Round 3 of Spring League

Extraordinary is a word that best describes this week’s scoring. The soft underfoot conditions certainly suited our winner Michael Burke (16) who had a brilliant round of 33 points. Our popular & disadvantaged club bookie had a round that dreams are made of with birdies at the 5th & 12th holes and also pars at 7 of the remaining holes. Second was our 2010 Captain Declan Glavin with another great score of 31 points, a bogie on the 11th the only blemish on his card. In third position winning on count back was Liam Carey (15) with 29 points, his highlight being an impressive birdie on the 10th.

Sympathy
The club wishes to express its sincere sympathy to 1985 President and 1997 Captain Ritchie Ormonde Snr and his brother Billy and families on the death of their mother Delia.
Sincerest sympathy to Jerry Crowley and family on the passing of his mother Bridget.
On the passing of former member Tom O’Sullivan, Clogheen Co. Tipperary, the Club offers its sincere sympathy to his wife Mary and family.

Peter Whelan (16) has been in the winning frame nearly every month this year and October will not be an exception. He was third with 65 also, beaten on the back 9. He had 5 pars and 1 birdie ,and the word is he left about 6 putts hanging , so it could have been better. Well done to all.

Declan Glavin (11)continuing his recent good form turned with 19 points with 2 pars and 2 birdies helping his cause after a mediocre start. His back nine of 24 pts consisted of 2 birdies and 5 pars for a level par back 9 holes. This was great golf in a final of such pressure and prestige. Hot on his heels with the same points score was Martin Power (13). He was 2 over on his front 9 with 8 pars and was 4 over on the back 9 with 6 pars.. Playing off 7 and looking like he is enjoying the game is Liam Feeney and he took the Gross prize with 31 pts. He had 11 pars and one birdie with steady golf. In Third position was Martin O’Driscoll (14) with 42 points. Martin played very steady golf also and he turned with 18 points with the help of 3 pars. His back nine showed a massive improvement with 2 birdies and 4 pars for a total of 24 points. The best Qualifier Winner was young Jamie Keating who managed to qualify with 46 pts during the Summer.

In our weekend competition Sponsored by THE ALLROUNDER SPORTS DUNGARVAN we had very good quality and quantity of players of players despite the times taken up by the Super valu competition.
In first place was Sean Buckley with 40 pts . With 5 pars and a birdie on the 3rd par 3 he turned with 20 pts. He also returned with 20 pts with 4 pars and a birdie on index 2 16th. Good golf indeed off his handicap. Liam Feeney was second with 39 pts and in the frame for the second time over the weekend . with 7 pars in the front nine he turned with 20 pts and 5 pars on the back nine he had 19 points. Nice consistent golf from Liam over 2 days. Bernard Dooley had 38 pts , 20 on the front nine and 18 on the back nine. 9 pars overall and one birdie with sensible golf, showing he is well over the broken leg he sustained months ago.

President’s Prize Kindly Presented by Mr Tom O'Donovan.
Last weekend we held our fourth and final major of 2011, Mr. Tom O'Donovan's President prize. The weekend weather forecast was not a pretty sight but overall we got the best of the weather. With the golf course in perfect condition, we were set for a spectacular weekend. For the qualifying rounds the early starters on Friday set the standard with a few tried and proven major winners in the hunt. Leading the way at the end of Friday was Pa Morrissey with a incredible 60. Lurking with intent were current vice President Prize holder Frankie Corcoran & last years President John McGrath on 62. One shot even better was Paddy Lane after a fine round of 61.Saturday saw more of the same with 2010 Captain Declan Glavin shooting a brilliant 63. Former Valley Rangers star Terence Rumley was right in the mix signing for 63. Round on the day on Saturday came courtesy of James Bennett who had a 62. This must be one of the highest standard of qualifying scores for a major in a long time in Lismore. All in all the sense of anticipation on Saturday night for what was to come on Sunday was almost unbearable
Sunday saw ideal conditions which allowed players to go for every shot. Early scores indicated another good scoring day. One of the first in was Ger Ahern with a gross of 72 which would eventually prove to be good enough to take the Gross Prize. Sunday afternoon the real battle commenced, any of ten golfers were in the hunt but Pa Morrissey, Frankie Corcoran and Declan Glavin seemed to be handling the pressure best, steadily going about the job in hand. After 12 holes Pa Morrissey & Frankie Corcoran were only a couple of shots clear and we were set for a grandstand finish. Pa held his nerve and while he pushed all the way by his playing partner Frankie, eventually prevailed. A par on the last saw Pa thrilled to take his this major by two shots with a total of 122. Frankie Corcoran took second place with a super 124 total. Third place went to Declan Glavin carding 126. Fourth went to Paddy Lane with 126 and fifth place went to John McGrath signing for 130. Sixth went to Ballysaggart man James Bennett with a 130 total.
Category A went to Paddy O'Leary 13. Category B went to Lismore man Ritchie Ormonde with 131. Category C went to Martin O'Driscoll with 133. Category D was won by Belvedere Cup stalwart Eamonn Costin with 134.
Best Qualifier went to Terence Rumley with 63. John O'Donovan took Best Sunday with a 65, while Seamus Beecher took the Past President's Prize. The senior prize was won by the popular Dermot O'Leary with 67. Best Junior was the up and coming star Cappoquin’s Dean Whelan with a brilliant 62 beating Junior Captain's Prize winner Eoghan Murray into second place.
We had a fine crowd for the presentation on Sunday night, Captain Michael O'Regan spoke most generously about the President Mr. Tom O'Donovan, how committed, dedicated and hard working he is in his position of President throughout 2011. We have become accustomed to the President making great speeches and at the presentation of his prizes there was no exception. Tom was overjoyed with his weekend and thanked all who helped in the smooth running. He thanked the Captain and Vice President for all their help. Tom praised Shaun Moynihan with the Competition Committee, Sean Daly, Peter Whelan and Eamon O’Shea. He thanked all the course staff, Tony Keane and his crew who had the course in immaculate condition. He thanked Bernie with her excellent staff for all the catering. He praised Anne Bennett in the Bar.
Finally he gave a very special mention to his family for all their support and patience in preparation for his President's Prize weekend.

Pa Morrissey in his delightful acceptance speech was thrilled to win the President's Prize. He thanked all his playing partners. He thanked everybody associated with making the weekend a tremendous success and wished the club the best of luck.

Overall the weekend was a tremendous success; the club would like to thank President Tom for the huge hours he worked to guarantee his weekend ran smoothly. To all the club members and staff who assisted in the preparation and efficient running of the event, well done and thanks.

Captain’s Prize Kindly Presented by Mr Michael O’Regan.

Last weekend we held our third major of 2011 Mr. Michael O’Regan Captain's prize. It’s been a tough couple of weeks on the health front for our popular Captain but it was great to see Michael back with a spring in his step. The weekend weather forecast was not a pretty sight but overall we got the best of the weather with the golf course in perfect shape to match, we were set for a spectacular weekend. For the qualifying rounds the early starters on Friday set the standard with 2004 President Bill Ronayne set the benchmark carding an excellent 62. One shot back on impressive score of 63 was last year’s runner up Cappoquin’s Martin Power and 2003 Captain Paddy O’Leary. Tipperary native Ned Heffernan signed for a tidy 64 well placed for the weekend, with 1997 President Denis McCarthy & Cork man Martin O’Driscoll on 65 blows, well set. Saturday saw more of the same with 2010 Captain Declan Glavin shooting a brilliant 62. Former Nemo football star Colm Murphy was right in the mix signing for 63. Cork men Ger Hayes and Terence Rumbley were well placed with 64’s, also on that mark was Ted O’Leary making an excellent start in the defence of his title. Tallow’s hurling legend Timmy Sheehan signed for 65 as did popular 2009 Captain Maurice Cahillane and 1993 Captain Dave Murphy who it’s wonderful to see has made a great recovery from illness. Lismore’s Pat Morrissey was also well placed on 66, to highlight the quality of the scoring 2010 President Mr. John McGrath 67 blows left him in twentieth spot

Sunday saw extreme windy conditions with any loose shots heavily punished. Knockanore’s Frank Corcoran posted 68 to set a clubhouse target. 2003 Captain Paddy O’Leary played his usual solid golf to copper fasten the gross prize. Sunday afternoon the real battle commenced, any of twenty golfers were lurking but only Martin Power (helped by an eagle on the second), Declan Glavin and Ned Heffernan seemed to be handling the conditions well, steadily going about the job in hand. After 12 holes Martin Power and Ned Heffernan were only a couple of shots clear and we were set for a grandstand finish. But Martin held his nerve and while he pushed all the way by his great friend Declan Glavin, a birdie on the last saw Martin thrilled to take his first major by two shots. Declan Glavin took second place with a super 127 total. Third place went to Ned Heffernan carding 130. Fourth went to Colm Murphy with 131 and Fifth place went to Knockanore man Liam Roche signing for 133, Sixth went to Corkman Martin O’Driscol with a 133 total.
Category A went to Lismore man John Whelan 137. Category B went to another Lismore man Kevin Whelan with 135. Category C went to Dave Murphy with 134. Category D was won by Belvedere Cup stalwart Michael O’Grady with 136.
Best Qualifier went to Glengoura man Bill Ronayne with a 62. 2011 Vice Presidents Prize winner Frank Corcoran took Best Sunday with a 68, while popular 1997 Captain Ritchie Ormonde (snr) took the Past Captain's Prize. The senior prize was won by Lismore’s Alf Barden. Best Junior was the up and coming star Cappoquin’s Eoghan Murray with a brilliant 63, Ryan Corcoran took second spot with 69 and Gavin Pratt won the gross prize.
We had a fine crowd for the presentation on Sunday night, President Tom O’Donovan spoke most generously about the Captain Mr. Michael O’Regan, even with health issues, how committed, dedicated and hard working in his position of Captain throughout 2011. We have become accustomed to the Captain making great speeches and at the presentation of his prizes there was no exception. Michael was overjoyed with his weekend and thanked all who helped in the smooth running. He thanked the President and the Lady Captain for all their help. Michael praised Colm Burke and Shaun Moynihan with the Competition Committee, Sean Daly, Peter Whelan and Eamon O’Shea. The Captain singled out Paddy O’Leary for all his invaluable assistance. He thanked all the course staff, Tony Keane and his crew who had the course in immaculate condition. He thanked Bernie with her excellent staff for all the catering. He praised Anne Bennett in the Bar He also thanked our club cleaner Alice Power as well as Katherine Moynihan and Esther Hornibrook for the most beautiful flowers.
Finally he gave a very special mention to his wife Catherine and his family for all their support and patience in particular for the preparation and over his Captain's Prize weekend.

Martin Power in his delightful acceptance speech was thrilled to realise a lifelong dream to win a major. He thanked all his playing partners. Martin gave a special mention to Paddy O’Leary for his golf tip which proved most helpful. He thanked everybody associated with making the weekend a tremendous success and wished the club the best of luck.

Overall the weekend was a tremendous success; the club would like to thank Captain Mr. Michael O’Regan for the huge hours he worked to guarantee his weekend ran smoothly. To all the club members and staff who assisted in the preparation and efficient running of the event, well done and thanks. Finally as acting PRO and a one time holder of the slow play baton (some years back) this has now been passed on to a former inter county hurling star and a current Ladies inter county manager, both Saturday morning players!

Our season's first major took place this weekend in splendid weather conditions on a course looking magnificent. Many fine scores were carded but at the end of the weekend's play James Clancy emerged victorious. James had a very consistent round with 42 for each nine. The highlight of his round was most definitely a great birdie at the difficult 13th. In second place and a man no stranger to prizes in majors was Jim Cashman with 64. Jim had 5 pars in total, again consistency was the name of the game as he had 41 on the front and 42 on the back. Gross winner and not for the first time was Ger Ahearne. Ger had an unbelievable round of 72, 3 over par. In third place was Eamonn Power. Eamonn fresh from his Category win in the Spring League carded an impressive round of 64. He shot the lights out on the front nine with 36 which was the foundation of his success. Highlight of Eamonn's round was a three at the 9th. In fourth place was Pat O'Brien. Pat played some magnificent golf highlighted by a great birdie on the 8th. Pat also carded 8 pars to finish on 65. In fifth place was competitions man Eamonn O'Shea. Eamonn played some delightful golf and showing scant regard for the 3rd & 9th Eamonn birdied both. His back nine was a model of consistency with 6 pars. Our other prize winners were Cat 1-John Rumley 67, -Cat 2 Eoin Hickey 67, -Cat 3 Gary Baverstock 68, Senior-Christy Hanrahan 70, -Alf Barden Front Nine 30 nett, -Liam Feeney Back Nine 31 Nett.

Tom Fives RIP
It is with deep regret we hear of the death of Mr. Tom Fives of Dromrue, Cappoquin, Co. Waterford. Tom was one of the founders of our Club, twice Captain and a great leader whether on or off the course. Throughout the weekend, members told delightful stories of their experiences in the company of Tom. He was a fine exponent of the game of golf and long before modern day coaching his advice on your swing was invaluable. On behalf of all our members we offer our sincere sympathy to his sister Mary and to all his extended family.
