THOMAS "FROSTY" MAHER

The Cunnigar Pitch and Putt Club would like to send their deepest sympathy to the Maher family on the untimely death of Thomas.

"Frosty" as he was affectionately known was involved with the club for almost 25 years.

He loved to go down to the club early and play 2 rounds then take out machines and work away on the course.

He was the most knowledgeable of men, whether  it was the rules of the game, green keeping, sprays or any questions about pitch and putt, Frosty was the man we all went to for the answer.

He didn't say much but when he did you would listen and learn a lot.

Frosty was a hard worker and great club member.

He was a true gentleman who will be sadly missed and was a pleasure to have known.

Rest in peace 

"Frosty"

Bonus Number

Last weeks winner of the bonus number was Paddy Noonan with number 17.

We would like to congratulate Paddy and Maddie on their wedding day last Friday and wish them all the best for the future.

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.

Do not use club heads to repair a pitch mark as this damages the green. Always use a pitch repairer. 

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.
