INTER CLUB SENIOR FOURSOMES
Our Senior Foursomes team travelled to Muskerry on Sunday for a marathon match play event. Our girls took on Monkstown in the morning match, teeing off at 9.30am and after a riveting match and superb golf they secured a very safe win for the Gold Coast.
After lunch and a short break, our ladies again took to the fairways at 2.30pm in gale force winds and heavy sporadic showers to take on their next opponents, Douglas who had a bye for the morning match.
In spite of the inclement weather and starting a second 18 holes our ladies played spectacular golf, with the first match won on the 16th and the last going to last putt on the 18th. Congratulations and well done to our wonderful team and managers for a brilliant display of precision golf against two Cork clubs on home territory, we are very proud of you!!
Team : Katie Kiely/Karen Darcy, Irene Lynch/Sarah Moynihan, Aisling Fennell/ Roisin Quinlivan.

Thanks a mill Elaine, and all this happening on your birthday, hope you had time to celebrate- Happy Birthday!!!
GOLD COASTERS

The Moorings was booked for 1pm and a small group met for delicious food, chat and plenty of laughter. As the weather is still so unpredictable we have decided to do the Anne Valley Walk next Thursday, time and details will be posted on WhatsApp, all are welcome.
