Busy week ahead
LADIES
On Tuesday, 15th June the ladies 12 hole competition was a fourball champagne scramble with variety of scoring chances for par 3s, 4s and 5s. It proved to be very exciting and competitive.
Many teams were enjoying coffee and clutching cards with scores in the 80s, when the winning team of Imelda Fitzpatrick, Eleanor Cummins, Anne Fahy and Fiona Rea arrived with 91pts! Second place went to Deirdre O’Neill, Imelda Buckley, Hilary Murphy and Teresa O’Dwyer with 88 pts. Well done ladies and congratulations. We now wonder what surprise Margaret has in store for us next Tuesday!
