Men's Medal - April 2018

On Sunday 22nd April we had our first Medal completion of the year. A return to stroke play and qualifying meant a different mind-set was required with Gerry Phipps  pulling out all the stops to return a magnificent Nett 58 shots just edging out Adrian Kelly by a single stroke.

Men's Spring League - sponsored by The Chestnut Tree

The Chestnut Tree Spring League presentation took place on Friday last where Adrian Kelly accepted the trophy on behalf of his team. After a titanic battle, interrupted by the weather on multiple occasions, the League finished up with Adrian’s charges finishing a mere 4 points ahead of Teams 1 & 3 captained by Pat Murphy and Vivian Connell, respectively. Martin Redmond was the winner of the individual player of competition.

Men's Spring League Round 5 update

A Bank Holiday weekend provided Virginia Golf Club with an opportunity to dodge the recent bad weather, get in a trip to Croke Park and play Round 5 of our Spring League. Neil Skeffington’s Team came out top this week while the evergreen Eric Davidson took the individual honours.

Next weekend we will have the Captains’ Drive-in with Captain Martin and Lady Captain Marese hosting us all for their ceremonial start to their year. To accommodate this the Round 6 of the Spring League will be played on Thursday (subject to Ladies having the priority on the Course), Friday and Saturday. Round 7, the final Round will be held over the 14th and 15th of April.
