Some fantastic scores were returned with Lorraine Bourke as leader in the Clubhouse with a 63 nett., Kathleen Maher, Sara Hearne and Shiela Delaney were following close behind with  many others in close contention and the stage was set for an exciting day on Sunday.  The weather was not as kind to us on Sunday but that didn’t hinder the efforts of our leaders, Lorraine once again played superb golf with a nett score of 60 and emerged a very popular  winner of the coveted prize. It was particularly nice as the beautiful prize was presented by her mother.  The presentation of all prizes took place in the Templemore Arms on Sunday night. With music songs and dancing, the singing talent in our club appears to be going from strength to strength whatever about the Golf !!.  The course was in excellent condition throughout the week. our thanks to the green keeper and to the great work done by our voluntary groundsmen.  Thanks also to the members who assisted in catering and preparation for the events and to Murphy’s who provided the catering on Sunday.  Our thanks to Josie and her family for all the hospitality shown to us throughout.  In conclusion, congratulations to our Captains and to all the prize winners and thank you to Josie and Martin for presenting such wonderful prizes.
