GEARING UP FOR THE FIRST MAJOR

INTERCLUB RESULTS LADIES INTERMEDIATE CUP
Our ladies intermediate team travelled to Fota Golf Club last Sunday, May 28th to play against Fota in the third round of the Intermediate Cup. Unfortunately it was not to be this time, even so it was a hard fought game with Fota winning 3 1.2 : 1 1.2. Congratulations to Fota and we look forward to meeting Fota again in the ladies foursomes at home in two weeks’ time. Our thanks to the team, caddies and manager for all the effort and commitment put in over the last few weeks.

CARE OF THE COURSE
Another week of beautiful weather and the course is looking its best, however we are now into the busy season and it is important to remember to replace divots
on the fairways and repair pitch marks on the greens. A gentle reminder also to rake bunkers and leave the rake in an accessible area at the edge of the bunker.
