Saturday saw a lovely turnout to mark the end of the Ladies Captaincy. Fair play to the Ladies Committee who arranged a Soiree that was fit for a Queen with a selection of sandwiches, finger food, fancy cakes and of course some lovely vino for the diehards. Tributes were paid to Eileen who had a tough year at the helm looking after the club in this troubled time. The usual suspects were in the running for the ladies fourball with Deirdre O’Sullivan and Gretchen Ahern taking the nett on the back nine while Sheila O’Leary and Valerie O’Leary t6ook the gross. However, Eileen made sure that everyone went home with something.
The Saturday Fourball turned into a three ball as the numbers worked out to suit which saw Rick O’Mahony and PJ Curtin escorting Alison Harvey into the Winners Enclosure while Pat O’Keeffe and Billy Fitton waltzed Sheila O’Leary in to take the gross. Rumour had it that Alison and Sheila were in charge of topping up the wine glasses but there was nothing substantive to back it up.
Sunday Morning saw the Girl Power of Valerie O’Leary and Mary O’Donovan gelling to take the nett with 8 under and 35 nett with Val shooting 6 while Mary contributed with 2. John Dineen and Rick O’Mahony took the gross with 8 under with Rick scoring a hole in one on the second. JP was seen on the course at 6.30 getting in some needed practice which paid off as he was in the prize-winners with Pat Conway with a score of 40 nett.
Sunday afternoon Gentleman John was blessed with the partnering of Deirdre O’Sullivan taking the nett with 38 nett while John Dineen was back for the gross with Bart Millard with 6 under
