Captain’s Prize Weekend
Our Captain’s Prize was played over the Bank Holiday weekend in very mixed weather conditions, ranging from hurricane to monsoon in a matter of 24 hours. However, this did not deter the ladies and gents who braved the elements with some magical scores all round, it was indeed a true test of golf and the low handicappers came to the fore in both sectors. We had an exciting finish between Karen Darcy and Mairead Ryan, with Karen playing off 19 taking the honours for the second time with a fabulous score of 144, well done Karen on super golf over the 2 days!!
Congratulations to Brian O’Connor who took the honours in the men’s Captain’s Prize having ended up in a three way tie with John White and Michael Kavanagh with a great score of 145 each!! Congratulations and well done to Ruth and Pat for a great week-end!
Irish National Fourball sponsored by Revive Active
Wishing our ladies the very best of luck on Monday 10th June when they take on Dungarvan in this tournament and also to the ladies taking part in the Mixed managed by Rosie Murphy and Ger Bagge which starts next week 15/16th June – Good Luck to all!!
