Dear Member,

The purple patch continues. The Castle outing being the fifth in a row of rain and wind free outings in the current season. All comments following our day at the Castle were positive and not a single complaint about the tees. A fair course in great condition that everyone appeared to enjoy. Our thanks to sponsors Colm and Malachy Menton & Europcar for their generous sponsorship.

Paul Traynor romped home with five points to spare over his nearest challenger Ian Mackey who returned a very respectable 38 points. At most outings 38 points would normally clinch the winners slot. Congratulations to Ian who also scored one of those common old eagles that are now turning up with boring regularity at our outings.

The Winner Paul Traynor 43 points

There is no provision for golf only at Captains day. In the event that you are unable to attend dinner it is imperative that you inform Bryan Kenny before you depart the clubhouse following your round.

Members must have a minimum of two cards returned in the current season to compete for the Captains prize. All other prizes on the day are there for the taking. All you require is a good score!

Captain Joe O’Flaherty invites all members to join him and the committee for pre-dinner drinks in the bar at 7.00pm

The prize presentation will take place immediately following dinner.

We have engaged the services of two top class comedians to entertain you prior to retiring to the bar for music and a few pints.
