BOYLE

THIS weekend saw round 3 of the Spring League take place ( round 2 has been postponed til the weekend of March 3rd and 4th due to the inclement weather conditions of last week). The leaders after round 1, Moira Egan, Vincent Egan and Brendan Gaffney continue to be the pacesetters with an aggregate score of 119. Charlie O’Donnell, Ted Hester and Michael Rush are a close second on 122.5 , with the last podium place currently occupied by Willie Tiernan, Tommy King and Jim Callery. THIS week saw a meeting take place in the Clubhouse to discuss some proposed changes in the layout of the course. There were no objections and the club has already initiated some of the changes, starting with new out of bounds areas behind the 1st green and to the right of the 6th fairway, and the widening of the “spinney” water hazard to the right of the 2nd fairway. The other changes will be seen over the next few months and include open drains in front of the 5th and 9th greens, trees between the 2nd and 4th fairways and introducing areas of rough around some tee-boxes. Other work planned this year includes the finishing of the recently constructed chipping practice area by installing drains and preparing the surface of the green. A practice driving net will also be installed beside this green.

THE club has arranged a social golf outing to St Margaret’s Golf and Country Club in Co Dublin on Saturday the 14th of April. Boyle member Gary Carty works in St Margaret’s and has obtained a great deal for us for 18 holes of golf followed by a 2 course meal for 40 euro. All members are invited. NEXT weekend sees the official launch of the golfing year with the Captains’ Drive-In. The draw takes place at 12.45 pm with tee-off at 1. The bar will be open and food will be available.

STRANDHILL

THE Captain’s Drive In was held in Strandhill Golf Club on Saturday 17th February followed by a Social Scramble. The sun shone for Lady Captain Marian Quinn and Gent’s Captain Hugh Gallagher and a fantastic turnout of 27 four person members teams witnessed the tee off and competed in the scramble. Afterwards the members adjourned to the Bar for the prize giving and were treated to mulled wine and good food to complete a wonderful day for the club. THE final of the Men’s Winter League took place on Sunday in very challenging conditions with wind and rain throughout the day which put a damper on the competition however the experience of previous winter league wins saw Gerry Kilbride and Patsy Gallagher victorious with a fantastic score of 12 up in the difficult conditions. ALL competitors had hot food waiting for them in the bar and the difficult conditions were soon forgotten. Captain Hugh welcomed everyone and especially the Henry Family who are our very loyal sponsors of the winter league, Strandhill Lodge and Suites provided a fantastic array of prizes on the day and David McCoy presented the prizes on behalf of the Henry Family, Hugh thanked them for their continuing sponsorship and their commitment to Strandhill Golf Club.
