Darcy Trophy V Powerscourt

Karl Holmes’ Darcy Trophy team remain unbeaten at the halfway point of the first stage of the 2023 competition after a workmanlike win this morning when Powercourt came to Greystones.

Leading from the front today in the singles, Dylan Holmes put up an excellent performance against the number one Powerscourt player. Dylan lost the first but recovered straight away with a win on the second and a win on eight saw him nudge into a one hole lead. This lead looked odds on to double on the ninth green but an excellent up and down from his opponent ended up being enough to win the hole and the pair turned all square.  Dylan showed his metal on the back nine however, winning both the tenth, eleventh and fifteenth to win 3&2 after a sub par round of golf.

Dylan’s point was not the first on the board however.  Shane O’Connor was out third in the singles this morning and his putter was on fire.  Shane held absolutely everything in a fine display to win early doors by a margin of 6&5.

Our second man out, David Byrne was in a tougher match and was without his usual A game today. Despite a great start (two up after three), three losses on the trot from there had him one down. He won the seventh but lost the ninth and the tenth to find himself two down.  David being David, he fought back, winning the twelfth and fifteenth to get the match back to all square and a par on seventeen was enough to go one up playing the last.  An errant tee shot opened the door for his opponent unfortunately which he duly took advantage of and the match ended all square.

Our two foursomes pairs both halved their matches. Daniel O’Byrne and Niall Gaffney got off to a strong start, three up through three and looked in control of the match at the turn at two up. They were two up again on the seventeenth tee but unfortunately they lost both the seventeenth and eighteenth to halve the match.

In contrast, our final pairing of Adam Packman and Darren McCormack found themselves two down at the turn but they got themselves back to all square after the thirteenth.  Holes were traded from there on in with a par on the last for the Greystones pair enough to secure the final half in the match.

Having previously secured a win against Druids Heath away and a half V Woodbrook at home, today’s 3-1/2 to 1-1/2 win puts us in a good position at the half way stage, remaining the only undefeated team in our group.

Well done to Karl and all the players.

What a lovely afternoon….

Well done to Lady Captain Celine and her Entertainment team, lead by Liz-Anne Woollam, who put on a spectacular Movie and Afternoon Tea event at the club yesterday (Friday 27th January).  Special thanks to Deirdre Fitzpatrick who did much of the heavy lifting for this particular event.

On what might have been a dreary January afternoon the main function room was transformed to a high end movie theater and the audience were treated to Singin’ in the Rain followed by a scrumptious afternoon tea produced by head chef Ali.

Olivia, Paul and Nick put in many extra hours to make this event special and, along with their teams ensured everything ran like clockwork on the day.  Thanks also to our 2023 Junior Boys Captain, Jamie Anderson who was on hand, suited and booted, to escort our ladies into the function.

Thanks as always to our Major Event sponsors, Newcastle Design and Gino’s Gelato for their wonderful support and to Ronan McLoughlin who provided the audio PA for this event.

3rd Green extension

Below is a photograph taken after this weekend’s golf.

It shows where at least six members ( we had no guests playing over the weekend ) walked with their trolleys through the GUR area to the right of the third green.

This is disrespectful to both the course staff who are working on this green extension and to your fellow members.

Darcy Cup and Darcy Trophy matches today Sunday 15th Jan

Karl Holmes and his young Darcy Trophy team were at home this morning to a strong Woodbrook team.
First out was David Byrne who had a strong hold of the match early doors turning two up.  At this level every opponent is going to be strong and the match was back to all square by the fourteenth teebox.  A tap in birdie on the fourteenth saw David go back in front and he held on to win on the eighteenth, 2 up.
Our second player this morning was Dylan Holmes who also turned two up, despite not playing his best golf. A loss on the twelfth, when he found the trees off the tee was followed up by a win on the thirteenth to restore his lead but another loss on the fifteenth cut his lead back to one.  His opponent then birdied sixteen and seventeen to go into a one shot lead on the eighteenth tee box.  Dylan hit a great drive and, with his opponent within ten feet had to attack the flag.  His ball went straight over the pin and rolled off the back of the green.  Dylan was away and hit a super chip which found the hole which was enough to halve the match.
Adam Packman was our final singles player today and started with a chip in for two on the first to take an early lead. As with the other two matches he turned ahead in his match one up after nine and doubled this lead with another win on the tenth.  A loss on the eleventh stalled his progress and he had to dig in to half the next two holes.  A win on fourteen was perhaps the turning point and he halved the next three holes to win by a margin of 2&1.
With two and a half points in the bag it looked like we might sneak a second win on the trot but, as we all know too well, golf can be cruel. Our first foursomes pair of Daniel O’Byrne & Shane O’Connor were in a dogfight all morning and got to the eighteenth all square. Both pairs found the correct level of the green in two and it was Greystones to putt first for the birdie.  Shane hit a great putt from fifteen feet that did everything but fall in hole while the Woodbrook man holed his fourteen footer for the win.
Meanwhile Jamie Anderson & William O’Riordan faced a very tough pair and, despite turning all square their match went away from them on the back nine and a loss on sixteen sealed the match 3&2 and the tie was halved two and a half a piece.
In the afternoon our ladies also took on Woodbrook, this time away from home.  Woodbrook would have a number of international ladies at this level and our girls more than did themselves proud.
Woodbrook only have twelve holes open at the moment and our first singles player, Aishling Marmion played well but lost 3&2.
Second out Niamh Kielty, also played well but her match finished 4&3 to Woodbrook.
Our third singles match saw Jennifer Moore come up trumps with a great 3&1 win, putting some blue on the board but the tie was sealed when Iris Haughton & Isabella Stewart saw their match end by a margin of 3&2.
Deirdre Ahern & Sophie Lumley put on a great show at the tail end of the field to win their match 2&1.
So a very encouraging performance by the ladies, albeit the tie being lost 3-2.
All to play for by both Men’s and Ladies’ teams in the next round of this competition.

Darcy Trophy team get off to a winning start…

Congratulations to Karl Holmes’ Darcy Trophy team who got off to a winning start today ( 8/1/23 ) with a good away win to Druid’s Heath Golf Club.
With an average age of just 22, including the relative veteran Shane O’Connor, this might well have been the youngest team to ever line out for a Senior team in Greystones at this level.
First out was Shane in the singles and he started off in great form, storming into a three up lead after four holes but his Druids opponent fought back and it took all Shane’s game smarts to eek out a halved match in the end.  Daniel O’Byrne started like a train also and was four under for the first five holes and five up in the match.  It looked like it might be an early shower for his opponent but as often happens in matchplay Daniel had to fight hard in the end to win by a margin of 3&2.  Our third singles player was fifteen year old Toby Murphy who faced a very experienced operator.  Toby played well tee to green and had his chances on fifteen and sixteen but in the end went down by a margin of 3&2.  This was great experience for Toby however and he is definitely a star of the future at this level.
Our first foursomes pairing were David Byrne and Dylan Holmes.  Both David and Dylan played some excellent golf today and always looked in total control of their match turning four up. With Niall Gaffney and Gary Dunne on the bags the pair didn’t let up and ran out 5&4 winners.
Our final pairing of Jamie Anderson (Junior Captain) & William O’Riordan, (with a combined age of thirty one) played exceptionally well also against their far more experienced opposition in what was a nip and tuck match from the off.  A win on the ninth got their match back to just one down, and another on the fifteenth squared the match.  The two boys hit three exceptional iron approach shots to the final three holes to earn a half in the match and secure the overall win for the Greystones team by a margin of 3-2.
Well done to all involved and to all the supporters who came out this morning to support the team
