Lady President's Day 2016

Congratulations to Lady President Bernie Flynn on a wonderful day & evening yesterday. Huge congratulations to Margo Keating on winning 1st Prize and indeed to all the other prize-winners on the day. Lovely to see some newcomers in the prizes as well as a few familiar faces :-) Should you have any other photos which you wish to share, please email them to me at vgcsecretary@gmail.com & I'd be happy to share them.

President's Day 2016

Royal Troon played host this weekend to "The Open" well last weekend (July 10th) Virginia Golf Club saw its first major of the year settled convincingly. After Day 1 many members were in contention, with the pressure mounting and the chance of golfing immortality within their grasps. Some rose to the occasion, some crashed and burned, others forgot to put their name on the timesheet (PRO), however when the dust settled one man stood tall and was proclaimed champion. This titan amongst golfers was Terry Smith, beating the field by 5 shots after a solid first round was built upon. Congratulations Terry. In second place was Stephen Coleman with a second round 5 shots better than his first day and in third place by count back was Ray Foley. The presentation was made in the Lakeside Manor and everyone agreed the competition was fierce this year. Well done all, roll on the next major.

Mens Club and Seniors Latest Results

Mens Results: May 15th 2016: If convicts were still sentenced to hard labour they could have had the day off as the sun was splitting the stones on Sunday and our members took advantage of this by rushing to the course to scare the fauna with exposed white legs that the ducks are not the better of yet. As an aside a very famous Disney character made his debut on the big screen on May 15th 1928, and I am in no way suggesting the golf of our members this weekend was “Mickey Mouse” in its nature but only mad dogs and Englishmen come out in the midday sun! Three men however rose above the chaff and claimed immortality. They were: 1st Philip Coleman with 58 nett, 2nd Ronan Briody 60 nett and 3rd Our Glorious Leader Gary Corcoran with 61nett. Gentlemen we salute you.

 

Mid Week Warriors: As usual our “Senior” members put the rest of us to shame with their competitiveness and participation, as the weekly scrambles continue under the watchful eye of Finbarr O’Reilly. Last weeks winning team was in first place: Maura Tierney, Mary Hopkins, Peter Curran, Canice Hogan with a score of 55.8 and in second place Angela O’Dwyer, Brian O’Brien, Pat Fitzpatrick and the ringmaster of retirees himself Finbarr O’Reilly. Well done all and well done Finbarr on the continued organisation.

 

Club Classic: Ladies and Gentleman our club classic is being held the 3/4/5 of June and is a 4 person team scramble costing €100 per team. There are more prizes than you can shake a stick at, in fact you will be genuinely disappointed if you do not win one. This Classic is not just a fantastic and essential fund raiser for the club it is also a great way for us to show golfing friends and family what a social, welcoming club we are, so get involved and have a great day. Please note the PRO will also be attempting on the day to beat his ham sandwich consumption record set last year.

Mid Week Wrinkly Warriors

The level of golf has improved dramtically in the last couple of weeks with the return of our Seniors for their midweek competitions. These competitions under the supervision of Finbarr O'Reilly are a great success and a wonderful testimony to his organisational skills and motivational techniques to get such great numbers in attendance. The latest outing saw the team of Maura Tierney, Marua Hopkins, Peter Curran and Canice Hogan in first place pipping the team of ANgela O'Dwyer, Brian O'Brien, Pat Fitzpatrick and Finbarr himself. Well done all.
