GOLF SOCIETY

Jacobs Well Golf Society enjoyed the 4th outing of 2018 at the beautiful sun drenched Macreddin Golf Club on Saturday June 23. The course was in excellent condition thanks to the committee and staff for their hospitality.

As usual the standard of golf was of the highest level which was evident by the high scores posted on the day.

Category 1 winner was Cormac Redmond with 36 points, category 2 winner Artie Byrne with an excellent 44 points, front nine James Byrne 18 points, back nine Sean Carroll with 19 points. Nearest the pins par 3s Alex Sheehan, Cormac Redmond, Daniel Redmond and Harry Connell, the longest drive was won by Sean Carroll and the visitors prize went to Daniel Redmond.

Thanks again to Mick Leonard for his usual efficiency in organising the event, and Alex Sheehan for compiling the results.

THURSDAY WALKS

Last week took 33 walkers to the heights of Croghanmoira with its fantastic views. This was a slightly different circuit than usual and was ably led by guest leader Irene Langrell who had laid out the new route. Thanks Irene. If anyone else feels they would like to take on and lead a walk with which they are comfortable please speak to Ann or Fergus.

This week takes us to Kirikee from Shay Eliott. Meeting as usual in Parnell Memorial Park Rathdrum at 7 p.m. and Glenmalure Lodge at 7.15 to travel to the start.
