Thomas takes up his new role as Head Greenkeeper at south Tipperary golf club

New Head Greenkeeper appointed

Having bade a sad farewell to Paul Kenny as he embarks on his new adventures at Hogs Head, it was time to welcome our new Head Greenkeeper to Slievenamon Golf Club.

Thomas Hewitt has joined us via County Tipperary Golf and Country Club, where he worked with the Greenkeeping team for 16 years.

We are delighted to welcome Thomas aboard to join the Slievenamon family.

New General Manager appointed

Another new boy this week is Anthony Powell, who has joined us as our new General Manager. Anthony has arrived brimming with ideas, so we are very interesting to see what excitement is in store for us on this - Slievenamon’s Silver Jubilee year.

Golf at last...

Competitions begin in earnest

Our new additions to the Team heralded some new weather also, which allowed for our Competitions to begin in earnest.

On the Gents side, the Weekend Singles Stableford Competition held on 9 and 10 March resulted in Mike A Moloney taking 1st place with 39 points. 2nd was John Doherty on 37 points while Padraig Lahart took 3rd on 33 points.

In the Ladies Sunday/Tuesday 12 Hole Stableford on 10/12 March,, Geraldine Bartley took home the honours on 24 points.

First mixed outing of 2024

There was a palpable lift in the atmosphere on Monday last, 18th March, when the Slievenamon Mixed Scramble had its first outing for 2024.

Winners were Michael A O’Meara, Con Lucy and Una Creed on 46.8. 2nd were Graham O’Reilly, Anthony Powell (well done, Anthony!) and John J Doyle on 47.6, while Andrew Kelliher, Robert Phelan and Rosemary Lalor came 3rd on 47.7.

In all 30 teams played so it was a fantastic day out, and hopefully the start of many more to come.
