WEXFORDLADIES

To coincide with Captain’s day on Sunday, July 1, there was a nine-hole singles stableford competition for the ladies sponsored by the Captain, Jack Lynn.

The honours went to lady Captain Patricia Hanton (10) with 20 points, and Irene Bolger (4) was second with 19 points (back nine).

On Monday, July 2, to kick off open week, there was an open mixed fourball competition organised by the ladies’ section and sponsored by Hynes Jewellers.

This competition attracted a high number of members and visitors from Rosslare, New Ross, Enniscorthy, Bunclody, Craddockstown and Beech Park. We’d like to thank all the participants for their support.

Results: 1, Roy Sexton and Mary Hatton, 44 points; 2, Leo Connolly and Rita Doyle (Craddockstown), 44 points (back nine); 3, Brian and Martina Dempsey, 43 points (back nine); visitors’ prize, Liam Glasheen (New Ross) and Kelly Anne Farrell (Beech Park), 38 points.

With the continuing dry sunny conditions, some ladies were heard to comment that it was ‘just like playing in Spain’ on Thursday. There was a fantastic turn-out for this open 18-hole singles stableford competition sponsored by Shoe Style International.

A total of 93 ladies from nine different clubs took to the dry fairways in a high-scoring and closely-fought competition.

Results: 1, Mary Cashe (21), 39 points (back nine); 2, Maisie Purcell (16), 39 points (back nine); 3, lady Captain Trish Hanton (22), 39 points (back nine); gross, Carmel Murphy (8), 28 points; Senior, Eithne Walsh (24), 38 points.

The visitor prize went to Valerie Doyle (Rosslare, 10) with 32 points (back nine), and the nine-hole competition was won by Marie Brady (16) with 18 points.

Nearest the pin was Peggy Gleeson from Milltown with 3m 25cms. The C.S.S. was 72 (36), and the visiting clubs represented were Rosslare, Cregmoor Park, New Ross, Longford, Courtown, Enniscorthy, Tipperary and Milltown.

Well done to all participants and once again thank you for your support. Hard luck to all the ladies also on 39 points and 38 points who missed out this time, but there was plenty of handicap adjustments at the end of the day.

A special shout out to Geraldine Broaders! Although not in the prizes last week, she had a great round of golf.

Next week’s competition is an 18-hole two-person team event sponsored by Selskar Pharmacy with two scores to count on par threes, and one score on par fours and par fives.

The Monday Seniors are back next week, and a reminder that the timesheet is open for lady Captain’s day on July 22.
