FIXTURES – The Crumlin Classic had been due to be played over the May Bank Holiday weekend but has been rescheduled now for the June Bank Holiday weekend.
Next weekend , the 11th and 12th of May, sees one of the club’s big competitions of the year, the Committee Cup. The course is closed on the Saturday to the men as the ladies round of the competition takes place that day, with the reverse arrangements pertaining on the Sunday. The best scores will duel it out in a 9 hole playoff on Sunday evening with the presentation of the cup directly afterwards. Both men and women are eligible to win the main prize, the Committee Cup itself.
The big competitions come up thick and fast at this time of the year with following Sunday ( the 19th) seeing the hosting of the PGA tankard, with the winner getting to play with a professional golfer in a Pro-am competition later in the summer.
INTERCLUBS – Our Mixed Foursomes team under the joint captaincies of Charlie O’Donnell and Tish Perry play a match this Wednesday the 8th of May against Ballaghaderreen Golf Club. We wish them the best of luck.
COURSE WORK- The annual pole-forking of the greens takes place on Tuesday the 14th of May. This does lead to some inconvenience as regards playing conditions on the course for a week or 2 afterwards but is absolutely vital to maintain the greens in good condition for the year.
