Winter Sweep Saturday 14th February
After a delay due to heavy overnight frost, we opened at 11.30am
There were nine holes in play and scores were very tight. In the end, Ger Egan from Bansha, came out on top with a fine round of three over par, 22 points. He was closely followed by a group of three players on 21 points, with men's club PRO Gerry Kelly winning second place on a countback. Even though conditions were very cold, thirty-six members braved the elements and were delighted to get a game in. Many thanks to Greenkeeper Eddie Ryan and his staff for having the course in such great order, despite a prolonged spell of wet weather.

 

Winter Sweep : Sat 14th February
1st Gerard Egan (7) 22 pts
2nd Gerry Kelly (6) 21 pts B6

 

Winter Scramble Sunday 15th February
We have organised the timesheet into three balls for a few weeks to help with protecting the course. Last Sunday was the first occasion that we had to put this plan into place, where instead of singles, we had a three-person scramble to keep the traffic on the fairways. This worked out really well considering all the overnight rain. Much to the delight of our members, we opened on Sunday morning. While the morning started wet and showery, it brightened up to a lovely day. Thanks to all of the people who played and kept to the footpaths and fairways. This unique way of having golf available to members worked great. The three balls on the timesheet will remain for another few weeks and if necessary, we will play a scramble when similar wet conditions prevail.
Twenty two teams went out in the scramble where the scoring was very tight.
Finishing on top by a point was the combination of Kilfinane's Vinny Herbert and James O Doherty together with local Bansha man Paddy Crowe on a fine score of three under par for 11 holes. Close up in second place was the Grantstown, father and son combination of Sean and Thomas Crosse together with recent winner Tom O Donnell from Golden.
