Paudie Lahart wins Monthly Medal
Last weekend’s Monthly Medal Competition saw a fine turnout, and again many thanks to Whelan Butchers of Carrick for sponsoring the competition.
Paudie Lahart (11) was the outstanding winner on 60 points so the gold medal goes to him, Willie McGarry (12) proved no slouch to take 2nd place on 65, with Mike A Moloney (21) in 3rd on 69, while our 16 year old Wunderkind Joe Hawkins (4) took best gross on 76.
It has been a busy week for Joe as he has also agreed to come on board with our Junior Coaching Team. He will be running the place soon so Tony Powell better look to his laurels!
The competition was so well subscribed that a lucky dip was held for a boxes of golf balls, with the 8 chosen being Michael Conway, James Keating, Johnny Quinn, Tom Ryan, Declan McAssey, Michael Griffin, Rory Doherty and Kelvin Ryan.

Sisters of Charity NS, Clonmel, enjoy our Adventure Course
We were delighted to host the Sisters of Charity NS School Tour on Thursday and we may have met the best bunch yet, as the high spirited students swung like monkeys through the Adventure Course, raced each other around the go cart track and tried their hand at our Adventure Golf Course (we are thinking of introducing therapy sessions for the Rock of Cashel Hole).

First Open Day of Season
Looking forward, our Ladies are currently preparing for their 1st Open Day of the Season, which they will be hosting on Tuesday 11 June, and they are hoping for a great turnout.

Silver Jubilee

We are pleased to announce that our Main Sponsor will be the Bodega 1830 in Clonmel, which recently took home the Best Sustainable Practices Award at the Irish Restaurant Awards.
