CASTLEGREGORY
Today we gathered for our grand finale on our links on a fine autumnal day. The Master Classic, for our top 18 golfers, along with a singles stableford competition for those who wanted to tog out on this season ending day were the main menu. As the old adage goes "the cream always comes to the top" and this was the case today when the ever popular Sean Spillane took the honours by just edging out our Masters winner Frank Herlihy on a countback. Then one outgoing men's secretary, John Dillane, continued his rich vein of form by claiming the singles with a massive 46 points. A sincere thanks to our sponsors Garveys Super Valu,Tralee, and to all those who played on our beautiful links.
Results; Master Classic. 1st. Sean Spillane 38 (18+20) 2nd. Frank Herlihy 38 (19+19) 3rd. Martin Rice 37 Singles Stableford. 1st. John Dillane 46 2nd. Eamonn Travers 37 3rd.

Finally, I would like to pay tribute to all those who played in our year long competitions and to those who collected silverware along the way. Our course staff who worked tirelessly to have our course in great condition, i say thank you. To those who stepped up to represent us in the various Golf Ireland and Kerry Federation competitions,I give thanks, and I'll sign off by wishing our incoming Captain Tony Sills the very best in his reign for 2024 as we look forward to another year of golf on a course that's playable all year round.
