Mixed weather over the weekend with rain on Saturday but the sun came out on the Sunday which brought out the crowd. Bogey was the order of the day and with people’s handicaps cut it was wide open. Saturday a small number but Paddy Dennehy and John Dineen braving the elements returned a very healthy…

An interesting weekend again with lovely clear skies on the Saturday which saw a large turnout for week 2 of the Christmas competitions and the cold wet rain on the Sunday. Some interesting pairings which on paper would seem to be clear favorites but the pairing of Colm Healy and Kevin Crowley were the best…

A large turnout on Saturday for the First of the Voucher Christmas Competitions which saw some excellent shooting and combined with the Sunday Morning and Afternoon Fourballs a total of fifty-seven played which allowed for a second nett. Frank Riordan and Gentleman John which a score of 35 nett had to settle for second nett…

A fun weekend darting in and out of the showers, a bit like jazzing hopping from Venue to Venue with the promise of a good pint, some great music and a welcoming fire but for the outdoor enthusiast hunting one of the vouchers for the Christmas competitions the Euryopia when its bagged is hard to…

Pat Conway and Michael Ryan in great form and dovetailing very well, pipped Betty White and Noel McCarthy on the last three with 53 points but Betty & Noel with 9 under, took…

The fine weather over the weekend saw the Members out in force on both days. The drop of rain has softened the greens somewhat which when pitched are likely to hold. In the same token the fairways are also softened so dropping a ball short and hoping for a run is no longer an option. Saturday…

Last Saturday saw the Club travel to the annual invite fourball to Inniscarra which saw  a mixture of very good pitch and putt and some not so good. The afternoon was lovely and sunny and the course was in magnificent shape with some new additions including the tree in front of the triangle on the 10th. With…

The St Mary’s Competition was very well supported and as in previous years saw a substantial amount raised for this long standing competition. In existence with over 40 years and initially founded and organised by Rene O’Shea and the late Jim O’Shea this competition traditionally marks the end of the singles competitions and officially the…
