Inter Club Competiton

On Saturday last our Inter- club team played Bagnelstown of Carlow in the Inter-club competiton.  this round was held in Tramore pitch and putt club.

It was a great day for pitch and putt, but alas we came out the wrong end, it is a game we should have won with a bit of luck.

After the doubles we were up 2 to 1  with Paddy Noonan and John Charles winning their doubles and also Finbarr O'Rourke and Paul Riordan winning theirs. 

In the singles Declan Byrne won his game and Patsy Hackett halved his game .

So the final score was 

Bagnelstown 5 and half 

Cunnigar 3 and half

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 (4), Liam Simms(3),Paddy Noonan (2) ,  Michael Ahearne, Declan Byrne each have one each.

Breda O'Donnell (3) and Jacinta O'Mahoney (3) Bridget Walsh(2), Cait Mulcahy and  Mary O'Neill now has a hole in one for the womens section.

Bonus Number

Bonus number 22 the  winner this week  was Mary Crotty.

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.

All club members who are playing with non members must collect green fees from them if the club house is not manned.
