What a month June was with some perfect golfing weather providing everyone with the opportunity to get out and play the course in great condition. On the course it was a very busy month with two honour board events being decided. The first Saturday of the month saw Barry Kearney and Darren Craig battle it out in the final of the Individual Matchplay. The match was a thriller with an extra hole required to decide the match, Darren eventually prevailing winning on the 19^th Hole. Some outstanding golf was played during the final none more so than on the 4^th Hole where Darren popped it straight in the hole off the tee, Barry did have a put to halve the hole but it just slid past. Congratulations to both players for a fantastic event.

The other event to be decided was the foursome’s championship which again was a very tight battle.  Winning the Championship for 2010 was the Team of Scott McLean & Paul Burnell who claimed the title on a countback from Jim Kaliviotis & Phil Snow. The Nett event went to Jon Palk & Jeff Quick who finished with 70, Brett Mostyn and Mick Vanitallie were the runners up with 70.5. Congratulations to all winners and just a reminder that the Club Championships commence on Saturday 31^st July with entry forms now available in the golfshop.

In other news the members golf day is fast approaching and if i could ask all members that are interested in playing to please register their interest in the golfshop for catering purposes. The day is shaping up well with the event to be an Irish Stableford, on the day there will be plenty of activities away from the golf and i hope to see as many people as possible at the event.

I wish all members the best for the upcoming club championships and hope to see everyone out and about during July.
