Saturday saw a nice even crowd which allowed another opportunity for a V-Par Stroke Competition as it went down the previous week. Some very good combinations and in comparison to a standard stroke competition the handicap adjustment offers a more fairer competition. Saying that it still resulted in two high handicappers taking the overall nett…

On Wednesday Mary O’Donovan’s Birdie on the 16th was the difference between the nett winner on Wednesday last with Mary shooting 37.5 with PJ Curtin while John Curtin came in with 38.5 in the same fourball with PJ anchoring.

Sunday was misty and mucky with reduced numbers but Sunday…

Lakewood Week 7 of the Christmas Competitions held a lot of promises most from Met Eireann predicting rain but apart from a few short showers on Saturday it was warm, sunny, and idyllic in Lakewood. The biggest crowd so far this year turned out on Sunday morning all intent on getting their hands on a…

Wednesday was one of the best days weatherwise in November and true to form a good crowd showed up to test their skills against the course. The playing was very tough with the holes changed but Frank Riordan and Noel McCarthy with 6 under, took the nett scoring a very respectable 38.5  while PJ Curtin…
