Over the August Bank holiday weekend our Officers Prize competition was played. The conditions varied from day to day but the level of scoring was excellent and not just from the winners.  There will be many players who may have taught their scores would be good enough to win a prize but not this weekend. The competition really came to life on Monday afternoon when two players were on the course at the same time but unaware of each others scores. Pauline Balfe came into the clubhouse with a fantastic score of 85 and many believed this score could not be beaten. However, before Pauline got the chance to sit down to a cup of tea, Ross O'Reilly came storming into the clubhouse with a very impressive 84 nett to win the Pat O'Byrne Trophy. Ross is in serious form at the moment but one must feel for Pauline after shooting such a low score. 

The presentation will take place on Monday 28th August. There will be a scramble at 6.30pm and the presentation will follow afterwards where we hope all prize winners will be in attendance.

After the Club Matchplay our 3^rd chase 100 event, the player of the year for both Ladies and Gents has an exciting look to it.  The gents leader by just 10 points is Mal Kellett with the chasing pack containing players who will be looking for the valuable points coming up, starting this weekend.  The ladies leader by just 5 points is Vera Glennon with Pauline Balfe lying in 2^nd place.  Again this looks to be a great competition with both lady players challenging for all the big prizes.
