Captains Drive In 2013

Captains Drive In 2013

 

A large number of members turned up for the first major event of the year on Sunday last 24th February.   Captains Melvyn Kennedy and Margaret Logue along with junior captain Kevin Maher took to the 1st tee shortly after lunch a little nervously but confident of a good strike-off.  All three enjoyed favourable drives hopefully leading to a great years’ golf ahead.  The drive-in was followed by a 3 person scramble with a shotgun start at 1.00 p.m.  Paul Whelan, Aidan McCormack and Catherine O’Driscoll took top spot with a nett 58,  2nd place was taken by James Doyle, Michael Doyle and Matty Byrne Snr with a nett score of 58.2, while 3rd place went to John Moore, Ger Hickey and Liam O’Dwyer.  An enjoyable social evening took place after the golf.
