On Thursday the course reopened for members at noon and we were able to play our Thursday evening social golf. The winner was Laura Hickey with 19 points. Well done Laura. Niamh Chadwick was 2nd with 18 points on count back, and Pauline Fitzgerald won the lucky dip. Our Challenge cup team consisting of Niamh Chadwick, Anne Grace, Judy Hayes, Marie Graves, Mary O’Donnell and reserve Rose Smith.
They played their first round match play in Dundrum on Saturday April 15th against Tramore. The team were very strong throughout the game and after 6 holes leaving jacks field Niamh was 4 up, Anne 2 up, Judy 2 up and was Mary level. On the 16th the team were 3 matches up and were declared the winners. Congratulations to the team on a very strong performance. A special thanks to their caddies and team managers, Kay Crosse and Pauline Tracey.
The team’s next round will be against Slievenamon in Dundrum in May. The Minor cup team were out against Faithlegg in Faithlegg on Sunday. The team of Caroline O’Dwyer, Jenny Lawrence, Colette O’Dwyer, Patricia Moran, Lady captain Jacinta Coman and reserve Flan McGlinchey. The tee off was at 12.30.
