ANDY’S ARCHIVE – Another couple of gems from the history pages, firstly from a May 2016 Westmeath Independent and then one from the same publication in January 1945.

2016 – “This year we are having a Senior Scratch Cup to go along with our popular Junior, Intermediate and Minor Scratch Cups on 28^th/29^th May. The Senior’ event for handicaps 0-3 will be over 36 holes on Sunday 29^th and pre-booking / payment is essential for this section. Joe Digan of Spar Express in Moate is once again generously sponsoring these competitions and we are very grateful for his continued support. The Thursday Open is proving very popular and we hope this continues to be the case on the 19^th. The Lanzarote Open singles stableford qualifier continues. Remember 12 get through to the final each month from April to July with the overall winner getting a holiday in Lanzarote. A fabulous 2^nd prize has now been confirmed as a weekend for 2 (with evening meal & golf) at Faithlegg Hotel & Golf Club in Waterford.”

1945 – “There was a large attendance at a Whist Drive held at the golf club, on the 12^th inst, when a very enjoyable entertainment took place, and the winners were:- 1^st prize, Mr. B. Kiernan, Moate; 2^nd prize, Mr. M. Rourke, do.; 3^rd prize, Miss Rourke, do. After the drive, patrons were entertained by the members to a highly appreciated and enjoyable social.

At the prize presentation last Friday night the family of the recently departed Johnny Mullally were very appreciative of the tree planted down behind the 2^nd tee box, and for the creation of the Johnny Mullally Memorial which was played recently. The new caterers did a mighty job and they can’t wait to see you upstairs in The Eagles Nest for food and drink after your golfing exertions. It was disappointing however that once again the majority of prize winners did not attend and while we appreciate those who did we must appeal to everyone to support the work that goes into these nights by actually turning up.
