John O'Keeffe receives 1st Prize from Pat Nagle

Originally from Cork this was like a home game for John and as all the GAA followers know the Cork boy’s are very hard to beat on home ground. John had one disadvantage though in that this was his first time playing Castlemartyr but he did not let this stop him putting together a great score and coming out on top, well done John.

In second place was a man who is no stranger to the winner’s circle this year, our hard working secretary, Clement Hehir continuing his great run of form. In third place was Nick Hayes, Nick must be wondering what he has to do to win in Castlemartyr he finished second last year on a breakdown of the cards and was beaten into third place again this year by the tightest of margins. Maybe next year Nick there is only one place on the podium left, that’s the top spot.

The presentation of prizes took place in the 41 bar in kilmallock on Saturday night and thank you to Jerry and Jacinta for looking after us so well on the night. Thank you to all those who showed up on the night too it is important that we support our sponsors‘.

Captain Pat Nagle presents first place prize to Declan Flynn

A few scouts had gone up to Mallow last week to check out the lie of the land and hoped to gain a small advantage on the day of the outing, that was the theory anyway, our winner had not heard of that theory, Declan Flynn had not picked up a golf club since last September and went out last Saturday and had 44 points. Always a long hitter of the ball Declan brought the rest of his game together on the day and put together an impressive card and away home then to milk the cows, well done Declan hopefully the first of many prizes.

In second place, no stranger to the podium was Sean O Connor although it has been a while since Sean has featured in the top places last Saturday he let it be known that he is still around and playing good golf.
In third place was our captain Pat Nagle again with a very good score. Pat and Sean O Connor were at the very first KGS outing which took place at Mallow all those years ago goes to show you can’t beet experience.

Special mention must be made of Dan Lordan; Dan who is one of our more seasoned campaigners, walked the coarse on Saturday, no buggies for our Dan, anyway Dan finished in sixth showing that age is no barrier when it comes to golf and putting a lot of us to shame who are half his age and had the cheek to complain that we were tired after all the hills. Before I get shot Willie Hayes and Cal O Donnell who are up there with Dan in age also walked on Saturday.

The presentation of prizes took place on Saturday night in Fitzgerald’s bar in Kilmallock thank you to everyone who came along on the night, it is most important that we show our support for our sponsors. There was a draw on the night for those who attended the presentation but who were not in the prizes, the fourball for Mallow was won by Dave Mulcahy. Big thank you to Mike Fitzgerald for looking after us so well on the night.
