Ladies Day

Lady Captain looked radiant and the clubhouse was an array of colours as result of the beautiful flower arrangements. The presentation table was beautifully adorned with Galway Crystal prizes the envy of all who participated.

The course was in great shape despite the torrential rain of previous days.

The Lady Captain’s family and friends were all on hand to support and help throughout this special day as well as visiting Lady Captains from nearby clubs. The large entry in the competition is testament to Frances popularity as a “Killymoon Lady” and as Lady Captain.

Having seen the beautiful prizes all competitors were eager to win but unfortunately not every one can be a winner on the day.

The results were closely contested but with an impressive Nett 70 Kate O’Neill took podium position and won the overall competition. Hot on her heels came runner up Carmel Hagan with Nett 71 whilst Avril Marshall followed closely with Nett 72. Lesley McGlaughlin won the prize for best gross with 85.

In the section prizes Section 1 (0-20) was won by Heather Campbell with Nett 74, Section 2 (21-30) was won by Anne Nugent with 75 Nett and in Section 3 (30-36) Virginia O’Kane won with a Nett 76 on a better back nine from Noreen Sheehy.
