Dear Golfers, reminder that some membership fees are still outstanding for 2025.

It was identified last year and it is still happening to date that there are people playing golf on our course without either being members or paying green fees. As a result a course monitoring group was established. Increased vigilance will be conducted over the coming weeks so please don’t be offended if you’re approached by a member of the monitoring group.

*Management Committee*

SOCIAL MIXED: Results from tonight; 1st John Fitzpatrick, Liam Daly, John Egan and Maureen Connolly 26.2;  2nd Declan Kelly, Pat O’Connell, George Murray and Mary Hayes 26.3. The winners had birdies on 11th and 16th while the runners up recorded 3’s from 14th to 18th but bogied the 10th. Back 9 was used as an experiment

Best of luck to John Stapleton (The Saint) and his team in their quest for victory in the JB Carr Diamond Trophy Tournament.  The first round is in Nenagh on Tuesday 22nd April.  Tee off approx. 1.30pm.   In 1996, Woodenbridge Golf Club inaugurated the very popular JB Carr Diamond Trophy Tournament which has since become the men’s Senior Club Championship of Ireland for over 60’s, with almost 200 clubs from across Ireland participating. Sept. 13th. 2018 was a very memorable day for Templemore as we were one of the best 4 teams in ireland to compete that day at Woodenbridge in the Avoca valley. Teams were, The K Club, Portumna, Templemore and Ballybofey & Stranolar. We defeated Ballybofey & Stranolar- Ulster,  and met with Portumna for 3rd Place.  Portumna had a narrow victory which gave us an honourable 3rd place with Tom McGrath succeeding in a Hole-In One.  The K-Club were the overall winners.  Hope to see The Saint and his gallant team once more carrying the club colours across the Woodenbridge in the amazing Avoca Vally in 2025. (Attached some Memorabilia Videos of the 2018 event with a rendition of “Slievenamon” by Tommy Foley, how could we forget)

On a day that started off in the ice box and ended up nicely re-heated Seven teams cooked up great rounds on a course in fine condition.  In 1st place with 55 points were Sean Cashman, Tommy Foley, Mick Murphy and Mick Maher. In 2nd place on Countback with 53 points Bernie O’Rourke, Pat Looby and Jim Gilmartin and 3rd also with 53 points Bertie Keane, Frankie Shortt, John Stapleton and James Murray well played gentlemen

Golf is for everyone.

Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.  Playing golf regularly can help you, stay fit, improve muscle tone and endurance,  lose weight and body fat. Join Templemore Golf Club and be active with likeminded people.  Visit Templemore Golf Club Web site for details.
