ABBEY LADIES GOLF
30 Abbey Ladies took to the fairways of Rathaspeck Manor Golf course last Saturday. Fine weather prevailed, rain stayed away. The course was in good condition considering the continuous rain we had of late. It had to be due of course to the hard work of Michael Cuddihy to keep it in good shape.
A shot gun start gave rise to shot gun shooting as great scores were returned. Finishing practically together after a shot gun start, all retreated to the club house for a social get together and refreshments. A great selection of cakes and buns were enjoyed by all, thanks to Anne O’Grady who generously made and provided the confectionary. As per usual all 30 returned cards were checked by Brigid Doyle and Paula Donoughue, thanks girls. The captain then read out the awaited scores as follows:
1st Bgt. Murphy (19) 36pts. 2nd Adeline Foxe (25) 31pts. 3rd Mary Fogarty (28) 30pts.
Category 1 Ann Banville (18) 29pts. Category 2 Sheila Chapman (24) 28pts. Category 3 Rosarii Donovan (35) 28pts. Nearest the Pin Marie McWilliams 8ft. 9ins. Nearest the Pin Maryrose Ryan 24ft. The sole birdie winner was Brigid Doyle who gained a nice sum of £ 83 euro, well done Brigid!!! Winners of green fees sponsored by Michael Cuddihy, Rathaspeck Golf course were as follows: 1 Liz Kelly, 2 Sara Kennedy Doyle, 3 Ann Sutton.
