JUNIOR CAPTAINS PRIZE

We had a fantastic turnout and a full timesheet for our Junior Captains prize presented by Harry Breen & Sarah Moynihan. Considering conditions, scoring was exceptional with Mark Finnegan shooting the lights out with 45 points to take victory by 6 from Rory McKeown. Rody Morrissey secured the Gross Prize with 31 points off scratch. Well done to Harry & Sarah who have served our club with distinction during their captaincy.

Our next event is the Pennant Cup kindly sponsored again by Mr. John Lynch. The event takes place next Sunday 24^th and the timesheet is live on our website. Mark Finnegan now leads our Golfer of the Year award by one from Eoghan O’Brien but it’s all to play for with the best 3 scores from the 5 events. Thanks to Paul O’Riordan for again sponsoring the Golfer of the Year Award.

A great turnout again for our Junior coaching last Saturday. Thanks to Niamh and Alan for their invaluable assistance. Coaching continues until the end of September.

DIVOTS/PITCH MARKS

With the weather starting to turn just a reminder to replace all divots and repair pitch marks on the greens.
