RESULTS - The winner of the 9 hole Stableford played on
Sunday the 6th of December was a man making a return to the winners enclosure,
John McGuinn, with 18 points. Seamus Gallagher and Paul Connolly were 2nd and
3rd respectively. The scores were low, but this was a reflection on current
playing conditions rather than the abilities of local golfers. The recent heavy
rainfall has left the course too soft for the operation of grass cutting
machinery which has resulted in fairways not being cut for a prolonged period,
and balls are plugging.Many members really appreciate the outlet of playing
golf again since the end of the last lockdown and are keen to keep the course
open, but expectations will have to be realistic - very little can be done with
the course until we have some drier weather.
FIXTURES - The Christmas Bonanza was due to be played on Sunday the 13th, but it has now been deferred to next weekend Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th of December, weather and course conditions permitting. A 9 hole Stableford was played instead of the Bonanza on the 13th, results to follow.
