<p class="MsoPlainText">1st place gets 120 euro, 2nd and 3rd 60 apiece. Entry
envelopes are available at the clubhouse noticeboard or you can set up a direct
debit for 10 euro per month to the club's bank account at the following IBAN :
IE59 BOFI 905328 22439700.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><b>CHANGES TO MONTHLY DRAW</b> - The format of the Club Draw is
changing to a 50/50 draw with the next
one to be held on the Friday of Open Week (July) - so current direct debit
subscribers will get 6 entries in that draw (Feb- July subs). As well as the
current monthly debit subscriptions, one off entries can be purchased for 10
euro each in envelopes in the clubhouse.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This will guarantee a bigger prize fund for entrants as
there will be more interest in "one off" entries than there is with
the current system. We are very grateful to those who have contributed to our
draw over the years as it has been a valuable source of funds for course
maintenance.<o:p></o:p></p>

Golfer of the Year competition it was discovered that points had erroneously
been awarded on both the Saturday and Sunday of weekend competitions instead of
aggregated overall places. As of 10/9/22 Jim Callery is in first place with 69
points, Pat Conroy is in second with 66, Charlie O'Donnell is placed third with
64 points and Vincent Egan is next with 56.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">8/9/22 1st Martin Sweeney 21 points, 2nd Lee McKillen 21,

Thursday competition and have not yet sponsored, please consider doing so.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">The leaderboard for the Mens 18 Hole Stableford held on
the 3rd and 4th of September had a younger than average age profile with Tadhg
Lowe beating Adam Daly on count back, both having had 43 points. Ciaran Beirne
took the prize for best gross score and Dessie Murphy came 3rd with 41, just
edging out Michael O'Dowd on countback.<o:p></o:p></p>

Well done to Niall Kearney's Connacht Shield team who chalked up another win,
this time against Swinford Golf Club. Boyle had 3 games at home and 2 away, but
were under pressure when they lost one of the home games. Thankfully Shane
O'Dowd and Cillian Doyle hit a good run of form playing in Swinford and claimed
a win in an away game to cancel the home loss. Boyle went on to win 2 more
games at home in Boyle to seal the overall win, thus progressing to the next
round of the Connacht Shield tournament.</p><p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>
