THE club hosted its annual Putting Competition recently and in the days leading up the finals players embarked on matches to decide who would compete for the main prizes.

There were three categories - Juniors, Ladies and Men - and all entry fees for the competition were donated to charity, with the prizes kindly sponsored by Denise Walsh and Pat Farrell of Relish Cafe in Bettystown.
