Our October ‘100 Club’ Draw took place at the Diabetic Awareness Prize Giving on Saturday, 4th November 2014.
Congratulations to October’s Winner – Victor Collum – the gentleman who meets, greets and generally keeps a tight eye on the helm at C.V.G.C.
Of course, being the generous and tireless fundraiser that he is, Victor did not hesitate to donate his £100 winnings to the Diabetic Awareness fundraising on the night! Well done Victor 🙂
At our Prize Giving Evening on Friday, 10th October 2014, the Winners of our Gents and Ladies ‘Golfer of Year’ were announced:-
Colin has played consistently well all year, upping his game to meet the challenge of his ever disappearing handicap! Many congratulations to Colin for his well deserved title.
The results were kept secret from Carmel until the night so she was both delighted and surprised by her win. Carmel showed just what she was made of in 2014, proving that she has been keeping her golfing talents under wraps in previous years. Well done Lady Captain Carmel, a worthy winner indeed.
Congratulations to Club Member Barry Megaw on winning the September 100 Club Draw which took place on Saturday night.
To be in with a chance of winning £100 please give your entry fee (£10) to Victor Collum, Billy Hunter, Maurice Coulter or Carmel Rooney before the next draw in November.
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.
Instead, we are running another of our very successful Raymond Farrell Yellow Ball Competitions – usual ‘yellow ball’ rules apply.

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?!
This weekend’s competition is the ‘Sharon Campbell Memorial’ which takes place from Friday, 5th to Sunday, 7th of September.
18 hole Open Stableford | Club Members £5, Visitors £15
Please come along to support this competition as it’s one which is very close to our hearts in the Club. Sharon was a member of our Ladies Section who sadly lost her battle with Cancer.
Fantastic prizes provided by Colin Campbell – all funds raised go to Cancer Charity.
