Junior Results – 13 April 2024

We were delighted to welcome back 42 boys and girls this afternoon for our first Junior Competition of 2024 having had to cancel last week due to Storm Kathleen.

Some great scoring across all of our groups:

  1. JP Lynch 44pts
  2. Cameron McConnell 38pts (back 9)
  3. John O’Boyle 38pts

Reds (9 holes):

  1. Harry Greenan 19pts
  2. Jack Daly 17pts

Great to welcome everyone back and to see some new faces. Some phenomenal scoring today in what were very windy conditions. We didn’t hold our prizegiving (as we couldnt locate our Junior locker key!), so please collect your prizes next Saturday.

It was particularly pleasing to see so many boys and girls, and parents, in the clubhouse after the competition. The social aspect of our Junior section is equally as important as our on-course activities, and one which we embrace and encourage.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next Saturday.

Junior Scramble Results – 3 November 2023

We held our last official Junior Competion of 2023 this afternoon when 42 boys and girls played in our season-ending Junior Scramble in very unseasonal weather…….not a drop of rain fell! Some great golf played, and it is always particularly enjoyable to mix our Blues, Reds and Whites together in what are really fun events.

7Ups Competition – 6 Holes:

  1. Tom Lawlor, Max Mahady & Oscar Maguire
  2. Olivia Holmes, Ben McFadden, Freddie Gormley & Donnacha Cribben

Main Competition – 9 Holes:

  1. Leo Murphy, Alfie O’Reilly & James Lynn
  2. John O’Boyle, Jack Daly & Jack Delmar Anderson
  3. Ruadhán Murray, James Power & Devin Kelly

It was a great day and a fitting end to a truly wonderful Junior Golf year in GGC. It has been brilliant to watch the progress of all of our Juniors this year, in particular all of the Whites and 7Ups.

As ever, we can only host regular competitions with lots of help, so a huge thank you today to Jenny Moore, Helen Murphy (our official photographer!) and Barry Massey (teaching all of the smallies how to do the “Massey Chip”!).

Also to Jackie behind the bar and Ali and Olivia who fed everyone!

And finally, to our 2023 Junior Captains, Isabella and Jamie who again expertly called the results, ably assisted by our Junior Convenor Neil. It was Isabella and Jamie’s last official engagement of the season and they have both been a credit to the Junior Section. Sophie and Dylan have big shoes to fill next year!

Thankfully as Neil said during the prizegiving, this is not the end of the season as our Junior coaching programme continues tomorrow in the Driving Range for Reds and Whites. Please encourage your children to continue playing during the darker winter months, and we look forward to 2024 being another great year of golf for all of our Juniors.

Will O’Riordan won the gross with a great level par round of 69.

A massive thank you to our President, Marguerite, for her support of the Junior section in GGC and her very generous prizes today. We had a record 61 boys and girls playing in a Junior major and Marguerite was on the first tee to see every group off. It was great to see so many parents at the prize giving, with the results again expertly called by our Junior Girls Captain, Isabella, and our Junior Boys Captain, Jamie.

A big thank you to Ali, Liz and the catering team for feeding everybody, and to Paul and Alan behind the bar.

And to Anto, Martin, Sinead and John for getting all of the boys and girls off on time and marking the cards. As always, we can only run successful competitons with the help of parents!

Some brilliant scores today, with a big shout out to Jane with 44 points and Aoife with an incredible 42 points (for 14 holes!). Please collect your prize next Saturday if you missed the prizegiving in the Clubhouse after the competition.

We host our last Junior major of the season, President Marguerite Hamill’s Prize for the Junior girls and boys, next Saturday. Timesheet will go live on Tuesday, so let’s try and get a big turn-out for Marguerite who is looking forward to seeing everyone in action.

We had a long update last week when we were delighted to list out some of the great achievements of our Junior boys and girls in recent inter-club competitions. Unfortunately this week we fell just short of winning a Green Pennant when Peter Anderson and Karl Holmes’ incredible Fred Daly team came ever so close to beating Royal Portrush in the final in Castletroy GC. It was a phenomenal achievement to get to the final as we beat the very fancied Douglas GC in the quarter-finals. Having got the better of Lurgan GC in the morning semi-final, it just wasn’t to be against Portrush who won by the slimmest of margins, 3 matches to 2. We also came up short against Monkstown GC in the quarter-final of the All-Ireland Foursomes on Tuesday afternoon, who went on to lose in the final against Baltinglass GC. The standard of golf in Castletroy was breathtaking and we are incredibly proud of our ten man panel of Dylan, Jamie, Toby, Jack, Stephen, Will, Marc, Milo, Ruadhán and Conor. Your time will come guys!

The Junior Committee would like to say a big thank you to Pete and Karl, and Team Manager Michael Joyce, for the fantastic achievement of winning two Leinster South pennants and getting to two All-Ireland finals this year. We are luckly to have people who are so dedicted, committed and passionate about junior golf in GGC and put in a huge amount of work behind the scenes.

See you all next Saturday
