CONDOLENCES

There was sadness in the club when the death of Frank Mullins was announced. Frank was a long-standing member and played golf daily in Cahir Park up to winter of 2022. Sincere sympathy is extended to his family and friends and golfing partners.

There was further sadness when the death of past member, Breda Foley (nee McGrath), was announced. Breda was held in high regard and made many contributions to ladies teams, including the ladies minor team in 1999 which won Munster and Breda was also part of the winning 2005 Miele All-Ireland Fourball Team. Sincere sympathy is extended to the Foley and McGrath families. May the souls of Frank and Breda rest in peace.

LADIES RESULTS

Following a stop-start week of golf due to poor weather conditions, the ladies played a 9 hole competition during the week of Monday 13th to Sunday, 19th March.

The result was decided on countback with both ladies scoring 19pts. Congratulations to the winner, Breda Keating (H/C 18) and in 2nd, Imelda Fitzpatrick (H/C 24).
