Played in the Sunday comp & finished 2nd.  Messers Shaw & Scott (handicap committee) got out their knives again and cut me down to 15 (15.4).  I can only say I am having a great time on the course at the moment. 
The Comp was a Qualifier for the Heatherington Cup.  I think the top 3 or 4 from 4 Q rounds, qualify for the final. It is a Par format (bogey), + for birdie, 0 for par, - for bogey.  I finished with +4.  My two companions returned -2 & -3.  The weather was fine with an Easterly breeze off the sea.

On New Years Eve, we played at Silloth on Solway (just along the coast from Maryport), it is the venue used as a qualifier for the OPEN.  I was delighted to finish 3 shots better than my H/Cap & pick up a prize for having the best back 9.  I missed only 2 Fairways over the 18. The day was cold, not much breeze tho.

I can honestly say I try to improve my game and am not one of those players who protect their H/Cap.  My game has improved lately as I have become more consistant through out.  I am still on the look out for a set of Mizuno MP60's, they would bring me down to singles I'm sure.
