Week 2 of the Laharts Skoda Turkey Singles (15 hole) concluded on Friday November 1st. There was a strong turnout over the 7 days and scoring was very competitive. We had 2 voucher winners, both scoring 33 points and needing a countback to separate them from the field. Congratulations to Brian Prendergast & Michael Healy on their success.

Men’s Section AGM
Reminder that the AGM of the Men’s Section is scheduled for Thursday November the 7th at 7.30pm in the Clubhouse.
WHS Course Handicap (CH) Calculation
Some members may have noticed that they have a shot more over 12 holes when playing 1-3, 10-18 as opposed to playing holes 1-12. This is primarily down to the change to the CH calculation implemented earlier in the year by the WHS of adding CR minus Par to the CH formula. The best advice is to trust the computer to give you the correct amount of shots. As advised earlier in the year, the printed handicap tables at the first tee should only be used for casual golf or matchplay.
Juniors
On Friday last we wrapped up junior golf competitions for 2024 with a four person team event scramble and as usual the scoring was very hot with the eventual winners Fintan, and Gilles Kearney ably helped by Darragh Bardon and Liam Butler these guys were 4 under par for the 12 holes played great shooting guys, also on the day we had the prize given for junior player of the year this year’s recipient was Paul Ryan and who was presented with the Bill O’Meara cup and again many thanks to the O’Meara family for this very kind donation, our golf sixes team travelled to Tipperary golf club on the bank holiday Monday to fulfil our last fixture in the league and a great day was had by all, we finished runners up this year in the league so again well done to all our panel.
