Some photos of our Sponsors and Prize Winners for May & June Competitions.
It’s good to see so many members taking part in competitions and supporting our Prize Giving Evenings. We are also hugely grateful to our generous sponsors year on year for their support – without them we couldn’t run our full fixtures list each month.
The Club presented Eugene Meehan, from the local branch of Cancer Research, with a cheque for £130. We were delighted that other members of the Cancer Research Committee were able to join us on the evening. Thanks to the generosity of Charlie Keys, who donated a bottle of brandy, a further £160 was raised on the night through the sale of raffle tickets.

Another year and still no winners for our Lady Captain’s ‘hole in one’ competition. We are greatly indebted to Gerry McNamee who very generously sponsors this fabulous prize, year after year.
So make a date in your diaries Ladies – Clogher Valley Golf Club Lady Captain’s Open Day 2018 ….. maybe it will be 5th year lucky.
(There were some dire threats of chain saws being needed on the wee dunt – so Raymond & Strokey, you had better keep a close eye!!)
This weekend’s Competition is our very popular Cancer Research Open Stableford – this year kindly supported by Firebird Heating Solutions.
(Lady Captain Hazel presenting Breda from Cancer Connect with a donation.)
In lieu of gifts, Lady Captain Hazel requested that donations be given to Cancer Connect NI. Entry fees for the ‘hole in one’ competition were also donated to this very worthwhile local charity.
Breda McGrenaghan spoke about the facilities and services Cancer Connect provides in their Enniskillen centre – see the Cancer Connect NI website for details
Lady Captain Hazel welcomed Lady Members and Visitors to Clogher Valley Golf Club for her Open Day (Wed, 14th June 2017).
The course was in superb condition thanks to the hard work put in by Raymond, Strokey & their band of helpers, dry weather was forecast and the stage was set for a very enjoyable day of golf.
Lady Members enjoyed morning refreshments in the Clubhouse before a shot-gun start. Alas, no-one managed a ‘hole in one’ on the ‘Wee Dunt’ where Gerry McNamee of CarZone, Irvinestown very generously sponsored a car for the 4th year running – we greatly appreciate Gerry’s support year after year!
Stephen & Aaron Fee (S & A Fee Engineering, Tempo) kindly sponsored our ladies prizes. Huge congratulations to all the winners and in particular to Carmel & Josie (v) who returned super scores to win the Club and Visitors’ prizes respectively.
