After a blistering defeat by Tipperary over Cork in the All Ireland final the social scramble took place last Sunday evening.

PUTTING GREEN MARKERS

If you have been on the putting green practicing over the last few days you will have noticed that we have replaced the markers. This project was funded by the Sunday Social Scrambles which are organised by the Get into Golf Committee. We are indebted to our course manager Scholar who sourced the markers and to him and his ground staff for taking on the tedious task of assembling them and putting them in place.
Happy putting and hopefully it will improve your game.
