Lady Captain Mary’s Open Day

We had another very successful Lady Captain’s Open Day on Wednesday, 15th June when Lady Captain Mary Fee welcomed Club Ladies, visiting Lady Captains and Lady Golfers to C.V.G.C.

Refreshments were served in the Clubhouse on arrival giving guests and Club members an opportunity to catch up with one another and to view the beautiful prizes to be won. Prizes this year were kindly sponsored by Lady Captain Mary’s sons, Aaron and Stephen Fee, S A Fee Engineering, Tempo.

In a repeat of last year, weather conditions were wet in the morning for the Club Ladies’ groups but thankfully the afternoon brightened up and made for much more pleasant conditions. Some excellent scores were returned … but alas no-one managed a ‘hole in one’ on the third to win a lovely car – sponsored once again by Carzone Irvinestown. Lady Captain Mary extended her thanks to Gerry MacNamee for his continued support and generosity.

The day was rounded off with a finger buffet in the Clubhouse followed by the Prize Giving. In her speech Lady Captain Mary thanked Raymond & Violet for the fantastic condition of the course; Linda, Nadine and the Clubhouse staff for the delicious food served throughout the day; her sons for their sponsorship of the prizes; Victor for his dedicated help on the day and of course all the Lady Golfers who came along and made the day so enjoyable.

Lady Captain Mary received some beautiful flowers, cards and gifts on her special day. In lieu of gifts she asked that donations be given instead to I.C.U ward Craigavon Area Hospital.

Malachy wins by a “coat of paint”!!

Lady Captain Mary Fee’s Invite to Gents Stableford Competition was hotly contested last weekend with some great golf resulting in a nailbiting finish. In-form Brendan McCusker,fresh from his first ever victory two weeks ago, graced the hallowed turf as he did in his football days and carded a great round of 6 under par 42pts. After a great opening 5 pars in a row,Brendan found too much trouble in the back 9 and 2x double bogeys and a triple bogey were to cost the 21 handicapper dearly as he finished runner-up to eventual winner Malachy “Old Blue Eyes” Graham on count-back. Endless hours of putting practice with his ghuru and a new putter paid dividends as Malachy stroked the ball better than he strokes the paint brush! His card painted a pretty picture which included 10 pars and 2 birdies resulting in victory also with 42pts on count-back. Stan Montgomery finished a very creditable 3rd with 41pts again on count-back.

1st  Malachy Graham 42pts on count-back
