Mens Golf Update 20/04/11

Update Mens Golf
We had a very successful trip to Douglas last weekend with over 40 traveling. We warmed up on Friday afternoon with a round in Monkstown and the Sweep Prize was won by Aidan Foley with an excellent score of 41 points. Saturday’s competition in Fota Island was sponsored by Calor Gas. Fota was in excellent condition and we played in warm sunshine. The results of the competition were

1st Ronan Burke [11] 41points
2nd Stephen Foley [8] 39 points
3rd Jimmy O’Shea [10] 37 points
4th Jimmy O’Neill [ 20 ] 37 points

The golf played by all the prize winners was excellent with the exception of one hole as they all had one blank on their score cards.

This weekend will be very busy as a lot of our Members will be traveling from Dublin, Cork, Limerick and elsewhere and there is an Open Time Sheet in operation for the entire weekend. On Saturday and Sunday we have tan Invitational Open Four Ball competition sponsored by Cromane Seafood. Our sincerest thanks to Danny and John Arthur for their great support and generosity. Also on Saturday we have the first running of the Dooks Golf Society Challenge and the Tee is reserved from 10.30 to 2.20 for this event with 10 Societies taking part. The Presentation of Prizes for the Challenge will take place at the end of play. Finally on Monday we have a Team of 3 [any combination] Competition.

Moving on to the May Bank holiday weekend again an Open Time Sheet will be in operation for the entire weekend . On Saturday and on Sunday we have a Four Ball competition very kindly sponsored by Pat Golden. On the Monday we have another new Event and this is a Match between the Men and the Ladies The format for the Match is Four Ball Matchplay and it is hoped that at least 30 will take part on each team. If you wish to play please put your name on the Sheet which is on the Notice Board. The teams will be selected on a first come basis so if you wish to play please put your name up immediately. The tee is reserved from 12 to 2 for the Match.

A reminder to all wishing to be included in the Draw for the Club Singles and Four Ball matchplay Championships that you must have swiped in on or before the 2nd of May. If you do not swipe in then you will not be included in the Draw. We have had to insist on this as in the past people have played in the Competitions but have not paid the entry fee so you cooperation this year would be very much appreciated.

Wishing you all a very happy holiday weekend

The Mens Golf Committee
