Templemore Golf Club Captains and President Drive-In.  2026.  L.r.  President Sean Cashman, Lady Captain Michelle Hassett, Club Captain John Greed.

 

A Great Start to the 2026 Golf Season in Templemore Golf Club.

 

22/2. Today’s Men’s and Ladies Captains’ and President’s Drive-In marked the official start of the 2026 golf season at Templemore Golf Club, and what a wonderful way to begin. With ladies and gents coming together in a one-golf-for-all scramble, the day perfectly captured the spirit of friendship, inclusivity, and enjoyment that makes our club so special.

 

A Drive-In is more than just the opening tee shots of the year, it’s a celebration of new beginnings, fresh ambitions, and shared enthusiasm for the season ahead. It sets the tone for months of competition, camaraderie, and memorable moments on the fairways and greens.

We wish our Captains John Greed and Michelle Hassett and President Sean Cashman every success in their year ahead and extend best wishes to all members for a fantastic, positive, and rewarding golfing year in 2026. May it be filled with good health, great company, and plenty of enjoyable golf at Templemore Golf Club.

 

Club President Sean Cashman.  Well folks, on the day of the Captains drive- in we had a great turnout. We were blessed with the weather, the rain held off until everyone had finished! Pat Shelly had the course in great fettle considering all the rain we have had complements to Pat.

Refreshments were served in the clubhouse afterwards. The scoring was excellent considering the soft ground condition.  1st. Team place, Declan Russell, George Collins, Kay Brennan and Michael Cahill. 2nd. Team place, Ciaran Hassett, John Kiely and Bridget Kennedy.

3rd. Team Place Martin Gleeson, Mattie Stapleton,  Sean Darcy and Marian Keely.

Congrats to all the winners & well done to all who competed and the volunteers.

 

Results corner.

15/2.  The 11 Hole Stableford Competition Run between the 7th. and 15th.  February drew a good number of participants for a winter shortened course competition.
The weather during this time was ranged between cold/wet/windy and bright sun so typical for this time of year. The course held up well under the barrage it was getting and the scores reflected this. In 1st. Place with 29 points was Ted Kennedy closely followed in 2nd. Place on 28 points was Pat Looby and again not far behind was Ollie Murray with 27 points on countback from two other participants well done all.

 

Men’s Seniors.

19/2. On a day that promised little and as the skies threatened six teams gritted their teeth pulled on the wet gear and headed out. But after an initial flurry of drizzle those same skies brightened, and the morning smiled on the seniors once again, as they played their usual high standard of enjoyable golf. After all the weather fluctuation the final positions looked like this, 1st place team on countback with 60 points were Timmy Tuohy, Pat O’Connell, George Collins and Jimmy Middleton.  Second team also on 60 points were Bernie O’Rourke, Frankie Shortt, Paddy Bourke and Phil Ryan Snr., and completing the podium the 3rd. Team on 59 points were Tom Kenny, Paddy Fogarty, John Stapleton and James Murray. Well played all.
