Club Notes - 13/09/2026

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. Congratulations all round. In other news Moate All Whites made it to their first Westmeath SFC semi-final in 29 years which I am sure has made a lot of our members very happy.

RESULTS – Masterstone (V Par) 13/09/2026: 1st Overall: Paddy Coyne (17) 7 up,  1st Cat 1: Mark Dolan (5) 4 up, 1st Cat 2: Gearoid Lynam (12) 2 up, 1st Cat 3: Vincent Rickard (15) 4 up, 1st Cat 4: Conor Costello (22) 4 up, 1st Ladies: Caroline Farrell (12) 3 down, Front 9: Keith Murphy (19) 4 up, Back 9: Denis Cronin (12) 4 up.  

Kevin Allen & Willie Colgan in V-Par action on Sunday. 

JM Thursday Open (Stableford) 10/09/2026: 1st Lee Scanlon (1) 37pts, 2nd 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 20th 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 3rd 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 3rd on 119pts. We have now had 393 scores returned from around 61 clubs. The final has been confirmed for Sunday 4th October at 1pm so the last day for qualifying is Thursday 1st 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!

Some 232 members have recorded points in this years GOTY which is pretty impressive.

David Delaney finds a spot to look in on the green. 

JM THURSDAY OPEN 2026 – This table has already been updated online so thanks to Padraig Keenan for adding that. No changes on the top 24 from last week in any event.

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

PRESENTATION – Prizes for recent competitions and the Club Classic will be given out on Sunday 13th September at 5pm. We appreciate it’s a bit later than expected but we had the Junior All Ireland Finals recently and we were all focused on that. Of course that was a great success and a credit to everyone in the club. Winners and sponsors will be invited during the coming week.

MIXED SCRAMBLE AKA FUN FRIDAYS – A note from Lady Captain Kay Gantley – We had our last ‘Fun Friday’ Scramble on Friday evening last. Thanks to Anne, Betty, Kathy & Eleanor for their beautiful food. ‘Fun Fridays’ were a great success and thanks to all who played over the last 19 weeks. We had great fun and getting birdies was a new experience for most of us. We had some great turnouts with 33 on a couple of occasions. It was a great way to meet members and encourage newer members to feel part of the club. Thanks to the men who took part ye added experience and skill to the teams (sometimes). Thanks to all of you for your help in setting up our tea room, cleaning down afterwards and of course locking up!

 

Congratulations to Callum Dunne and his soccer team Kings Domain who are State 4 League Champions down in Melbourne. laughheart
