The severe bad weather of the past week led to the closure of most golf courses across the county. This resulted in the cancellation of scheduled club competitions for the third time in recent weeks.

EAST CLARE GOLF CLUB

Last Wednesday’s ladies’ competition at East Clare was won by Margaret Lynch, McCarthy, Mary Farrell, and Phil Bourke from Maureen Clune, Geraldine Condren, and Pauline Nugent.

In the senior men’s competition on Tuesday, the winners were Ted Harrington, Steve Lynch, and Ailbe McDonnell from Seamus O’Dwyer, Nick Obolewicz, and Donal Fleming, with third spot filled by Teddy O’Hanlon, Jim Willis, and Tony Nelson.

Last week’s men’s 14-hole Stableford competition was won by Teddy O’Hanlon with 34 points, followed by Seamus O’Dwyer with 32 points.

The Captain’s drive-in will take place on Monday next, February 3, and all members extend good wishes to captains Helen Downey and Paul Hayes, as well as to president Teddy O’Hanlon, in their new roles for 2025.

ENNIS GOLF CLUB

Last week’s ladies’ 13-hole Stableford competition at Ennis saw three players return 26 points. On a countback, Anne Marie Darmody (31) took first place, followed by Sinead O’Sullivan (46), with vice captain Mary T. McMahon (14) in third place.

The 8-hole competition was won by Mary O’Halloran (18) with 14 points, just ahead of Mary Leahy (17), who had a similar score.

WOODSTOCK GOLF CLUB

Round 2 in the Ozone Health & Fitness Spring League at Woodstock, postponed from last week, will go ahead this weekend, weather permitting.

The format will be Modified Better Ball (1 to score at Par 4s, 2 to score at Par 3s—play own ball—and 2 to score at Par 5s). There will also be a club singles competition over 15 holes.

Both competitions can be played over the four days of the Bank Holiday weekend. Teams can still enter the league at this stage.
