This weekend’s Competition is for the Jim Robertson Rosebowl, a perpetual trophy with the competition open to all Club Members – Ladies & Gents.
The high winds and heavy rain have passed over and relatively good conditions are forecast for the rest of the weekend.
We hope to see a good turnout of members for this competition.
Our Monthly Prize Giving Evening has been arranged for Friday, 10th October 2014.
This will be quite a busy evening with Prizes being awarded for our Club Singles, Doubles, Mixed Doubles, etc.
If you have been notified that you have a prize to receive we hope you will do your very best to be there on the night. However, if you cannot attend please appoint someone else in your place and let Capt Billy or any of the Committee know in advance.
Unfortunately the Cancer Connect Golf Competition for this weekend has been postponed – details of when this is rescheduled will be posted in due course.

Alas, it was not to be and the Conway Cup remains with 2013 holders Strabane Golf Club for another year.
Our hearty congratulations to the Strabane Team on their win and our thanks to everyone at Strabane G.C. for the great hospitality shown to all the Clogher Valley G.C. players and supporters yesterday.
It was a nail biting final with both teams at 16 all at the end of play. However, Strabane G.C. retained the title with a two hole lead on countback.
Although disappointed with the final outcome, we could not be more proud of our Conway Cup Team for the sterling performance they put in throughout the competition. For Clogher Valley G.C. to have reached the final is in itself a first for our Club but to have taken an experienced and skilled team such as Strabane to a 16 : 16 score on their home course is testament to the great form of our Conway Cup Team players.
Our thanks to Team Captain Tony Fee and all the players for a superb effort …. maybe next year boys?!
Wonderful support for a very worthy charity, Diabetes UK & their Diabetes Awareness Campaign.

Results as follows:-
1st – Jack Montgomery (46 points on countback)

Front 9 – Malachy Monaghan (24 points)
Back 9 – Wesley Granlease (23 points)
Seniors – Coleen Megaw

We take this opportunity to wish Nadine Farrell ‘Bon Voyage and Good Luck’ as she heads off to sunnier climes in the U.S.A. Nadine is held in very high regard by all the C.V.G.C. Members and it was our pleasure to present her with a small token of our esteem. Don’t get too settled across the pond Nadine, we want you to come back again!!
Two of our Club Members took the opportunity to complete their [click to view video on Facebook] ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE tonight with their donation going to this weekend’s Competition Charity, ‘Diabetes Awareness’. Well done Colin Maxwell & Mervyn Spratt for braving the icy waters for such a worthy cause. A donation bucket was passed around the Clubhouse following the boys’ challenge – details of the full amount raised will be available soon.
Our August 100 Club Draw produced ball number 78, kindly drawn by Daisy Collum – and this month’s winner is none other than Club stalwart Mary Fee! Congratulations Mary! 🙂
