The 2018 Turkey competitions start this Friday, yes we are just 12 weeks from Christmas, it comes around quicker each year. We are reverting back to an older formula this year so we are having two competitions and details are below. We encourage as many as possible to get involved and we will keep you up to date with how the scoring is going. Best of Luck to all. Obviously at this time of the year everything is weather permitting and  will let you know if any competitions need to be cancelled or changed due to weather. 

Turkey Competition 1: Runs from Friday October 05th - Sunday November 04th: We will have 5 grades as normal - Gents Senior, Inter & Junior, Ladies A and B. Your best score on three of the 5 weekends to count, so just 1 counting score per weekend and your best 3 over the 5 will determine if you are in line for a Turkey. The number of Turkeys per grade will be announced once we can see the participation levels per grade. There will be a 2 shot cut for the winners and no shots back on a weekly basis you will play off same handicap each week. 

Turkey Competition 2: Runs from Friday November 09th to Sunday December 09th.  Your best 4 scores out of 5 will count here, everything else will be same as Competition Number 1. 

We hope to run a Bumper weekend after that but will keep you posted on that as the competition goes forward. Best of luck to all

Gowran and Inniskeen may not be the best known courses in the country but Pauline Balfe will remember both fondly after she pulled off an historic double in both courses to complete a Leinster Strokeplay and Matchplay triumph in 2018. What a year it has been for the likeable lass from Thomas Street, she made the Dublin Ladies Senior Inter County team winning the Leinster Inter County and runner up at the All Ireland, scratch cup success in Ierne and loughlinstown and a good year inside the club as well. However her Leinster double must rank top of that list. Pauline had to play three matches over the weekend. She defeated Christine Carroll from Seapoint in the final 3&2. Well done to Pauline. It has been a relatively quiet year for Old County stars on the outside scene but without doubt the star of 2018 from an Old County perspective is Pauline Balfe  - Double Leinster Singles champion. Well done to her.
