Ladies News & Results

Mary McDaid Tournament.
The annual tournament for the much sought after Mary McDaid Trophy was won by the ladies from Letterkenny Golf Club on Saturday 14th September. 
Roisin Kerr, daughter of Mary McDaid represented the McDaid family in presenting the trophy, which is in memory of all deceased members of each of the clubs.
The three-ball team format made up of a member from each club, not only are playing for their club but also for their team. The added twist of each team being given the yellow ball, with every team member playing a hole in turn with the said yellow ball until it is either lost, sunk or handed back after the18 holes. The only pressure in golf is the weather. Allegedly!
Speaking of the weather – I would love to say it was a hot humid day, but alas the high winds, and rain persisted throughout. 
However, the day as always produced a great spirit of friendship among the ladies. Congratulations to Letterkenny on their great score.
