Mount Juliet Golf Notes

The Ladies Invitation Day for June took place last Wednesday and with the weatherman smiling kindly on all participants, a good day was had by all competitors. Scoring was very close with only a shot separating the three prizewinning partnerships. The format was a fourball betterball stableford with the winners returning a score of 38 points. Sandra Carr and her partner Pauline Ann Murray just got the better of the pairing of Lady Captain, Sally Gleeson, and her partner Jeanie Ronan who in turn beat Brenda O’Sullivan and her partner Pauline McEnery on a countback.

In the McCalmont Cup Matchplay, the competition has reached the quarter-final stage. Match pairings are as follows; Kathyrn O’Connor v Paul Barrett, Michael Brennan v Pat Price Jr., Helen Scully v John O’ Connor, Chris McHugh v Ruth Skehan with all four matches to be played by the 30th June.

Next Sunday sees the J. B. Carr Trophy down for decision with sections for both the ladies and men with Golfer of the Year points on offer to both sections. Preparations are in full flow for the Captains Prizes which will take place on Saturday 26th June. A limited number of tee times will be available on the Friday evening prior to the event for Juniors and to accommodate members who cannot play on the Saturday.

Summer conditions the order of the day

The first Ladies Invitation Day for 2010 was played last Wednesday and the format was an 18 holes three person scramble. The deserving winners on the day were the North Dublin team led by former Lady Captain Ita Slattery. They had almost 2 shots to spare over their nearest rivals led by another former Lady Captain, Rita Garvey. On a very pleasant day there was a good turnout for the first invitation day of the season although the course was still playing long after the rain of the previous two days.

Last Sunday saw another Member/Guest Day competition and the format was a 4 person team event over 18 holes with play off the green tee markers.

This competition was played in summer like conditions and saw the team led by former captain, Padraic O’Connor, emerge as convincing winners from the Captain’s, Jim Cusack, team of Kildare based visitors.

The next team in action in the inter club series is the Barton Cup team who take on the might of Kilkenny Golf Club next Saturday evening and then the ladies go to Callan Golf Club on Monday next to play Borris Golf Club in the first round of the Challenge Cup. This is part of the new conditions pertaining to the competitions run by the I.L.G.U. whereby these matches must be played at neutral venues.

The April Monthly Medal is scheduled to be played on Sunday 25^th April and the timesheet for this event is now open. Members can reserve a tee time “online” or by phoning golf reservations. This is another round of the Golfer of the Year competition for ladies and men and it will also be a qualifying competition for the McCalmont Cup Matchplay
