Next Sunday is the Captains Prize and we send best wishes to Captain Padraig O’Connell for a great day. Timesheet is on the noticeboard and presentation of prizes will take place on Sunday evening at 10.00pm. No outstanding favourites but as mentioned above, expect Jonathan Egan to defend his title vigorously to also make it “two in a row”. Tom Rochford will be hoping for the double havng already won the Presidents Prize, Shane O’Dowd is due a major and Michael Rush is playing well the in the past month. Other to watch out for include Gerry Carty, John McGuinn, Tom Kearney, Terry Canning and don’t rule out past major winner Charlie O’Donnell. Although his only major was many, many years ago,Charlie is coming back into form and could be a good bet. Paddy Nangle, Martin Wynne, should also be in the shake up. Thats eleven players given the “kiss of death” so it should leave it a bit easier for the rest of us. Good luck to everyone taking part.  Please note the course will be closed from 6.00 on Saturday to prepare for Sunday.

 

Other competitions for the week are the Mens Competition on Thursday night, and Friday will be the Captains Scramble & Barbeque with draw at 6.30. Tickets are €10.00 for Scramble and Barbeque or €7.50 for barbeque only. Please put your name on noticeboard for what promises to be a great social occasion.

 

There will be a two volunteers evenings on Tuesday and Wednesday, all support appreciated. Thanks to all those who continue to volunteer to keep the course is such great condition.
