Congratulations to Paul Morrissey who was seven shots off the lead after the first round of the Captain’s Prize competition but came back in the final round on Sunday with a score of 62 nett to pip Eoin O’Sullivan and the overnight leader Diarmuid Heafey by just one shot. If Paul continues his great form he’ll be well on his way to becoming the “Player of the Year”. Paul has already won two of our Monthly Medal Competitions and is in the quarter finals of the McGarry Cup matchplay competition. Well done Paul. James O’Meara was the winner of the gross competition with scores of 72 & 70. Rowan O’Neill was the best Junior. The other prize winners were Glen Burke (4th), Pat Slattery (5th), Ray Morrissey (6) & Christopher Hickey (7th). Michael Knightly and Michael Dunlea had the best front and back nines respectively. Others to finish well but just missed out on a prize were Paul Kelleher, Mick Burke, Jack Kelly, James Dunne, Aaron Kiely and John Fitzgibbon. At the prize presentations the Captain Michael A O’Meara thanked everyone for taking part in the competition. He said the course was in great condition and everyone had great praise for Paul and his green-keeping staff for the effort they put in. He also said a special word of thanks to John McMenamin for the help he gave over the last few months in replacing course markers, course measurement etc. John also did great work in getting the new score card designed and ready for the printers.

Ladies

Congratulations to Nora Ryan, the worthy and popular winner of our Lady Captain’s Prize.  Lady Captain Pauline Lucy had a very successful day.  The weather was kind – for a change – and the course was in excellent condition.  There was a good turnout of our lady members, and many returned to the club house for the presentation of prizes, followed by a lovely buffet.  The ladies danced the night away!  Well done to all involved. Tuesday’s 18-Hole, sponsored by Heather, was won by Hilary Murphy with Geraldine Maher second.
