The gent’s qualifier for the National Matchplay Championship 2021 is being held at the club this Saturday. Best of luck to all our entrants. The course will be closed to play and green fees from early morning until late into the evening.
WELL DONE AT CORK COUNTY STROKEPLAY
The Cork County Championship was held last weekend at Bishopstown and Ballinlough. The Club had two runner-up positions this year, J. J O’ Connor was unlucky to be beaten in a nine-hole playoff, taking runner up position in the Inter section. In the ladies’ section Ailish Sexton was runner up in the Inter Grade. Well done to all members who competed and congratulations to J.J and Ailish.
NO SUMMER LEAGUE THIS WEEKEND
The club is hosting the Gents National Qualifiers all day on Saturday so week 4 of the leagues will be deferred until next weekend 23rd, 24th and 25th July. This is a very enjoyable league with a weekly prize so please do make every effort to play for your team.

HELP NEEDED
Can you spare 45 minutes on a Saturday or Sunday morning? The greens need to be swished on weekend mornings and we need to add to the volunteers list to spread the load. Thank you to those who already volunteer and we would really appreciate added help. If you are not familiar with swishing it is an easy process and you will be shown how to do it. Swishing is absolutely vital to keep disease off our greens and keep the course in top condition.
GENTS
The gents are back playing a friendly game on Wednesday mornings at 10am. Why not come along and join in!
