A big weekend of  golf with Leona Maguire helping Europe to win the Solheim Cup and former Moate Golf Club junior member Shane Lowry annihilating the field in the Irish Open.

JM Thursday Open (Stableford) 10/09/2026: 1^st Lee Scanlon (1) 37pts, 2^nd Kieran Claffey (6) 34pts.

It has been a while since we played with Jimmy Kassaris so had to take a photo of the occasion. 

FUTURE COMPETITIONS – Next weekend we have a club stableford sponsored by our friends in the Grand Hotel Moate. The next JM Thursday Open qualifier is on the 17th and the fifteenth fortnightly 13 hole of 2026 ends Sunday 20^th September and this can be played any day.

GOTY 2026 – The up to date table online includes todays Masterstone V-Par competition. I don’t think it was as complicated for Padraig Keenan to update the table as it was for members to remember their school algebra for marking a V Par card! Our long time leader Gearoid Lynam has extended his lead once again and he now has 549pts, with George Garvey next on 443.5pts and Kieran Claffey back in 3^rd with 366.5pts. An impressive 242 members have recorded points in this years GOTY.

John Smyth watches Paul Lyons get ready to strike in the V-Par on Sunday. 

JM THURSDAY OPEN 2026 – Minimal additions to the table and no changes to the top 24 from last week. The lowest qualifying score still sits at 113pts and Gearoid Lynam leads on 124pts just 1pt ahead of  Nathan Dolan with Kieran Claffey & Liam Galvin tied in 3^rd on 119pts. We have now had 393 scores returned from around 61 clubs. The final has been confirmed for Sunday 4^th October at 1pm so the last day for qualifying is Thursday 1^st October.

MATCHPLAYS UPDATE – The Scotch Foursomes, Mixed Foursomes and Shay Murtagh Precast Club Matchplay have all been updated. I’ve been in touch with everyone due to play so all is progressing although some are a little behind.

PRESENTATION – As a result of Shane Lowry’s exploits in the Irish open, prizes for recent competitions and the Club Classic were not given out today as planned and a new date will be communicated ASAP.

On a related matter, I have been busy getting our trophies engraved with a lot of missing names and hopefully this is something we will stay on top of going forward. Athlone Crystal has been doing great work for us and I highly recommend them.

COURSE NEWS – There were a lot of unrepaired pitch marks, unraked bunkers and neglected divots at the weekend which is such a shame as the rest of the course is in excellent condition. Everyone knows how to use a pitch mark repairer, we provide rakes for the bunkers and sand for the divots so it really, really puzzles me as to why people don’t make use of them.

I hope the Moate Tidy Towns Team - who do fantasic work by the way - dont mind that I borrowed this one of Martin Horan causing a diversion on Saturday!
