NEWROSSSENIORS

Availing of the present spell of good weather, 15 teams took part in our weekly outing on Thursday. This time around it was a stableford competition which most of the older brigade find hard enough.

Though conditions were still on the soft side underfoot, the greens were in immaculate order and putting on them was a sheer delight, that is if the ball could find the cup.

Tough pin placings on some of the holes meant scoring was hard to come by, but as usual one team made the running and emerged clear winners.

Dick Cuddihy (15), Willie Naddy (19), Donie Cody (23) and Jim Kehoe (25) put together an impressive 94 points to finish in the number one spot. On 85 points and in second place came Patsy Farrell (16), Frank Coughlan (16), Billy Redmond (19) and Liam Glasheen (20).

The third position was filled by Andy Ronan (15), Eamon Delaney (16), Jamesie Wallace (22) and Fr. Jim Curtis (22), registering 84 points. Nearest the pin prizes were won by Larry Shannon on the ninth hole and Tony Harford on the eleventh.

This Thursday, November 9, we revert to a champagne scramble, a format which makes the game more enjoyable for the vast majority of our members. All please note that the draw for teams is still at 9.40 a.m. sharp, and players should be there in good time.

They should remain in the clubroom for the draw and know what team they are on - no use being down in the car park and questioning and asking the first person down: ‘Do you know what team I am on?’ It’s up to the individual to find that out that by staying put in the room.
