Cunnigar Ladies Open Results and Pictures

Pictured above are Breda O’Donnell (Cunnigar Ladies Captain), Killian Walsh (Butchers Block, Sponsors) and Bridget Broderick (Cunnigar, Overall Winner)

The Cunnigar Ladies Open, sponsored by “The Butcher’s Block”, Dungarvan Shopping Centre, took place last Sunday, July 24^th. This annual event seems to grow in popularity every year, and this year was no exception. Competitors from far and near arrived in Dungarvan to take part in this unique event. When all the scores were calculated, Bridget Broderick’s name was to the forefront and, once again, we had a local winner of this fine competition. Bridget also got a Hole-In-One during her excellent 2 rounds.

 Well done to the organisers who ensured the day went without a hitch, and to the caterers who made sure that diet sheets were left at the front door of the clubhouse.

Presidents Prize 2011: Results and Pictures

President's Prize Results- July 17th, 2011

Pictured above is Cáit Mulcahy (President of Cunnigar Pitch and Putt Club) presenting the President’s Prize to David Brophy

--------------------------------------------------------

The unprecedented number of competitors for this year’s President’s Prize held last Sunday, July 14th, reflected the esteem in which this year’s President, Cáit Mulcahy, is held. Cáit had put a great deal of effort into the preparation for her big day, and the amount of club members who participated made the effort very worthwhile.

Despite the very blustery conditions, the competition was an enormous success. The course was in superb condition and the fare in the kitchen was, once again, absolutely fantastic. Our club is lucky to have such dedicated members who, time after time, contribute so much time and effort towards making our club tournaments the successes that they are. Well done to the grounds crew, and to Sheila and all the ladies who catered for everyone.

The President’s Prize winner for 2011 was David Brophy, who carded a great score in the inclement weather conditions.

Further success for John Charles

John Charles scooped another major pitch and putt trophy last week when he won the overall top prize at the Ashgrove Open in Co. Kilkenny. This has been a tremendous competition season for John, who has already won major honours this year. He was a member of the second placed Cunnigar team at the National Scramble in Tullamore. He was part of the third placed Cunnigar team in the National Mixed Team (PJ Bell) competition. He also won recently as part of the Cunnigar team that won the Corkbeg Scramble. John only started playing pitch and putt last year, and has reaped the rewards for his hard work and effort at the game. We wish him continued success.

Another success for Cunnigar Scramble Team

Following their 2^nd place at the National Scramble Competition earlier this Summer, the team of Paddy Noonan, Paul Healy and John Charles took part in the Corkbeg Scramble in Whitegate, Cork last Saturday, July 9^th. They carded a magnificent 13 under par in their opening round which was more than enough to see off all other competitors and secure first place for this Cunnigar team. Well done lads!

PJ Bell-3rd Place

<><> <><>

The weather proved very unkind to the teams playing in the P J Bell competition at Cunnigar Pitch and Putt Club on Sunday, June 12th. The players arrived to be greeted by heavy rain and at one stage there was a 30 minute postponement to see if there would be any improvement. Despite the difficult playing conditions there were some good scores returned in the first session with St. Bridget’s A leading the field with 78 points, in second place Cunnigar (B) (John Charles, Jacinta O'Mahony, Paul Healy and Stella Kinsella) on 76 with Lakeside B  in third place on 74.  Playing conditions eased slightly in the early afternoon but were still extremely testing. Cunnigar B set the pace returning a score of 157, St. Bridget’s A were chasing hard with 120 points for the first three scores but failed to overtake Cunnigar B and ended up on 153. Initial challengers, Lakeside B, faded to a total of 140. Fermoy A  scored strongly in the second round to finish on 148. With conditions improving slightly scoring got easier and Cunnigar B went into the lead on 157.  As the competition reached its finale the scoring intensified and Cunnigar C (Paddy Noonan, Lorraine Troy, Martin Hayes and Mary O'Neill) returned a score of 158, just one shot ahead of long time leaders Cunnigar B on 157, a score matched by Fermoy B who just edged out Cunnigar B on the back 9. The gross section was won by RGSC A on 128. Well done to everyone who put in such an enormous amount of work over the past few weeks to have the course in such pristine condition. The catering on Sunday was fabulous. Well done to Sheila and her team. All in all, despite the atrocious weather, our hosting of this national competition was another organisational success for the club.  Full Details-  1st Cunnigar C - 158.  2nd Fermoy B -157 on back 9.  3rd Cunnigar B - 157 on back 9.  Gross RGSC A -128.
