JUNIOR NEWS

Our Summer Series came to an exciting conclusion last Sunday for our Pre Juniors. With a packed timesheet our little golfers eagerly took to the course in perfect conditions. Scoring was excellent and when the dust settled, Peter Hogan took the honours with 25 points winning on a countback from Alex Cusack. Jarlath Hurney took third from Ronan O’Donnell, all with 25 points. Best girl was Roisin Ni Raghnaigh with 20 points. This tournament was our final event in our Golfer of the Year. It was all to play for but eventually Alex Cusack was crowned our Champion Golfer for 2025. Ronan O’Donnell was runner up from Jarlath Hurney. A very fitting finale as the three lads were most consistent during the season. Our Autumn series will kick off on Sunday 7th September. Thanks to all involved, particularly the golfers and Parents/Caddies.

We had a great turnout of juniors for our weekly lessons last Saturday and thank you to Alan Thomas, Peter Mullaney, Michael Talbot and Brian Morrissey for their invaluable assistance to our Pro David Hayes. Saturday coaching will continue this Saturday at 3pm. If your child is aged 6 and over bring them along. All equipment is provided.
