On the podium this week: With the inclement weather, the course was closed on Wednesday. So with the rain abated, the golf course opened on Sunday 16th November, a 13 hole Stableford, with 27 points, Josie Finnan brings the turkey to Galbally, with Joanne Horgan in second place as she'd already won the turkey previously, and Josephine O'Donnell again playing a blinder this week, hot on Joanne's heels for the cranberry sauce after her win last week.
Well done again to all the ladies who brave the weather, they've been lodging healthy points towards their teams for the winter league and getting those steps in. The golf course is in super condition considering the rain that fell all week.
As always, if you have a society or a group you want to book in to play golf at Tipperary Golf Club for 2026 do make sure you call the pro shop and get your spaces booked good and early. Phone the pro shop on 062-51119.
In the meantime, Trish & Rickie are still serving amazing food in the clubhouse and it serves as a great spot to thaw out after all that fresh air.
Happy golfing..
2025 Roundup Vol. 1 The All Ireland Junior Cup Champions
In an historic triumph for Tipperary Golf Club, the women’s Junior Cup team were crowned the 2025 All-Ireland Junior Cup Champions after a stunning run that began in June and culminated in a thrilling national final win over Portstewart.
The journey began on 22 June, when the Tipperary ladies teed off their campaign in the Munster East Junior Cup, facing off against Tramore away in the first round. Displaying resilience and composure, they secured a solid 4-1 win to set the tone for the weeks ahead.
Their momentum continued into the second round with a dominant performance over the Gold Coast at home securing a 4-1 win on the 26 July. With confidence building, they entered the Munster East Semi-Final on the 16 th August , where they faced a strong Monkstown side on their home course. In what many dubbed one of the most tactically disciplined matches of the competition, Tipperary Golf Club emerged victorious over the home team with a 4-1 win which would take them through to the final the following day again in Monkstown.
The Munster East Final against Macroom was a battle of nerves and shot-making prowess. Rising to the occasion, the Tipperary Golf Club team produced another commanding display to become Munster East Champions, earning their place among the country’s elite in the All-Ireland series with a 3.5-1.5 win bringing home a Women's Junior Cup Munster East pennant to the club that night where the club celebrated the milestone.
The All-Ireland Quarter-Final took the team north to Tandragee on 05 September, where they met Co. Armagh. Unfazed by the pressure or travel, the Tipperary ladies held firm to progress to the Semi-Final with a 3-2 win. The following morning facing difficult playing conditions for the day, the Tipperary Golf Club ladies met a determined Dundalk side.
With national glory within touching distance, the Tipperary Golf Club team displayed grit and consistency to book their place in the final with another 3-2 win.
The All-Ireland Final against Portstewart proved to be the perfect stage for Tipperary Golf Club’s crowning moment. In front of an enthusiastic crowd and under immense pressure, the team delivered a clinical and courageous performance, securing their place in history as 2025 Women’s All-Ireland Junior Cup Champions.
Captain Kathleen praised the squad's teamwork, saying: "Every single match was a battle, and every player gave it everything throughout the tournament . We’ve had an incredible summer, and I couldn’t be prouder of this team. To bring this title home to Tipperary is truly special."
Club officials, members, and supporters have lauded the achievement as one of the greatest in the club’s history. The victory not only shines a light on the depth of talent within the Tipperary women’s ranks but also reinforces the club’s growing reputation on the national stage.
On behalf of everyone involved, Kathleen and the Junior Cup panel want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all those who made this event and season so memorable.
