HOSTS OF GENTS ALL IRELAND STROKEPLAY CHAMPIONSHIPS 2015

Pubs League Sponsored by The Anchor Bar

The Semi finals and finals were played Sunday last.  It was a nail biting final as all teams were evenly matched.

After a great entry of 24 teams, we had a very exciting semi- final with Paddy Foleys A overcoming the reigning champions Anchor Bar A, to be in the final with the team from Minnies Bar, also the other semi final saw The Cove Bar being pipped at the post by Minnies Bar, with all games going down to the wire, with wives and girlfriends cheering them on.   The final 4 teams were  

in 1st place                    Paddy Foleys A

in 2nd place                  Minnies Bar 

in 3rd place                   The Anchor A

in 4th place                   The Cove Bar
We would like to say a big thank you to The Anchor Bar who sponsored this popular and very enjoyable tournament.

Hole in One

Last year we held a Hole in one competiton

 so we will continue with a prize for the most hole in ones during the club competiton season this year as it proved very popular.

There's fierce competiton already with everyone trying to get the ultimate hole in one.

To date Patsy Hackett (3), Paddy Noonan (2) Michael Ahearne, Liam Simms,  each have one each.

Breda O'Donnell (2) and Jacinta O'Mahoney (2) and Cait Mulcahy, Bridget Walshhas now has a hole in one for the womens section.

Bonus Number

Bonus number 29 the  winner this week  was Paul Healy.

Pitch Marks

Leaving Pitch Marks when playing destroys the greens, it takes a lot of care and attention to keep them in pristine condition, so all members and green fees are asked to repair them and use the correct repairer when doing so.

Also do not use the club head to take balls out of holes on greens as this damages the hole.

If anyone has an hour or two Mondays to Fridays to spare to give a hand helping on the course you would be very welcome.

Did you know?

Try to take each shot on its own and clear the mind of past mistakes or errors, it helps if you simply concentrate on looking at the ball until it has been well struck.
