INTERCLUB 2026 – Not the best weekend the club has ever had on the interclub front by a long way. We had four teams in action and all four teams were eliminated. The Duggan Cup lads lost 3.5 – 1.5 v Mt. Temple on Saturday before a Sunday triple whammy! The Ladies Junior Cup team was beaten by Tullamore, the men’s Central Towns side lost to Nenagh and the men’s Pierce Purcell match v Abbeyleix went to a play-off down there and we came out on the wrong side of the result. Hard luck to all involved and thank you on behalf of the club to all the managers and players who gave substantial time into representing the club.

George Garvey, Sean Egan & Mike Hiney on Central Towns duty in Nenagh. 

 

COURSE CORNER –Thanks a million to Noel Mulligans volunteers group who continue to devote a lot of time to the course. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated. It is vital that everyone remembers to repair divots and pitchmarks as well as ensuring the bunkers are raked every time you frequent them.

GOTY 2026 – Scores from the Blues Stableford competition have been added in on the website. Thanks Padraig for all that you do. Gearoid Lynam extends his lead to 66pts with another impressive placing at the weekend. John Smyth climbs to 4^th on 263pts keeping the pressure on PJ McCormack & George Garvey in 2^nd and 3^rd with 348pts & 274pts. There are 205 players with points and we have a random shout out this week to 66^th placed Jonathan Crozier on 72pts.  

I wonder has he had any offers yet for the 15th tee box? Might sell a few more if he has! 

JM THURSDAY OPEN 2026 – The 2026 table has also been updated on the website. The top 3 remain the same as before with Tommy Weir on 118pts, Nathan Dolan 117pts and tied 3^rd Liam Galvin & Mick McLoughlin on 114pts. Leading Lady Joan Molloy has 110pts in T11th.  We’ve now had 236 entrants recording points from at least 35 clubs. Remember your best 3 scores count and the top 21 plus ties qualify for the final. At the moment we have 227 in those spots with 107 now being the minimum required.

MATCHPLAYS UPDATE – This unfortunately remains on my to do list. Not sure what has happened to the requested poster for the locker room but the Club Mixed, Shay Murtagh Precast Concrete Club Matchplay and the Scotch Foursomes will all be added to the website as soon as possible. Please ensure your rounds are finished by the specified dates and please forward results to Andy Dunne (086 055 6336). There will be some texts issued to stragglers this week. Remember that both sides of the draw have equal responsibility to get the game played so unless you want it to come to a coin toss or double elimination, get the match organised.

FUN FRIDAY SCRAMBLE – 33 took part last week and the winning team was Maura Igoe, Martin Hogan & Anne Casey. In 2^nd Beth Dunne, Bert Burke & Mary Carolan who finished just a shot behind. Timesheet has been booked in for 6pm on Friday 10^th July. Draw takes place just beforehand.  Postponed as it is Captains Prize at the weekend.

INTERCLUB 2026 –   The Irish Boys (Juniors) team did the club proud in the Leinster Central area qualifier in Athy, Co. Kildare last Monday. Well done to Luke, Ronan, Tommy, Nathan & James who finished 5^th of 28 in a very tough Leinster Central zone. In an U15 match v Mullingar we won 3-0 with a very impressive performance. Well done to Taylor, Nathan (again) and Gearoid.

The Ladies Boyne Trophy side were very unfortunate to lose a 19^th hole playoff v Knightsbrook on Sunday and I believe our Leinster Trophy team run also ended on Friday.  

Next weekend the Duggan Cup team play Mt. Temple on Saturday and on Sunday we have a Pierce Purcell match v Abbeyleix and the Central Towns are also playing. On the Ladies side their Junior Cup team meet Tullamore.

CLASSIC GALLERY 2 -

Brendan Stanley, Vincent Rickard, John Naughton & Pat Fox. 4. Why have one Dolan on your team when you can have four. Dessie, Nathan, David & Gary turned out. 5. The 17th. 

 

COURSE CORNER –Thanks a million to Noel Mulligans ever active volunteers group who devoted a lot of time to the bunkers recently. I hear lads are retiring early so they can join the group! Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated. On another note, it is really important that people stop using their putters to retrieve the ball from the hole. We appreciate that we all have different physiques that might make it difficult at times but you can get a sucker for the end of your putter that does a great job.

Mike Hiney & myself had the same idea for a shot of the water feature! 

GOTY 2026 – No counting competition for last week.  

Pat Byrne - who needs a putter when you can chip them in! 

JM THURSDAY OPEN 2026 – The 2026 table will soon be updated on the website. The top 3 remain the same as before with Tommy Weir on 118pts, Nathan Dolan moves 1pt closer with 117pts and still tied 3^rd are Liam Galvin & Mick McLoughlin on 114pts. Leading Lady Joan Molloy has 110pts in 11th.  We’ve now had 214 entrants recording points from at least 34 clubs. Remember your best 3 scores count and the top 21 plus ties qualify for the final. At the moment we have 23 in those spots with 106 now being the minimum required. James Dolan, Michael Kelly & James Cafferty are the new owners of the bubble spot.  

MATCHPLAYS UPDATE – This is still on my to do list. Not sure what has happened to the requested poster for the locker room but the Club Mixed, Shay Murtagh Precast Concrete Club Matchplay and the Scotch Foursomes will all be added to the website as soon as possible. Please ensure your rounds are finished by the specified dates and please forward results to Andy Dunne (086 055 6336). There will be some texts issued to stragglers this week. Remember that both sides of the draw have equal responsibility to get the game played so unless you want it to come to a coin toss or double elimination, get the match organised.

Calling all the Senior Scratch guys – very, very last call at that – the draw will be held on Tuesday night (30^th) at the Mens Meeting so if your name is not on the list by then you won’t be included.

Congratulations to the Boyne Trophy team who beat Portarlington on Monday last. We wish them the best of luck when they Play Knightbrook on Saturday next.

There is no ladies competition on Wednesday 24^th as the Mini Festival of Golf 2 person scramble is being played on the day.

PRESENTATION GALLERY – Starting with this as though we are very appreciative of those who showed up at Sunday evenings presentation it must be said that the numbers attending to collect their prizes continues to disappoint. There is a huge amount of work involved in organising the prizes and arranging for sponsors to attend and no matter what we try - people just dont attend. As a prizewinner who didnt come, think how you would feel if you had put all the effort in only for a minimal number to arrive on the night. 

RESULTS – Shane Kelly’s Vice Captains Prize (Stableford) 21/06/2026: 1^st Overall – Mark Dolan (14) 43pts, 1^st Cat 1 – Gareth Cassidy (8) 38pts, 1^st Cat 2 – Benny Greham (12) 39pts, 1^st Cat 3 – Micheal Fox (14) 39pts, 1^st Cat 4 – Des McLoughlin (26) 41pts, Ladies 1^st – Joan Molloy (14) 36pts, Front 9 – Joe Healy (23) 22pts, Back 9 – Kieran Claffey (12) 21pts.   

Weekend action - Young talents Nathan & Gearoid watch on as Ollie Grogan has a tricky downhill putt on 15th. / Mossy Collins & Michael Lynch Jnr. / Enda Claffey enjoying the sunshine! 

JM Thursday Open (Stableford) 18/06/2026: 1^st Rose Walker - Powerscourt (28) 42pts, 2^nd Kieran Claffey (11) 40pts, 3^rd Sean Bohan (15) 40pts.  

FUTURE COMPETITIONS –Next up it’s the Mini Festival of Golf which starts Wednesday with a 2-Person Scramble, continues Thursday with a 2-Person Better Ball as well as singles stableford (JM Thursday Open) and Friday to Sunday is our Team Classic. 4 per team with 2 to score everywhere. Get your teams in as the time sheet is filling up. The ninth 2026 fortnightly 13 hole runs to Sunday 28^th June.

INTERCLUB 2026 – The Jimmy Bruen side managed by Andrew Rafferty had a nice win over Co. Longford on Friday evening and will face either Killeen or Esker Hills in the Leinster Central semi-final. The Mixed Foursomes bowed out v Craddockstown on Sunday and earlier in the week the Ladies Boyne Trophy team beat Portarlington.  

Good luck to the Irish Boys (Juniors) team who will be playing in the Leinster Central area qualifier in Athy, Co. Kildare on Monday. The slightly older Michael Moore lads are playing Glasson on Sunday 28^th and the Ladies Boyne Trophy side line out again v Knightsbrook on the same day. We are also involved in the Naas Trophy (Saturday) and Leinster Trophy for Ladies (Friday). It’s all go!!

 

COURSE CORNER – We must give credit to the greenkeeping staff as the course is in superb condition and is getting plenty of positive feedback – particularly from visitors who perhaps appreciate it more than those of us who play it all the time. Makes you think how lucky we are to have a fantastic course. To help keep the greens in great shape it is essential to fix all your pitchmarks. On the fairways please fill the divots with the sand provided and remember to bring the bags back to the stand afterwards. The volunteers have been trying – in between the showers – to give the bunkers a good shake up so do your bit by raking up after yourself EVERY TIME.

GOTY 2026 – Thanks to Padraig Keenan for bringing the GOTY table up to date. Talented youngster Gearoid Lynam still leads the way on 385pts but PJ McCormack’s weekend form held up and he closed the gap a bit. George Garvey and Kieran Claffey both scored also and have 274pts & 260pts respectively pulling away a little from John Smyth & Rory Minagh who are tied 5^th on 232pts.

JM THURSDAY OPEN 2026 – The 2026 table has also been updated on the website. The top 3 remain the same as before with Tommy Weir out in front on 118pts, Nathan Dolan next on 116pts and tied 3^rd are Liam Galvin & Mick McLoughlin on 114pts. There is a new Leading Lady in Joan Molloy on 110pts.  We’ve now had 200 entrants recording points from at least 32 clubs. Remember your best 3 scores count and the top 21 plus ties qualify for the final. At the moment we have 23 in those spots with 104 being the minimum required. Padraig Keenan, Liam Lynam & Kieran Claffey are all sitting in a bunch on the bubble.

MATCHPLAYS UPDATE – Due to other commitments like work, the ever growing back garden, the World Cup, watching Wicklow beat Offaly in the Tailteann Cup semi-final (come on, you knew I was getting this in somewhere!)  and about 10 other things I have going on I haven’t got to this as yet but the Club Mixed, Shay Murtagh Precast Concrete Club Matchplay and the Scotch Foursomes will all be added to the website during the week. Please ensure your rounds are finished by the specified dates and please forward results to Andy Dunne (086 055 6336). There will be some texts issued to stragglers tomorrow also. Remember that both sides of the draw have equal responsibility to get the game played so unless you want it to come to a coin toss or double elimination, get the match organised.

Calling all the Senior Scratch guys – last call at that – the draw will be held on Tuesday night so if your name is not on the list by then you won’t be included.

FUN FRIDAY SCRAMBLE – Friday 19^th June was cancelled due to expected rain which then didn’t even appear and next week is off due to the Annual Classic as mentioned above. Watch this space for news about July 3^rd.
