Wednesday saw the Club travel to Inniscarra for the annual visit, the bit of craic, the cuppa and the nice treats that the Inniscarra Ladies serve up and as an afterthought the game. Rumour has it that Dave Linehan travelled over but didn’t make it out of the clubhouse. Gentleman John was casting his eye over the course and mentally planning what changes he would like to put in place as he is severely curtailed in Lakewood. A great night was had by all and the return visit is already planned for August. Liam was especially delighted as he was the winner of the second hamper and the bottle of Jameson in the raffle for the recent Lakewood Open.
Saturday normality returned, if you could call it that with the regular fourball which saw Val O’Leary and Josie Twomey with 4 under and 39 nett taking the nett while Mick O’Leary and Pat Moore with 5 under took the gross. Another beautiful day and the course in magnificent condition, beautiful peaceful surroundings and then the silence was shattered when Eileen Murphy got a hole in one.
Sunday morning drew a large crowd including Ted Canty, back from France where the temperature was in the low forties and delighted to be out for a game and performed admirably to the delight of Catherine O’Keeffe taking second nett with 40.5 beaten on the back nine by Valerie O’Leary and PJ Curtin while Mick O’Leary took the gross with Sheila O’Leary with 48.
The Sunday night threeball saw Paddy Dennehy and Pat O’Keeffe putting in a sterling performance to make sure that the Birthday Boy J P Murphy went home with some extra cash in his back pocket. Sheila O’Leary, Mary O’Donovan and Tim Murphy took the gross with the best back nine out of three cards on 115 where three scores counted on selected holes.
