Old County Pitch & Putt Club

Congratulations to Tom O'Reilly and Pauline Balfe who will be crowned players of the year for 2019. The duo have been so consistent all season and their just rewards is to finish the season as the club Number 1 players. There is still points up for grabs at the Sean McDermott Cup on Sunday but not enough to dislodge Tom & Pauline. Tom unusually did not win a club major. However he was runnr up at the Strokeplay and won the Top Gross at the Captains and he won the Tom Doyle. Tom's most memorable moment was his 39 score at the strokeplay in August. He was also runner up in the GAA matchplay earlier this month. Pauline too has been very consistent in the club majors and was winner of the Club Matchplay and runner up in the Strokeplay as well. Pauline too was a member of the Dublin Inter County team and she again performed well in scratch cups. The runners up Conor O'Shea and Vera Glennon too were excellent. Vera was our strokeplay winner, Handicap Matchplay winner, performed well in the Club Matchplay and a number of the Chase II events. She Matched Pauline almost all the way and nearly caught her at the end. Conor O'Shea what a year for him. winner of the GAA Matchplay, the Gents Inter Matchplay and runner up in the Dublin Matchplay, his game continues to improve and 2020 could be a very exciting year for him with lots to look forward to.   We will update final points total after our final weekend. We will announce too presentation dates as well to our winners and runners up but well played to Tom & Pauline on a fantastic consistent year. 

POTY 2019

With just two big events left the Anniversary and the Sean McDermott Cup. Tom O'Reilly and Pauline Balfe are in the ascendency. Conor O'Shea and Vera Glennon have closed the gap but the top 2 might hang on. Conor knows Karl Murphy and Stephen Power are in pursuit of 2nd place. Our winner may well be known after the Anniversary Results are released. 

POTY2019

The POTy event still sees Tom O'Reilly & Pauline lead the way after the Club Matchplay on Friday. Karl Murphy and Stephen Power have made some ground on Tom but he still have a sizeable lead. Conor O'Shea and Tony Byrne both made big moves after their big wins. 

In the Ladies Pauline has stretched her lead further after her win. Jenn McGreal is back in the mix, but at this stage it looks like only 4 players can now win it and the other three have a lot of ground to make up on Pauline. 

The 4th and final major of the season takes place on August 25th - the Club Strokeplay. 

POTY Standings

Pauline Balfe & Tom o'Reilly certainly made hay during the Captains Prize and Tom Doyle / Ann Keane and their points tally has seen then surge ahead at the top of the race. Both have handsome leads but with the Officers Prize and Club Matchplay just around the corner. They know things can change quickly. Vera Glennon and Joe Byrne are their closest challengers, but behind them the race is very close. see the full standings below.
