Last week, Virginia Golf Club, had the opportunity to host the East Leinster ILGU Junior Foursomes Match between Seapoint GC Co. Louth and BlackBush GC Co. Meath and to showcase our beautiful course in glorious subshine. Thank you to our lady members who welcomed our visitors and provided tea and lovely home baked goods.
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.

The Chestnut Tree Spring League presentation took place on Friday last where Adrian Kelly accepted the trophy on behalf of his team.

Martin Redmond was the winner of the individual player of competition.

Men's Spring League finished up yesterday with the outcome in doubt up to the very end.
Full results will be published after the Prize-giving in The Chestnut Tree next Friday night.
Thanks to all who participated, it was very well supported.
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.
