SCRATCH MATCHPLAY – Congratulations to Adrian Hiney who won his first Scratch Matchplay at the club beating Oliver Grogan 2&1 in an exciting final.    

2024 GOLFER OF THE YEAR – Dom Fitzpatricks run of good form has coincided with Mark Devery failing to score for a few and there are now 42.5pts between them at the top. The leading 5 remains the same with only Dom scoring. He has 488pts while Mark has 445.5 and Sean Egan comes next with 425pts. The highest new entry to the table is this weekends competition winner John Bray who snags 40pts and there are now 210 members with GOTY points. Three October weekend stablefords remain and we must add in the Club Matchplay points too. 

COURSE CORNER – Once again we appear to be very low on sand bags. Can you please check your golf bags, car boots and sheds and return them to the stand. We are now placing on the fairway only and non-counting is probably not far away but we will keep everyone informed of further changes when the time comes. As a result of recent drainage work please treat any heavy track marks and uncovered ground as G.U.R.

Spot the difference!  

CATERING NEWS – It is with some disappointment that we have to announce that we are now without catering in our restaurant. Pat & Marie Cooney have announced their immediate departure and we are now looking for an alternative. All enquiries to the Management Committee Hon. Secretary Andy Dunne via moategolfclub@outlook.com please.

ANDY’S ARCHIVE – We have another treble batch of historic news items from Offaly Independents dated 28/04/1934 & 16/09/1967, followed by a Westmeath Independent of 05/11/1971.  

1934 – “ Mr. William Cox, N.T., Church Street, Moate, has been appointed N.T., Annagh Schools, replacing Miss M.A. McCormack, whose wedding took place on Wednesday, 18^th inst. Mr. Cox, who is an ardent supporter of the G.A.A. and is treasurer of the local club, is a very popular young man. His many friends in Moate wish him every good luck in his new appointment.“

1967 – “Tullamore GC Open Mixed Foursomes. There was quite a good turnout for last Sunday’s open Mixed Foursomes at Brookfield when golfers from many visiting clubs were numbered amongst the competitors. However the premier prize was kept at home by Donal Brady and Mrs. P. Carty who returned a nett 67 ½ to win by four strokes from Mr. and Mrs. O’Connor (Roscommon) who carded 71 ½. The Tullamore flag was also carried to victory in Moate where the local Scratch Cup for 8 to 15 handicaps was won by Paddy Brady whilst the big club event at Brookfield – the Gavin Brothers Trophy – has now been reduced to the final pairing with the issue resting between Vincent Ryan and Willie Hoctor.” 

1971 – “Moate Golf Notes. On Sunday last the prizes at the local golf club were presented by popular local men, Messrs. Patrick Brady and P.C. Lynam. The winner was George Digan by one stroke from George Casey, with Andy McLoughlin third. The prizes were presented to the winners by P.C. Lynam in the clubhouse. George Casey had some compensation later in the evening as he won the 100 Club Draw for £30; second was Michael Dolan and third was Tony Gillivan. Afterwards a very enjoyable party was held in the clubhouse to mark the birthdays of both Mr. Lynam and Mr. Brady. The “special double birthday cake” was enjoyed by a large number of friends, who wished both gentlemen many happy returns.”

The September Week 4 & October Week 1 (13 hole club comp) will be combined due to lack of entries (re weather & sanded greens) last week and is open until Sunday October 6^th.   

2024 GOLFER OF THE YEAR – After the T.A. Dolan competition update Mark Devery remains on 445.5pts and surrenders his long time lead to Dom Fitzpatrick who now has 467pts.

There are 208 members with GOTY points and the latest to join the scoring ranks is Dwayne Farrell on 31pts. The random mention this week is for Michael Gantley who is 92nd with 108pts. The last events to count will be the four remaining stableford weekends in October so still all to play for.

You can do nothing in private these days!! A little problem with his shoes didnt stop Dom Fitzpatrick smashing one down the first fairway on his way to top the table in the GOTY 2024. Mick Young also belted one well down the first! 

PRESENTATION OF PRIZES – A number of great prizes for recent weekend competitions plus the midweek ‘Classic’ events were presented on Thursday 26^th last in the clubhouse. We really do appreciate those of you who attended in person, had someone collect for them (Brendan Daly stood in for quite a few!) or at the very least made apologies in advance. As usual quite a number of prizewinners did not attend, have someone collect or send apologies and they can collect their prizes from the shop in due course.

COURSE CORNER – As you will have seen by now the essential hollow coring and heavy sanding of the greens is well underway. While it may seem a bit inconvenient please bear in mind that the conditions are the same for everyone and the work simply has to be done for the benefit of the members in 2025. The Course Manger (George) and Head Greenkeeper (Kieran) wish to thank all the volunteers who helped on this activity during the week. We are now placing on the fairway only and non-counting is probably not far away but we will keep everyone informed of those changes when the time comes. As a result of recent drainage work please treat any heavy track marks and uncovered ground as G.U.R.

MIDLAND INTERMEDIATE ALLIANCE – It is that time of year again and the Intermediate Alliance starts Sunday October 6^th with an outing in New Forest. Tee times are from 11 to 12.30 and further details are available from Ciaran (086 805 32023) and Paddy (085 248 5177). Past, present and new members of the Alliance are all welcome. The other outings are: Nov 10^th Longford, Dec 8^th Moate, Jan 12^th Mullingar, Feb 9^th Moyvalley, Mar 9^th Mt. Temple (Tbc), Mar 30^th Glasson.

ANDY’S ARCHIVE – We have another hat trick of historic news items this week from an Offaly Independent dated 21/09/1948, followed by Westmeath Examiners of 23/07/2005 and 12/2/2011.

Lady President Theresa then thanked everyone who helped her in her year and on the day and congratulated all the winners. All present then enjoyed a lovely meal provided by the catering staff.

2024 GOLFER OF THE YEAR – After the Moate Meats competition update Mark Devery holds on to the lead with 445.5pts despite not adding to that in the last 3, he can surely hear Dom Fitzpatrick chasing hard now only 5.5pts behind in 2^nd. Sean Egan was otherwise occupied this weekend now in 3^rd on 425pts. The last events to count will be the four remaining stableford weekends in October so still all to play for. In my fourballs battle for the annual fiver, John Smyth is in front on 188pts with Andy Dunne (me) next on 153.5pts, while Ger Coughlan has 137pts and Pat Doyle trails on 63pts.  

Kieran Claffey, Ollie Grogan & John Bray also played on Saturday. 

PRESENTATION OF PRIZES – All outstanding prizes for recent weekend competitions plus the midweek ‘Classic’ events will be presented on Thursday 26^th at 8pm in the clubhouse.

MATCHPLAYS –The Shay Murtagh Precast Club Matchplay Final was won by Ger Heavin 2&1 v Noel Dunne. It is great to see both competitions finished on schedule, unlike 2023! The Scratch Matchplay finalists are Oliver Grogan & Adrian Hiney.

COURSE CORNER – Depending on the weather it is hoped that hollow coring and sanding of the greens will commence on Monday. If a hole is out of play as a result of this work please move on to the next hole showing full respect to the greenkeepers and volunteers carrying out this essential work. For the 13 hole competition if a hole is out of play please play the 14^th and include that score on your card. Although we are not quite at placing on the fairway yet, it is only around the corner. This decision is always made by the Handicap Secretary, Course Manager and / or Head Greenkeeper with appropriate Committee members where necessary so please be patient and there is no need to be ringing the shop or sending late night texts to see if placing is in yet. As a result of recent drainage work please treat any heavy track marks and uncovered ground as G.U.R.

 JUNIORS – There was a fantastic turnout for the Juniors end of season event on Sunday afternoon. Junior Convenor Mick McLoughlin and his team of helpers were delighted and thank all the young golfers, their parents and volunteers who came along on the day.

Great to see Dermot Kenny making a comeback at the weekend! 

MATCHPLAYS –The Shay Murtagh Precast Club Matchplay Final was won by Ger Heavin 2&1 v Noel Dunne. It is great to see both this and the Scotch Foursomes finished on schedule, unlike 2023! The Scratch Matchplay finalists are Oliver Grogan & Adrian Hiney.

Well normal service has resumed and we had a super week filled with golf. Unfortunately Rory McIlroy was pipped in the Irish Open and Europe lost the Solheim Cup despite Leona Maguire finding form on the last day.
