A great week of golf, with well over 100 competitive rounds played in glorious weather. Aidan Chinoy was the big winner this week taking the monthly medal, Michael Jnr O’Sullivan won round 4 of the Friday open, and Clara Brosnan narrowly pipped Julie Kirby for the ladies singles.

INTERCLUB MATCHES;
Our Minor Cup Team played Newcastlewest in Newcastlewest yesterday. What an unbelievable fight to bring it down to the 19th hole. We were one match up and one match down early on and the remaining matches saw us claw our way back. We then lost a match on 18 and won another on 18 so it was down the 19th to decide who would be victorious. Unfortunately it wasn't to be on the day. So so close ladies but well done on a super comeback.
Well done to players Anne Collins, Kathleen Hennessy, Merlyn O'Connor, Joan Cantillon and Cathy Barry. Thank you to all the caddies and to team Manager Tina.
The Challenge Cup Team will meet Tralee in the next round which has to be played on or before June 11th. We await a date for this fixture.
CARE ON THE COURSE;
Ladies we now have divot bags for use just beside the small green gate. Please take one when playing social or competition golf.
CONGRATULATIONS;
Congratulations to Carmel Kearney on winning the best nett score on the Old Course in Ballybunion yesterday and also to Marion Bourke who had a hole in one last Sunday while playing golf with her brother. Well done ladies.
MEN'S RESULTS;
We contested in a 3 person Rumble this weekend in very welcoming weather. This ensured that it would take an all round team performance to claim the honours and so it proved to be the case as the trio of Sean Spillane, Sean "Adare" O'Connor and the younger David Conway claimed victory with a great 80 points. It's reported that the two Seans are available to give lessons this week!!!
Next up is our Monthly Medal on Saturday afternoon and Sunday Morning. Entry as per usual on the BRS system.
1st. David Conway (7)/ Sean Spillane (16)/Sean O'Connor (24) 80 points.
CLUB MATCHPLAY COMPETITIONS;
Entries are now being accepted for our Singles, Fourball and Mixed Foursomes Matchplay Championships. Entry sheets are posted on the club notice board and the entry fee will be accepted via your BRS account (€7 per player per competition).
GET WELL WISHES;
Everyone at Castlegregory GC would like to wish our own Kevin Kerin a speedy recovery. Kevin is in the great care of the staff at UHK and hopefully we will see him back on our fairways soon.
