This weekend
saw round 3 of the Spring League take place (round 2 has been postponed til
the weekend of March 3rd and 4th due to the inclement weather conditions of
last week).
The leaders after round 1, Moira Egan, Vincent Egan and
Brendan Gaffney continue to be the pacesetters with an aggregate score of 119.
Charlie O'Donnell, Ted Hester and Michael Rush are a close second on 122.5 ,
with the last podium place currently occupied by Willie Tiernan, Tommy King and
Jim Callery.
This week saw a
meeting take place in the Clubhouse to discuss some proposed changes in the
layout of the course. There were no objections and the club has already
initiated some of the changes, starting with new out of bounds areas
behind the 1st green and to the right of the 6th fairway, and the widening of
the "spinney" water hazard to the right of the 2nd fairway.
The
other changes will be seen over the next few months and include open drains in
front of the 5th and 9th greens, trees between the 2nd and 4th fairways
and introducing areas of rough around some tee-boxes.
Other work planned
this year includes the finishing of the recently constructed
chipping practice area by installing drains and preparing the surface of the
green. A practice driving net will also be installed beside this green.
The club has arranged a social
golf outing to St Margaret's Golf and Country Club in Co Dublin on Saturday
the 14th of April. Boyle member Gary Carty works in St Margaret's and has
obtained a great deal for us for 18 holes of golf followed by a 2 course meal
for 40 euro. All members are invited.
Next weekend sees the official
launch of the golfing year with the Captains' Drive-In. The draw takes place at
12.45 pm with tee-off at 1. The bar will be open and food will be available.
