The Castle Conquers the Fair Fort

1/7/2022

An away draw against Castlerock was always going to be an uphill battle but the Dunfanaghy team put up a mighty fight. Having secured two magnificent home victories by Brendan McGrath & Sandra McGinley (3&2) and Daniel McColgan & Mary Lafferty (6&5), it was left to the Dunfanaghy pairings of Peadar & Sadie-Marie Curran, Brian Dolan & Heather Hamilton and team captain Bill McCallion playing with Deirdre Farry to take on Castlerock on their home turf. Husband and wife Peadar & Sadie-Marie put up a tremendous fight but were beaten on the 16th. Brian & Heather, who had lead for much of their round, were eventually edged out on the 17th. Bill & Deirdre were locked in a titanic battle with their Castlerock duo which had included an eagle 2 at the par 4 6th hole. All square on the 16th tee, Deidre almost holed her tee shot for a gimme birdie to win the hole. Castlerock responded with a superb par on the challenging 17th. All square and all to play for as the 2 couples headed for the 18th tee now followed by a sizeable crowd. The Castlerock duo couldn’t have played the hole any better with a superb drive followed by a magnificent mid iron to the heart of the green -  a nailed on par. Dunfanaghy bounced back when Deirdre pitched superbly to the elevated green leaving Bill with a challenging downhill 15 footer to force a play-off. Putt just missed, victory was handed to Castlerock. The matches were played with tremendous spirit and sportsmanship. We would like to thank our Dunfanaghy team-mates for their commitment and camaraderie and we wish Castlerock every success in the 4th round.
Bill & Paula McCallion, 
team captains

President's Day 2022

28/6/2022

Saturday 25th June was President’s Day at Dunfanaghy Golf Club. Up to 2022, wider golf rules dictated that golf clubs should have separate events for ladies and gentleman. Happily, a more enlightened directive has appeared and under the One Club, President’s Day is now a gender-neutral event. Congratulations to Tony McGilloway on this special and historic day.

It was unfortunate that the weather did not appear to be aware that history was being made, as those who teed off around lunchtime were subjected to deluges of biblical proportions and gusting winds of over 40 kmph. Despite the inclement conditions, more than 100 players pegged up to try and win this prestigious title. Each President is allowed to dictate the format for the day and Tony’s choice was well considered. He opted for 18 holes Stableford on Saturday with the top 20, and those tied for 20th position, going through to qualify for another 18 holes on Sunday, with accumulated points over the 2 days deciding the winner.

After the first 18 holes, Bobby Carey led the field with Aidan Fox on 39pts. Tucked in behind was Paddy McMullan on 38, ahead of a number of players on 36 points. 27 players qualified for Sunday’s play-off and it was great to see all sections of the club represented - Barbara Eakin and Mary Lafferty represented the ladies, Carlos and Edward O’Reilly and Tom McClintock, the youth membership and Nigel Doherty, Brian Dolan, Michael Kelly and Dan Devine, past Captains, Presidents and Committee members.

Although Sunday morning initially looked unpromising, the conditions in the afternoon fortunately turned out to be much more benign than Saturday and Bobby Carey consolidated his position at the top of the leader board. He was crowned champion with a magnificent 74 points. At the presentation of prizes on Sunday evening, Tony spoke eloquently and thanked the players, his friends, the ground staff, Ger Dalton for officiating, Ryan, Ciara the staff of the 19th Bar and Bistro for the exceptional food and service.

The Paul McGinley Cup

16/6/2022

Calling all Parents and Guardians,
It's the summer time again and we are getting ready to run the prestigious Paul McGinley Cup competition for the Junior members. This has been running for several years and each season sees growing numbers, where last year we had almost 50 players across different age groups and categories.

The 2021 season saw Lucas Wood win the Cup. Bearing in mind, Lucas had to see off various Ulster and Irish players, this was an excellent and well-deserved result. His eloquent words at the awards were just as impressive as his fine performance on the course.

For 2022, if you have a child (or know of a child) aged under 18 and has a valid golf handicap, please send their details to jonny_mcclintock5@hotmail.com.

We'll run this competition over the next few months and hopefully have the finals in early September. Once we know the number of players entered and handicaps, then we'll be in contact with format and dates for matches to be played.

Regards,


The Junior Committee
