June 2025 Newsletter

Those of us lucky enough to make it to County Louth GC in Baltray will agree, there is a very good reason why we go back here every year!  The course was in immaculate condition from tee to green.  This is a top class links course and we got to play it on a beautiful day.  Staff and catering did not disappoint with the usual top quality fare available before and after golf.

Generously sponsored by Mick Slein & National Lighting, the outing produced some decent scoring on a quality links course. Congratulations to Jack Guirke, taking 1st place with an excellent score of 38 points, with Brian O’Callaghan and John Lacey taking 2nd & 3rd place with a great score of 37 points. Back to back wins for Jack has him leading the POY for this year, but also earned him an extra little trim, now playing 6 shots less than the start of the year.

Well done to all prize winners, full results are as follows:
