We hosted our first major of the year today, Ciara and Mark’s Captain’s Prize for the Juniors. We had an incredible turnout of 67 boys and girls playing in great playing conditions, as evidenced by the fantastic scoring across all of our categories.

Our Junior Girls Captain Sophie Lumley and Junior Boys Captain Dylan Holmes were on hand to call out the results and present the prizes with Ciara and Mark, ably assisted by our Junior Convenor Neil Lawless who did a great job in organising our first major of the year.

Congratulations to Emma Haugh who won Ciara’s prize for the girls with a great score of 38pts, and to Cillian McInerney who won Mark’s prize for the boys with a brilliant score of 43pts! A Captain’s Prize is an incredibly hard prize to win, so well done guys.

Congratulations to all of our winners, and thank you to all of the parents and boys and girls who attended the prizegiving in the Clubhouse after the competition. Our majors are special days and it was great to see everyone after.

A huge thank you to Ciara and Mark, for both your prizes today and your ongoing support for Junior golf in GGC. We have a Junior Section that is the envy of many clubs!

Thank you also to Paul, Jackie and the team behind the bar and also to Ali, Liz, Olivia and the team in the kitchen who fed and watered everybody.

We also had a busy week in the provincial championships. Will O’Riordan was just pipped at the finish line when he was beaten in a play-off for the Munster U18 Boys after shooting a great final round of 2 under par 69, playing his last 6 holes in 3 under par. This followed Will’s 3rd place finish in the Leinster U18 Boys a few weeks ago – great golf Will! Dylan Holmes was tied 22nd, while Jamie Anderson and Toby Murphy also played. And well done to Dylan, Jamie and Will who played for our Mens Senior Cup team today in a great win over Lucan in the Leinster South Area quarter-final.

Isabella Stewart shot a final round of 73 to finish tied 5th in the Munster U18 Girls and Shauna Seifried finished in 12th place after a final round of 79 (Sinead is following you Shauna after a great score today!). Well done ladies!

Up in Tyrone, Ruadhán Murray shot a 77 to finish in 8th place in the Ulster U14 Boys. Ruadhán will make his interprovincial debut in 2 weeks time for the Leinster U14s when they play Ulster. Well done Ruadhán!
