

Friday 11th December

Another good turn out, 16 members played at St Bees the lads played 3 clubs and a putter and it was MEDAL format.

It was a dry day but a very wet course, St Bees being a links course really suited the winner and second place because they both play on links courses, and these two know links golf, in 2nd place and member of St Bees it was Bobby Batey with a gross 97 nett 70 a good round Bobby but not quite good enough, in first place and stunning round of golf, it was Joe ' The Two' Green with gross 83 nett 65, Joe a member of Seascale said later on that "it was a good job it was wet other wise I was looking at going round in scratch today, and I'm hoping to keep this form going for the rest of the season so look out".

Chris Kelly managed too sink a 2 on the 16th, the bonanza prize wasn't won so that will roll over to the next competition. Captain John Stewart will email you all soon and let you know where we are playing next.

1st. Joe Green. Gross 83. Nett 65. New Handicap 15.4.

2nd Bobby Batey. Gross 97. Nett 70. New Handicap 25.5.

Chris Kelly. Birdie 2 on the 16th.

Friday 13th November

This was a MEDAL competition at BRAMPTON and there was another great turn out and the weather was SUPERB.

Nineteen in all turned up, and there was some very good scores, none better than Cliffy Bragg playing off 17 he came in with a gross 83 nett 66, Cliff did comment early on that it was playing short and would have relished more of a challenge, anyhow Cliff happy new handicap, theres one thing it will be a challenge playing off 12.

Eddie Gardner is the man in form, Eddie won at Ulverston and came 2nd today with gross 86 nett 69, eddie loses 4 shots today, that's 6 in total over two competitions.

Those clubs of Eddies must be something special, every time we stopped for a toilet break on the way back Eddie tooks his clubs with him, whats all that about?

Clicko gets a mention again, when we stopped for our first toilet break on the way back, Clicko thinking he's a bit of a athlete jumped off the bus and ended up in a swamp, what a laugh the mud went right over his chalky white ankles, he said ' Joan won't be happy, she spent all day yesterday polishing these shoes for me' and he to cap it all he was disqualified for signing a in completed score card, aye he had a good day!

Neal Underwood knocked a extra long putt in on the short par 3 14th, to claim the £12 prize.

1st. C Bragg Gross 83 Nett 66. New Handicap 11.6, 5 shot reduction.

2nd E Garner Gross 86 Nett 69. New Handicap 13, 4 shot reduction.

2 Non returns & a disqualified card.

16 turned out here today at a sun drenched Ulverston, and there was some competitive golf played by the in coming captain John Stewart and the new secretary Eddie Garner.

Jimmy 'Clicko' Mclean knocked in a 95 foot putt for a birdie 2 on the 10th hole to claim the bonanza prize of £48, when Clicko finished his round the putt was 25 foot, and few pints later and by the time the lads were getting off the bus it had grew to 95 foot, know what I mean???

One of his playing partners commented 'if it hadn't have hit the back of the cup, it would have ended up in the estuary'.

There were two other 2's both on the 5th hole by David 'Mac' Mckenzie and Bob 'Superman' Mcfarlane.

1st. E Garner 34 points. New H/Cap 17.
