Morning Lakesiders, So its official Summer is here, well its a sign as signified by the No Placing-Play as it Lies signs up here at the course and pavilion this morning. Mid Week opens are now in full swing with good fields over the last 3 weeks. I see young Daire Hanrahan making his name midweek with a win and some other very good scores. Well done Daire. Another very notable performance recently was Ray Murphy’s in winning the April Medal. Ray produced a score in very tough conditions that was exceptional. Ray carded a 67 nett coming home in just 39 blows also having the best gross score of 84, Day of Days Ray. How di yis like them apples all ye single figure lads.
Just also to remind everyone that each weekend the men’s section of the club will have 2 separate standalone competitions giving people the opportunity to play twice at the weekend. Next weekend is the May Medal which will be our 3rd GOY counting competition. This is also the qualifier competition for the Club Match play competition. The top 12 qualifiers will automatically be placed in the first round proper of the Match Play with qualifiers from 13th-to 20th inclusive going into a Preliminary Round to play 4 matches the winners of which then entering the 1st round proper. Interclub competitions are now in full swing with success already for the Ladies in the Carton Cup and the Men in the Duggan cup. Next up in Interclub are the Ladies in the Challenge Cup which is taking place on Sunday the 7th @ 15.30. Best of luck to Manger Mairead and her team all support welcome.
