Mount Juliet Golf Notes

Last Sunday saw the annual competition between teams representing the Lady Captain (Sally Gleeson) playing against a team of the Captain (Jim Cusack). The format of the competition was a fourball betterball stableford with 13 scores to count on each side. The draw for teams took place at a function on Saturday night. At this very enjoyable function, the Golfer of the Year trophies were presented as was the McCalmont Cup and the September Medals.

At the end of play on Sunday, the Lady Captain’s Team just prevailed by a score of 483 points to 478 points and the last four teams to finish determined the outcome of the competition. The trophy was presented to the Lady Captain by the Captain and the three best pairs also received prizes. Best overall pair was the Captain himself with his partner Dan Cronin who scored 46 points and they just got home by a point from James J. Brett and Padraic O’Connor who in turn beat David Kelly and Alan Hearne on a countback. The winners had nines of 24 and 22 points respectively and the runners-up scored 21 and 24 points which just beat the third placed team by virtue of a better back nine holes.

This Wednesday sees the final round of the Summer Series before the Winter Series starts at the end of October. Next week the Lady President (Mary Jones) holds her prize for the lady members, and the ladies Invitation day for October will be held on Wednesday the 13th (3 person rumble).
