Summer Series Tuesday 28th April

The weather was great on Tuesday last and a fine crowd of 109 players turned out including 23 visitors to play a course that was in excellent condition. Sponsored by Aherlow's Quinn Perry Construction, also a club member together with our main sponsor Stargas, the Series is really taking off.

Corkman, Jim Noonan is really hitting form at the moment and had the day's best score of 40 points to narrowly defeat another man in form, Doon's David Stapleton in a countback. Conciliation for David in the fact that his score is very likely to qualify him as a leading runner up in the Grand Final on September 11th.

Category one was won by local man James Doocey in the twilight hours as the last man in, narrowly beating another Doon man, Michael P Ryan into second. A strong front nine of level par saw James prevail. Category 2 saw 3 players tied on 36 points with Galbally's Marcus Browne holing out from Peter Murphy, Newcastlewest GC and Bansha's Michael O'Brien. Peter would however have the conciliation of taking the Visitors prize of a box of PROV1s home . Another visitor, Kevin Buckley Castletroy GC, and of the Fire Brigade outing, took the category 4 prize. When contacted afterwards, Kevin kindly donated his winning voucher to the Junior section of the club. A very kind gesture from someone who has only recently taken up golf and was winning for the first time.

 

Senior Golf: Thursday 30th April

Played on a very wet day, 28 brave souls ventured out to play in our weekly seniors. As the last Thursday is always a full scramble, the scoring was very good. Only a half a point separated the top two teams. If you are 59 years young and a member of the club, why not come along on a Thursday morning at 9.30 and you will be greeted by the organising table and set up with a group for a very enjoyable few hours both on the course and in the clubhouse afterwards.

​

Result this week:

1st Place: Michael Quirke, Tom Cosgrove, Noel McGuire and Tom O'Dea 39 nett

2nd Place : Seamus Carabine, Gerry Meade, Denis McGrath and Gerry Kelly.

Summer Series Saturday 2nd May

Last Saturday turned out very wet in the morning and early afternoon, but this didn’t deter the 96 players including 13 visitors from enjoying the course and it certainly didn’t interfere with Tipperary Town's Peter Ryan from having a great round of 7 over par. Playing some excellent golf, Peter finished strong on the back nine to clear the field in style. This will safely see the winner through to the Grand Final in September 11th. Top category winner, Aherlow's, Niall O'Shea also finished very strong and is having a great spell of form. Niall has now entered the grand final standing in the winners section and the runners up section. In the second category, Tipperary towns Orrin Jones is also showing form with a great score of 41 points which ensure he will have to timetable in the Grand Final into his plans. In the final Category, Bansha man Willie Hayes reminded everyone that he is always a threat in competitions. A tidy round of 37 points was the clear winner of this category from Brian Deegan.

As we have a limited timesheet on Bank Holiday Monday 4th May, we are running the Tuesday Summer Series over 2 days, which should help people who wouldn’t normally get a chance to play midweek an opportunity to get an extra crack at qualifying. The weekly Gross winner was local man, Adam Long with a fine round of two over par. Adam will be playing a number of important matches in the club senior matchplay in the next few weeks so this augers well for his current form.

Out daily visitors prize of a box of 12 PROV1s went to Dungarvan Golf Club this time to Craig Susdorf in a countback from Castletroy Golf Clubs Eoin Merrigan.

T F Ryan Qualifiers Sunday May 3rd.

A fine turn out of 87 players on Sunday even with the clash with the Limerick/Clare hurling game. Scores were consistently high with only two players scoring level 72's getting through to the 16 player knockout stages. Top score of the day was local man, Ben Carey with a standout score of 65 nett. Former Tipp Hurler Clonoulty's Joe Hayes followed him home in second on 68 nett. Kilshane's Tommy Crowe is showing the benefits of having a bit more time to play golf in his retirement by shooting an excellent score of 69 nett. The days best gross was won by Tipperary Town's, Sean Cummins who seems to be the most consistent golfer in the club with the frequency of his wins. This event was our second stroke competition but the first off blue tees which makes all the scores more commendable.
