HOSTS OF GENTS ALL IRELAND STROKEPLAY CHAMPIONSHIPS 2015

196 players from all around Ireland have qualified to play in the Gents All Ireland Strokeplay Championships which we are hosting.
This is a great boost to the town and surrounding areas as the players, family and supporters will be here for the whole weekend of the 25th and 26th July.
Top pitch and putt players come to the Cunnigar this weekend for the National Gents Strokeplay, this is the pinnacle of the pitch and putt season.
On Saturday the Juniors start the proceedings with 54 players taking part, with the top 12 qualifying for a play off on Saturday evening.
We have 3 locals in this section
Declan Byrne, Michael A'Hearne and Paul Riordan, this is Declan and Michael's first competitive year, which shows all new comers what can be achieved with a bit of practise and commitment to the game.
Then at 11.30 the Intermediate section gets under way. 
There are 60 players in this group, and again the top 12 scores will play off in the evening.
Thomas Maher and Aiden O'Rourke will represent the Cunnigar in this grade.
On Sunday morning the creme de la creme of pitch and putt players from all around Ireland will take centre stage.
This is the competition that all players strive to win.
There are 80 players in this Senior section, the top 20 will play off on Sunday evening and only after that will we know who is the best pitch and putt player in Ireland for 2015.
It promises to be a great weekend for pitch and putt and we would like to wish our own and all other players the best of luck for this momentous occasion.

There's fierce competiton already with everyone trying to get the ultimate hole in one.
To date Patsy Hackett (4), Paddy Noonan (4) , Liam Simms(3),  Michael Ahearne, Declan Byrne, Paddy Lawlor each have one each.
Breda O'Donnell (3) and Jacinta O'Mahoney (3) Bridget Walsh(2), Cait Mulcahy , Mary O'Neill and Corinne McGee now has a hole in one for the womens section.

Bonus Number

Bonus number 45 the  winner this week  was Breda Murphy.

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.
