The big man from over west couldn’t be caught, despite the best efforts of John McNulty and Ger Dalton.
John especially came with a late burst, over the last six weeks, but like his beloved Liverpool FC, he was destined to be the bridesmaid along with Geraldine Dalton. With only three points separating the three of them after fourteen competitions, it really went down to the wire this year, but Peadar as ever, was very consistent and typically scoring 39 pts and 35 pts in the two hamper competitions at the tail end of the season to seal it. It’s been a great a year for him; along with the GOY title, he won the McCrae Cup and Captain's Day earlier in the year. Asked what he put his success down to, he thanked a certain Dublin surgeon who replaced his hip last year. Golfer of the Year Top 20 Final

A little update from the Vardon Lounge, As some of you may know Darren and Valerie Murray had a christening party for their little Baby Caitlin in the Vardon Lounge last Sunday. This function went extremely well as you will see from the reviews on our face book page and the hope is that it will encourage more people to choose the Club as a venue for future events. We have a busy weekend ahead with a local society having their Christmas party in the Clubhouse on Saturday. Our Lady Captain Janice and the Ladies Branch are also having their Christmas party on Saturday evening. So we look forward to a busy weekend ahead. Vardon Lounge Opening Hours For December Wednesday 12 to 5 Saturday 12 to 6 Sunday 12 to 5 Closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day the 24th and 25th December The Club will reopen on St. Stephen’s Day the 26th December from 12 to 5 Normal hours will resume from Friday 28th December to Sunday the 6th January The Bar will always be open for our senior and winter links competitions.
