Both Captains spoke of how delighted they were with the turnout, the fabulous condition of the course and the gorgeous weather which helped!!

We had a great turnout last week for our scramble in lovely sunny weather and the course in magnificent condition! We played our usual 10 hole scramble with a twist as we decided to play it off scratch and one drive per person.
It was great fun and enjoyed by everyone and as always Anne had some beautiful prizes, which she secured during her travels!!
The lucky winners were: Mairead Curran, Mary French and Mary Dunbar with a score of 41
We are open for new members if you would like to join our group managed by Anne who organises our golf and social calendar of events on the days when we can’t play golf!!
The input and suggestions from members of the group for our outings so far have proved to be very successful and greatly appreciated. We had some fantastic days out last year and intend to do more for 2025. Please join us for a relaxed 10 holes of golf and plenty of discussion, fun and laughter!! All are welcome.
