Sunday, March 16, Green Valley – Stableford

A much more pleasant day in Green Valley today compared to the previous week.  We got off well before our allotted tee time and with no one in front of us we got around in less than four hours, which is how golf should be played. 

We had one very good score today as Donal McGuigan ran away with it with an excellent forty one points and will be in for a sharp reduction in his handicap.  After that the scores were a bit more mundane with Declan Kelly coming second with thirty four followed at one point increments by Joe McArdle and John Beshoff.

3rd Joe McArdle (13) 33pts

4th John Beshoff (14) 32pts

Thursday, March 20,Silky Oak – Stableford

Silky Oak today for a change and this course seems to be getting better and is currently in excellent condition, both the fairways and the greens.  Very few people on the course today so we got around very quickly.  It was very hot but as everyone has to take a golf cart here the heat is not so much of a problem.

Joe McArdle took the honors today with thirty eight points followed closely by Shaun Merriman just one back.  Charlie Lapsley took third with thirty four points on count back over George Cullen, Frank McGowan and John Beshoff.

We had four ‘2’s today from Frank McGowan (2), Declan Kelly and John Beshoff.

1st Joe McArdle (13) 38pts

2nd Shaun Merriman (10) 37pts

3rd Charlie Lapsley (8) 34pts
