Fred Daly team defeat Carton

Our Fred Daly team had a tough opponent in Carton House and made tougher by the away draw. So Greystones had three away and two at home.

Representing Greystones at home were Toby Murphy and Jack McGovern while away it was Will O’Riordan, Dylan Holmes and Jamie Anderson.

At home Toby got away to a great start and was 2up after 5 and extended his lead to 5 up after 9 holes Jack was in a tight battle and was one down as he headed down the lane.

In Carton Dylan was also in a close match and was all square after 9 holes. Will was one down through 4 but then 5 of the next 9 holes to be 4 up and looking comfortable. Last up away was Jamie and again he got away to a flying start and was 3 up after 6 and still held that lead after 9 holes.

Toby put the first point on the board with a 5&4 win. Will followed him shortly after with a 4&2 win. Dylan’s match continued to be a very tight affair with never more than a hole in it. Dylan eventually won the point by winning 15 & 17 to win 1up. Jamie followed with a 3 & 1 win after winning the 17th hole. Finally Jack McGovern battled all the way to 18 for a half point in another really close match where there was never more than a hole between the players.

Congratulations to Pete and his team on advancing to the next round.

Leinster Women’s Challenge Trophy

Round 3 of the Leinster Women’s Challenge Trophy took place on Friday June 21st.

With all 5 matches away, on a tough and long Powerscourt course, the task was certainly never going to be easy.

The panel of Pauline Short Foley, Pamela Fitzgerald, Kathryn McAleer, Avril O’Farrell and Aisling Simmonds stood up to the challenge and romped home with a resounding win. With 3 cards counting, our 56 points was more than enough to beat Powercourt who scored 47 points.

Super sub, Bernie O’Broin, double tasked on the day and did an excellent job as caddy for Kathryn McAleer. Many thanks to Bernie and Fiona Tilson, Regina Connaughton, Geraldine Mulcahy and Herber O’Farrell who kept their players calm and steady on the day.

Right hand assistant manager Deirdre Fitzpatrick was on hand to direct and help and support and Lady Captain Ciara was in attendance supporting also.

Many many thanks to you all. We look forward to our next match, which is against Kilmashogue in the next few weeks.

Managers: Celine Joyce, Deirdre Fitzpatrick and Stella Purcell.

Friday 14th June Nine and Dine with Sharon Crosbie

Friday 14th June Nine and Dine BBQ was an “Amazing Grace’ night for everyone who participated in the golf first, then the fantastic entertainment by Jazz singer extraordinaire Sharon Crosbie who rocked the clubhouse late into the evening.
Team O”Gorman-Dunne couples won the back nine and team Mulcahy and friends had a great score on the front nine but in order for Colm to win more PROV balls he had to show his singing talent with a great version of Mustang Sally….
The forecast predicted stormy weathebut we were so lucky the only ‘storm’ on the night was created by the superb voice of Sharon Crosbie herself…thank you Sharon and we would love to have you back again to Greystones Golf Club any time.
Also huge thanks to Ali and his team for a wonderful BBQ

Successful day for Mens interclub

On a busy day of interclub competition first from the men’s section was our Barton Cup team who had the home advantage of 3 matches at home and 2 away to Powerscourt. Leading the team out were Dylan Holmes and Dylan Cavazza who established an early lead and were 3 up through 7 holes. Next up were Eddie Lonergan and Shane Power, Powerscourt got off to an early advantage and were 3 up after 8 holes. Our final pair at home were Chris Boylan and Declan Murray who after losing the first hole developed a commanding lead after 9 holes of 3 up.

Away in Powerscourt Alan Keane and Ruadhan Murray were first away and again took an early advantage 4 up through 5 holes and still 4 up through 9 holes. Craig Hazelton and Shane Nolan were up next and after a difficult start were 2 down at the turn.

The Dylan’s quickly put an early point on the board with a 7&5 win. This was soon followed by a 2nd point from Chris and Declan. The clinching point was delivered by Alan and Ruadhan in Powerscourt on the 16th by a margin of 4&2. At this point Eddie and Shane were called in having fought back to dormie 1 down. Craig and Shane had comeback to get ahead of their opposition by 2 holes after 14.

Congratulations to Ray McDonnell and his team. Next up will be Beech Park.

Our Pierce Purcell team took to the course next. There would be 2 matches at home and 2 in Rathfarnham. However Greystones had the home draw in the event of a playoff.

Neil Lawless and Gavan McGirr lead off and in a close affair were 1up through 9. Colm O’Neill and Robert Clarke were next in and in another tight match were also 1up through 9.

Away from home Dermot Barry and Alan Byrne led off and in another tight game were 1up at the turn. Gary O’Connor and Gerry Browner ran into tough opponents and were 5 down after 9 holes.

Rathfarnham turned the first match in Greystones around on the back nine and built up a 2 up lead after 12 and held onto this lead to put a point on the board winning 2 up. Colm and Robert won 10 & 11 to go 3 up and maintained the advantage to win 3&1. Away in Rathfarnham Dermot and Alan put the 2nd point on the board for Greystones with a comfortable 4&3 win. Rathfarnham levelled it up at 2 all as Gary and Gerry were unable to recover on the back 9 and were beaten 7&6.

So off we went to a playoff and Neil and Gavan had been nominated before the start to represent Greystones. As Gavan walked towards the 19th tee he received the wonderful news that he had become a Grandad and maybe this news inspired him as he hit a great shot to the 1st hole and Neil rolled in the birdie putt to progress to the next round. We’ll done Grandad!!

Congratulations to Jim Wood and his team. Next up will be Ballinascorney before the 7th July.

Our final team of the day were our Senior Men’s Interclub team who were up against Coollattin. Again there were 2 matches in each venue with Greystones with the home advantage in case of a playoff.

Macdara Cummins and Michael Whelan were 1st up at home and in a very closely fought match were all square heading down the lane. Paul Creedon and Michael Keating had the advantage at the turn and were 2 up. Away in Coollattin Trevor Phillips and Colm Drew were 2 up after 3 and were still 2 up after 9. In the last game away Conor Lucey and Dermot Whiston were off to a bad start and were 4 down after 5. Conor and Dermot began to turn things around and were 1 down after 9.

Back in Greystones Macdara and Michael were still level after 11 but then stretched away and won 3&1. Paul and Michael quickly made it 2-0 to Greystones with a 3&2 win.

Meanwhile in Coollattin the home side turned around the first match and defeated Trevor and Colm on the 17th. So it’s now 2-1. In the final match Conor and Dermot were still one down after 16 and needed a halved match to go through to the next round. A par on 17 with a shot was enough to go level with a hole to go. After the tee shots on 18 both Dermot and one of the opposition had about 12ft for birdie. Greystones were away by a small margin and the putt was rolled in to guarantee the half point to win 2.5 to 1.5.

Congratulations to Trevor Phillips and Stephen O’Brien and their team.

Next up will be Naas or Blessington Lakes by the 14th July

Junior Foursomes ease past Killiney

On Friday morning our Junior Foursomes team were up against Killiney with both matches in Greystones.

The format combines the scores from both matches. Representing Greystones were Dylan Holmes with Dylan Cavazza and Jamie Anderson with Ruadhan Murray. Both pairs got off to flyers with the Dylan’s 4 up through 6 holes and Jamie and Ruadhan 7 up at the turn.

Killiney fought back with 2 wins on 7 & 8 against Holmes and Cavazza but Greystones reestablished their lead by winning 3 of the next 4 to be 5 up at the 12th.

Jamie and Ruadhan continued on their merry way to be 9 up through 13 holes.

As Greystones were now 14 holes up with only 11 to be play they progress to the next round where we will meet Bray or Delgany.

Congratulations to Karl Holmes and his team.
