Our thanks to the local branch of Cancer Research for the hard work they put into this annual Competition and to all of the local firms/individuals who sponsored holes. There was a beautiful array of prizes for all of the competition winners, complimented by some great prizes for the raffle held during the evening’s proceedings when the musical entertainment was provided by Sharon Callaghan.
A special word of thanks to Club Members Collen Megaw and Victor Collum for their help and support.
Captain Leonard would like to remind all Club Members taking part in his Captain’s Day Competition to put their names on the Timesheet now displayed in the Clubhouse foyer.
Although the Clubhouse is currently closed for renovation works, the foyer can be accessed and the Timesheet is displayed on a noticeboard just inside the door. There is also a list for those attending the Captain’s Day meal to add their names and meal choices.
Club Members can play the Captain’s Day Competition on Friday, 8th July (all day) and on Saturday, 9th July (only up until 11.30am).
This weekend, Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd July we will hold our annual Cancer Research Competition. This is an 18 Hole Open Stableford Competition (or a 9 Hole Stableford for Seniors).
Prize Giving for this competition will be held on the Saturday evening 2nd July @ 9.00pm in the upstairs function room of the Clubhouse.
We look forward to seeing a good turn-out of players this year again to raise money and awareness for a very worthwhile cause.
Castle Hume Golf Shop were the sponsor for last weekends open stroke competition at an absolutely immaculate Clogher Valley, and it was in-form Billy Reynolds who was victorious with a brilliant 8 under par round nett 59.
Billy (affectionately known as “Horschel”) set himself up for a fantastic round with 4 straight parrs and a birdie at the 5th hole. Two more parrs and two bogeys left him 1 over gross after 9 holes and in with a great chance of taking prizemoney off Packie Duffy AGAIN!! A 2nd nine of 4 parrs and 5 bogeys was just enough to record his 4th win of the year with an 8 under parr gross 73 nett 59. Billy, having seen his handicap cut twice already this season, has been cut another two shots and will now play off 12, much to the enjoyment of Mr.Handicap Secretary and Company!! Popular “Sunday Funday Club’s” Mervyn Farrell had to settle for 2nd but won the 22-28 handicap category with a brilliant 7 under parr nett 60 and will see his handicap cut from 28 to 27. Stan Montgomery finished 3rd with a nett 61 but won the 17-21 handicap category again, and is now in Malachy’s sights!
