New Forest Golf Club

Sunday last was our President, Alex Jackson's prize and there was an excellent entry from the members. The weather on the day was going to make scoring difficultwith a strong wind but after all the scores had been returned we had our 10 qualifiers for our 9 hole play off. Leading the field was Derek Gallagher on a Nett 69 withNine other players were within five shots. This was excellent scoring in testing conditions off the blue markers so well done to all those who made the playoff.As usual the 9 hole play off finishing on the 13th proved dramatic and the golf played was of a high standard. When all the scores were in it was the ever consistent Michael Ennis who posted a Nett 100 who was declared the winner. Michael was the winner of last year's Captain's prize and to follow this with the President's prize is a great achievement for the very popular Kilbeggan man. Well done Michael on a great win and on a fantastic score of level par in the 9 hole playoff.To all those who won prizes congratulations and a word of thanks to all who helped in the preparation and on the day.ResultsWinner: Michael Ennis; Runner-Up: Derek Gallagher; Gross Prize Tom Flanagan; Cat 1: Kevin Brady; Cat 2: Fintan Carton; Cat 3: John Casey.Future EventsSunday CompetitionsWe would like to see more members participating in our Sunday Competitions so the support of all members would be appreciated.Please check the notice board for the upcoming competitions.Fourball MatchplayWe will be running a Fourball Matchplay Club Competition in the coming weeks.
