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.

GUI Handicap Awareness Month;  The Golfing Union of Ireland and Irish Ladies Golf Union are spearheading the campaign for fair and consistent handicapping by tackling the cheats in an innovative Handicap Awareness Month. Throughout the month of March, the Unions will be running “TheFairWay” campaign, which will educate players and clubs alike. Handicapping is a fundamental aspect of the game and as the governing bodies for golf in Ireland, the GUI and ILGU are raising awareness in response to public concerns about handicap cheating.  Unlike most sports, golf is largely played in the absence of a referee. The game, and the handicapping system, rely on the integrity of the individual. It is up to every single player to observe the spirit and intent of the handicapping system.  Throughout the month-long campaign, the Unions will provide all the information necessary to be handicap aware in 2017. Your first port of call is a dedicated website: www.thefairway.ie There, clubs can access essential information, including a how-to guide for administering and maintaining handicaps.  “The average Handicap for Men in Ireland is 16.5.!!!!”

GUI Handicap Awareness Month;  The Golfing Union of Ireland and Irish Ladies Golf Union are spearheading the campaign for fair and consistent handicapping by tackling the cheats in an innovative Handicap Awareness Month. Throughout the month of March, the Unions will be running “TheFairWay” campaign, which will educate players and clubs alike. Handicapping is a fundamental aspect of the game and as the governing bodies for golf in Ireland, the GUI and ILGU are raising awareness in response to public concerns about handicap cheating.  Unlike most sports, golf is largely played in the absence of a referee. The game, and the handicapping system, rely on the integrity of the individual. It is up to every single player to observe the spirit and intent of the handicapping system.  Throughout the month-long campaign, the Unions will provide all the information necessary to be handicap aware in 2017. Your first port of call is a dedicated website: www.thefairway.ie There, clubs can access essential information, including a how-to guide for administering and maintaining handicaps.  “The average Handicap for Men in Ireland is 16.5.!!!!”
