Hereโs whatโs been happening around the club, and whatโs coming up!
๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป'๐ ๐๐ฎ๐: The early morning rain didn't dampen the spirits of the large field of ladies who played for Martina Ward's Lady Captain's Prize on Saturday last. The golf course was in great condition despite the week's rain, but the wet rough caught out a number of players and proved a difficult test.
At the end of the day, when the scores were counted, only two players were under par, with Angela McCann taking the main prize ahead of Julie Lombard in second place. A large crowd attended the fabulous dinner and presentation, followed by a lively night's entertainment.
Thanks to Martina for a well-organised day that was enjoyed by a large gathering of golfers and their families. Congratulations to all of the prizewinners as follows:
