On Friday the Social Gathering for Members and friends was held. A huge thank you to all who contributed to the success of the Charades Night. Bar BBQ Kitchen and Clean Up all did a great job. Highlight of the meal were the superb deserts from Cheryl’s Kitchen at the House of O’Halloran. The charades provided plenty of laughs and highlighted both the moderate and magnificent theatrical skills we have in the Club. Some photos above.

With the Tees off the back markers for the Monthly Medal all players found the going difficult despite the course looking fantastic.

The Ladies numbers were down on recent weeks due to the weather but Sharon Grogan proved she has more talent at golf than Charades taking out the Ladies Stroke event with a net 79
Penny Britton (38) net 83 had to settle for second place after being in the winning team on Friday evening.
To round out a big weekend of golf Greg Clements and Tom White travelled to Broadfod for their Annual Tournament on Sunday
