Members Gala Day – RESCHEDULED

 

The Members Gala Day which was cancelled last Saturday  due to bad weather has been rescheduled for Sunday 22nd December – there will be a draw for partners at 11.30 a.m. followed by a shotgun start at 12.00 p.m.  Prizegiving will take place after the golf along with presentation to Club Fourball and Matchplay winners.    All members are encouraged to attend.

 

Autumn Series Final

 

The final of the Autumn Series took place on Friday 13th December when all qualifiers were invited back for a shotgun start at 10.30 a.m.  A good days’ golf was had by all and Thomastown native Mick Bolger was delighted to take the leading honours with a fine score of 38 points.  Difficult pin positions on the day – which on occasions appeared to be moving –  motivated Mick to score back to back birdies on the 15th and 16th  –  propelling him to victory.  Tommy Bolger took the runners-up spot with 35 points just 1 ahead from John Skehan with 34 points.

2nd                Tommy Bolger (16)  Gowran Park             35 points
