The rub of the green was with Pamela Clinton on a bright and sunny St Patrick’s Day in Portsalon Golf Club. Her 7 pars saw Lady Captain Noreen McConigley pipped at the post by one point this week. One can’t ignore the last 7 holes of Claire McGonigle either, having recorded 4 pars and 3 birdies. While St Patrick may have banished snakes and the occasional birdie, he also took care of the mats as well, as we saw a welcome return to the fairways. There were floats galore all over the country and indeed one or two little white balls got into the spirit of the day at the 2nd. But that’s what retrievers were invented for! Ladies Winter Links Captains Day Thursday 28th March. There is a list of those who qualify for the main prizes, with a minimum 3 card entries, on the notice board in the ladies locker room. All other players, including those who join on the Captain’s Day, will compete for the ‘non qualifying’ prizes. Regardless of qualifying status, the 2’s pot will be divided evenly between anyone who records a 2 on a Par 3. Call the PRO shop 074 – 91 – 59459 to book your tee time or use the BRS system.

Lady Captain Noreen, and the ladies wish to congratulate and send good wishes to our ladies Hon Secretary Anne Speedieon her appointment as President of Moyola Park Golf Club in Castledawson. It is an incredible recognition of Anne’s dedication and enthusiasm for the game of golf, as she becomes the very first Lady President of Moyola Park Golf Club. Her commitment and experience to ladies golf in Portsalon Golf Club has been in evidence for many years. It was all roses on Mother’s Day as Deirdre O’Toole took the honours from Lady Captain Noreen with 9 Pars and a super Birdie on the 7th. Although a little chilly, the rain stayed away, keeping the greens nice & dry! Speaking of greens, there will be a St Patrick’s weekend Open for Ladies and Gents on the 18th March. Any lady wondering if they have qualifying cards in for the Captain’s Day of the Links on the 28th March, can check the list on the board in the Ladies Locker Room. 3 cards or more are required to qualify. Anyone who has 2 cards or less, or indeed joins the links on the Captain’s Day will compete for the non-qualifying prizes.

Pack your beloved mats away from St Patrick’s weekend, as we move back to playing on fairways which have benefitted wonderfully from the winter rest. Keep your eyes open for the Club Matchplay singles competition list in the locker room, as it is hoped to get it up & running in April but that is subject to change at the moment.
