A week of hard-fought but fun competitions helped mark celebrations for the 125th anniversary of Seascale Golf Club.

Events kicked off last Monday to mark the club’s milestone, with an open four-person team event attracting 25 teams from a variety of clubs to start the ball rolling.

Seascale teams took the top three places as the team of Graeme, Connor and Malcolm Campbell and Mark Lightfoot scored 125 to win.

Next came Panda Wallace, Dave Cooper, S Burrows and Jack Hunter with 117, and third with 116 came Paul Cruden, Steve Ball, Graeme Cowen and David Kelly.

Day two saw an open mixed stableford contest which was won by D Edgar, of Workington, with 42 points, followed by J Brooks (Mere) with 41 and Stuart Mulholland on 40.

Keswick’s Judy Figg took the ladies prize with 35.

A special club mixed multi tee medal competition was held on day three and to mark the anniversary trophies were awarded for the best men’s gross and nett scores and for the best ladies’ nett score.

Great weather blessed the 130 members who competed and that together with the superb condition of the course resulted in a spate of sub par scores.

Carl Pettigrew emerged as the winner of the trophy for the best gross, a round of 70, beating Floyd Hewitson with a BB9 while Stephen Sim (11/14) with his remarkable 62 claimed the best nett prize.

Salli Pilcher (17/21) with nett 67 claimed the ladies’ nett trophy.

Turning to the division results, Tom Sharpe (6/9) with the best nett 63 won Division One from Carl Pettigrew (5/7). Andy Wallace (5/8)64 took third.

In Division Two it was Stephen Sim (11/14) who led the charge with 62, he was followed by Carl Henderson (14/17)63 and Craig Durham (11/14) who had the best of six 65s.

The ladies’ division was won by Salli Pilcher (17/21)67 and in second place was Naomi Brennan (7/11)67, who also had the best gross. Sadie Cavanagh (12/16) 71 took third. The course yielded 17 twos.

In second place with an identical score but losing on countback were Don Weavers, Dave Carpenter, Paul Hodgson and J Young from Silloth (team handicap 7.375).

An open individual stableford was held on the penultimate day and early starts especially had to withstand showers and gale-force gusts.

Steve Edmonds (14)34, Paul Jones (8)33 and John Simmons (4)32, all from Swinton Park, took the first three places.

Dave Jenkinson (15)32, first out and who led for most of the day had to settle for fourth.
