Wednesday was a horrendous day with the rain bucketing down but that didn’t stop the Curtin Boys from enjoying themselves. Its taking Pitch and Putt to a new level and including it as a water sport, however both PJ and John Curtin worked well together and took the Nett from Billy Fitton and John Ahern but Billy and John did enough to win the gross. Saturday saw a nice turnout even though it was bitterly cold, Pat Moore was inspecting the hidden parts of the course for Frank while he was chasing down the little white ball that was going in the opposite direction to where he wanted it to go. The cold didn’t interfere with Dan Shine and John Curtin’s game as they came in with 50 points to take the Nett from Tim Linehan and Mary O’Donovan on the back nine while PJ Curtin took the Gross with Margaret Bowen with 7 under, There were a number of 7 unders but PJ and Margaret had 6 on the back nine and it was enough to put them in the winners. enclosure. Val O’Leary played very well when she anchored Bart Millard and Pat Moore on Sunday Morning but a four on the last hole with eight under was the difference between winning and also ran. .John Ahern was all on his own for the Monthly Hole in One Competition up to Sunday afternoon but PJ slipped one in and looks like it will be a 50-50 split. P J is now playing off +3 but no doubt he will be back in the winners list before the end of the competition. Since the debate on the pink tees there now seems to be quite a number of players using them and apparently they can be purchased in American Golf. The afternoon fourball is moving to the earlier time of 2.30 and its Bogey next weekend. There is a Ladies Committee meeting after the Sunday Fourball and I heard on the grapevine that Catherine has purchased a “To Do Workbook” for the coming year.
Cards continue on Tuesday nights with the Jackpot for 12 games with a minimum of 7 playing tables (cut table doesn’t count) in the Members Bar.
