RESULTS – The winning combination in the Holmpatrick Fourball Betterball Qualifier was that of Tim Hester and Jim Callery with 53 points. This was Tims 2nd week in the top spot. 2nd place went to Noel McKenna and Lee McKillen with 49, 3rd were Tadhg McKenna and Dessie Murphy. Congratulations to Tadhg on his first time in the winners enclosure in the club.
COURSE WORKS – Pole forking of the greens will take place on Monday ( weather permitting) , this unfortunately means that the course will be closed for approximately 3 to 4 days. We will send out a text when it has reopened.
THIS WEEK – This Thursday sees the start of a competition with an illustrious past, bucket loads of tradition, and a long list of previous winners. For some it is the one and only golfing event worth talking about this week and for many others it is the highlight of their golfing year. Yes, that’s right, it’s the first Boyle Golf Club Thursday night men’s competition of the year! There is some other thing taking place in Augusta, Georgia but we can safely say that is of lesser importance in our eyes. Their greens may be better than ours ( they definitely won’t have been quite so recently pole forked) but the craic will be good and the 1st prize bottle of spirits and the 2s club pot will be as keenly coveted as ever.
CHARLIE BEIRNE – Congratulations to Charlie Beirne who is 21 years with the club this year. Anyone who has had any dealings with Charlie in that time will know him as a very good natured person who is always keen to oblige. Dealing with our worsened winter weather and also more stringent environmental regulations mean his job is sometimes a tricky one so thank you very much Charlie for your loyalty and hard work.
BEGINNER/IMPROVERS/KIDS – The club will see a notable increase in activity over the next few weeks. As noted above, the men’s Thursday night competitions will restart. Also the Ladies Improvers ( last years beginners) will resume in their Wednesday night slot. Our first ever Men’s Beginners will also be starting soon, most likely on a Monday night and after Easter our Juniors will recommence their Saturday morning sessions.
INTERCLUB – The men’s interclub golf season kicks off in the next few weeks with the Seniors Team ( for the Fred Perry Cup) the first out with their first fixture to be competed by May 1st. The next team out will be the Connacht 9 Hole Clubs team, with their 1st round to be played by May the 11th.
