30th November 2025 Ladies Notes

The Senior Ladies were out in force once again for their social golf on Monday morning, and these diamonds were very much on the fairway.

November 24th was a cold start, but the scramblers team of Brigid Shearman, Hanora Cahill Connery and Kathleen Taylor emerged to top the board. Well done to all who took part. 

Remember that the Senior ladies play their social golf on Monday mornings and everyone is welcome. 

Upcoming Events: 

Wednesday 3rd December & Sunday 7th December: Both days will be a 10 hole club day.

The winter league also continues, with the last day for submission being Sunday 7th December.

There will be a presentation of prizes on the 17th of December in the clubhouse, where we will have our Christmas party night, with both a putting competition and the annual Christmas jumper competition.. 

The ladies held a coffee morning for St. Vincent De Paul on Sunday 30th November and it was very well supported, thank you kindly to everyone who came along & donated, it is most certainly appreciated. 

On the podium this week: 

Wednesday 26th November 2025 - 10 Hole Stableford Turkey competition. Once more into the breach, Lady President Josie Dunne was aiming high for another voucher for the Christmas dinner, closely tailed by Josephine O'Donnell. Now with our LP Josie Dunne already with two turkeys, her 4 shot cut impacted on her chance of the top prize. Josephine O'Donnell also with a 2 shot handicap for winning a turkey earlier in the month was usurped by her sister Ann English who finally goes home with a Turkey Voucher with 23 points over 10 holes. Mary Crowe came in second place, getting the hamper with the cranberry sauce. 

Super golf played again, with the course holding up exceptionally in the challenging weather we've been having. 

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. 

2025 Roundup Vol.2 Three "Hole in One" Successes and our big Charity days

Over the course of this year, in quite close succession, we had three ladies get a hole in one.

On the 3rd June Una Bohan was playing in a Galtee Cup match against Barbara Leahy and she got her Hole in 1 on the 13th hole, when we asked how it all came about Una said "I hit a good shot that tracked towards the hole, we watched it and initially thought it had gone to the back of the green. When we couldn't find it we looked in the hole and there it was" and Una won the match on that hole. 

On the 3rd August 2025 Joanne Horgan achieved her Hole in 1 on the 5th hole. When asked to describe her shot she responded with "I actually didn’t see it go in, I was bending down to pick up the tee when Colm and Paddy O'Shea said that it looked like it’s gone into the hole. They weren’t sure so I didn’t get too excited in case they were wrong. So we started walking down to the green, we couldn’t see the ball on the green so Colm walked straight to the hole to find it." 

Kate Nicholson got her Hole in 1 on the 6th August 2025 on the 7th hole and asking her how she achieved such a masterful shot, she said "I did what I do every time I step up on that tee box, I hit and hope" and it worked for her. 

Charity Days: Every year the ladies club supports the Irish Kidney Association, and we also have our member Mary Riordan and her daughter Marian Riordan, who generously sponsor a Play in Pink Open competition each year. 

These are two massive days for the ladies club and we are really proud and appreciative of all the sponsorship and support given for these days. Between competition prizes and raffle prizes, there is always a big turn out for such amazing causes that are close to the member's hearts. 

Happy golfing
