Tuesday Nighters’Results 30th April 2013

By

The Results are:

1st Cathal Mc Dermott 20pts

2nd Shane Mc Kiernan 20pts

A great turnout of 27 players across all handicap categories made this one of our best Tuesday Nighters competitions to date and we know that we are going to build on this, the craic and banter after the golf was as equally enjoyable.

Well done to Cathal and to Shane and we know they plan to defend last weeks honours, with Shane hoping to go one better.

Don’t forget, this is open to all comers of all hanidcaps and we play off the white markers. Timesheet is now open
So come on, get your game in shape and enjoy the great fun afterwards,

Declan Fallon,
Tuesday Nighters Convenor.

Friday Nighters Results 26th April

By

Friday Night 26th AprilMixed Greensomes.

 

We had visitors from:  Dromoland Castle

Deerpark

St. Annes

Beaverstown, on a cold, windy and wet night.

 

Winners:            Hailstones

Runners Up:       Bitter Cold

 

Showing wisdom beyond his years the Captain led players off the course and away from hailstones, bitter wind and rain to the warm clubhouse and the competition was abandoned.  Needless to say as we came in via the 18th fairway the Hail ceased and the sun shone, but it was to be a short respite.

Despite the disappointment an enjoyable time was had and those who played are credited with participation so as to qualify for top prizes in the Friday Nighters Final.

Come along next Friday, the word is we will have improved weather.  I look forward to seeing you.

Slide
Golf at Howth

Founded in 1916 the heath land links style course was designed by the renowned golfer and course architect James Braid, a 5 times winner of “The Open” Golf Championship who can count the design of the prestigious Kings and Queens Courses at Gleneagles amongst his greatest achievements.

James was well known for including dog leg design golf holes in his course designs and the 5th hole in particular is an excellent example of how he blended a great golf hole into the unique Howth Heathers. The exceptional views from the 16th tee are worthy of mention in any golf guide.
