DUNDALK LADIES
LADY President Marie’s Prize, an 18-hole stroke GoY, was held on August 7th.
This is the second most prestigious Golfer of the Year Competition of the golfing calendar. The course is playing longer and the ladies adapted well to the change in playing conditions.
Pauline Campbell played very steady golf, coming in with a 70 nett, followed very closely by Catherine Mullins who also had a 70 nett.
Catherine spoke of her delight at winning and thanked Lady President Marie for the wonderful prizes. Catherine played great golf and was delighted to be in the winning enclosure. Pauline was also thrilled to be in the winning enclosure because it was her first time to win a major since joining Dundalk Golf Club.
She thanked Lady President Marie for her beautiful prizes and the hard work she does within the club particularly supporting the ladies in the team events. Mia Quinn won the Gross prize with an 84nett. Congratulations to all the winners.
At the presentation evening Lady President Marie spoke about the wonderful year she is having and what an honour it is to be Lady President.
In attendance were Lady President Marie’s family, Lady Captain Pat, Lady Vice Captain Criona, Captain Gerry, President Gerry and guests. Lady President Marie said how delighted she is to be in a position to support teams and to go with them to play in matches.
Marie thanked the ladies for their support and thanked Lady Captain Pat for her continued support and good humour. She also had a huge thank you for the bar, catering and greens staff for all their hard work. Lady President Marie is a great ambassador for Dundalk Golf and we wish her the best for the rest of the golfing season.
