Ladies and Gentlemen Old County Pitch and Putt Club is very sad to hear the news of the passing of Mylie Burke. Mylie was a member of Old County Pitch and Putt Club for many many years, back in March of this year he celebrated his 100th birthday. A fantastic character who brought a lot of joy and fun to all of us lucky enough to be in his company. 

Sincerest sympathies to Mylie's family at this very difficult time.

Funeral arrangements can be found at the link below. Rest In Peace Mylie.

Myles Burke R.I.P.

Ladies and Gentlemen the Course is closed for the rest of today (Sunday 29 October) and will remain closed on Bank Holiday Monday 30 October 2023 due to a lot of water on the course.

Ladies and Gentlemen we have just completed Weekend 2 in the first hamper accumulator. Amazing we were able to play at all after all that rain. What a fantastic course we have.

In the Gents Division 1 Dave Redmond hits the top of the leaderboard with a 17 under par nett, just 1 shot ahead of Gerry Clarges on 16 under par. The leading gross score in the division is Stephen Murray on 13 under par.

Gents Division 2 sees Paul Luz open up a commanding lead after 2 weekends. Paul is on 21 under par nett, 8 shots ahead of his nearest challenger Brian Gorman on 13 under par. The leading gross score in the division is Liam Comerford on 2 under par.

Gents Division 3 looks like it will be a close one with 7 players within 5 shots of each other. Leading the way is Tom Mulvey on 16 under par nett followed closely by Kevin Keatinge on 15 under par.

The Ladies Division 1 sees Kathleen Condron open up a 4 shot lead on 17 under par with Pauline Balfe in 2nd place on 13 under par.

Margaret Collins leads the way in Ladies Division 2 on 6 under par, 5 shots ahead of nearest challenger Ann Doyle.

All still to play for. Another 3 weekends to go with your best 4 weekends from  5 counting towards your overall total. While I think of it, bunkers are out of play next weekend. If you go into a bunker you have a free drop behind the bunker in line with where your ball went in.
