Good turnout today with 13 players turning up for the Mid Week Sweep and what a afternoon we got for golf. Clear blue sky and some real heat in the air.

Winner today was myself with 43 points coming back level par but that was nothing compared to Billy McCartney's back 9. He had a incredible 27 points for 9 holes and still lost thanks to a poor 14 total on the front 9. Certainly a round of 2 half's.

Good to have Paul James junior joining us for a game and it's hard to believe such a polite well mannered boy is actually Vera's son.

Course was very dry underfoot thanks to the great dry spell we have had this month.

Hopefully this weather continues.

Next sweep is Friday at 1.15pm for first game getting off then.

Great views over the course today

A great afternoons weather for golf

Alex doesn't get the ball out and it became a big blob on that hole.

A WEE FRIDAY 4 BALL

FRIDAY 15TH

FEBRUARY

Smarty, Dodi and Geraldo

Brightest day for a while

Bunkers edges being trimmed

Course was very dry underfoot

4 balls on the green but only 1 was there off the tee- mine

Dodi sinks a putt for a half

The 14th and Smarty gets us in front for the first time

Myself and the boys had a good game this afternoon in nice conditions for a change. Sun was out for a while and the course was in excellent condition. It was dry underfoot which was surprising considering the snow we had a few days ago.

A good tight game with Smarty and myself struggling to peg back Geraldo and George. We finally got ahead on the 14th and it took a birdie on the 15th from me to get us 2 up. The next 2 holes were halved and the winnings went to Alex and me.

Looking forward to the Sunday Sweep as the weather is to be good all weekend.

Usual time 9-15-9.30am.

42 POINTS AND LAST

SMARTY STROLLS IN WITH 48 POINTS

Friday 8th February

Keir Course winter greens

4 players

A Smart.   48
B Newall.  45
R Chalmers. 43
B Gibson.  42

Today at Cawder our Friday game had 4 players and there was 3 points galore between us all and Billy ended up in last position with a score of 42 points. I've never played in a 4 ball with such great scoring even tho it was winter greens you have still got to get the ball in the hole.

It was winter greens and we considered jumping over to the Cawder course at the 2nd as they started putting the greens on there but we decided to continue on the Keir. It was dry underfoot and very mild for February.

A reminder to all that the Singles Championship and 2 Ball sheets are up in the clubhouse for this season.

FIRST POST FROM THE CAWDER HACKERS

CAWDER GOLF CLUB

This is the first post about a group of golfers who play golf from Cawder Golf Club Glasgow.

We met up most Saturday and Sundays between 9.15am and 9.30am.

The draw is made the bets are placed and with everyone getting their full handicap we set off to see what stableford total each can achieve by hacking our way around the course.

There are also the Wednesday and Friday games that are organised depending on who is available.
