July 31st: Can a Captain win his own Captains Prize? We will have to have a special meeting of the committee to scour the rule book, however the Captain is peaking at the right time of the year and also has been consistent all year. Someone break his 5 iron. 1st: Captain Gary Corcoran, Category 1: Liam Brady, Category 2: Mattie Cahill, Category 3: Sean Sheridan. Well done all.

 

August 7th: This months medal was fiercely competitive as usual  but the proud winner of a new shiny medal is Thomas Boyle with a score of 64. Congratulations Thomas. Category 1 winner: P. Callaghan, Category 2 winner: D. Sheckelton, Category 3 winner: P. Brady. Well done all.

 

Mid Week Warriors: Despite the snow on the roofs their is always fire in the hearths of our mid week warriors as they compete with gusto for their weekly prizes. July 26th: 1st. Lorraine O'Brien, Sheila Courtney, Vincent Lee, Frank Fahy. August 2nd. 1st Isobel Davidson, Pat Fitzpatrick, Barney O'Reilly and Vincent Lee. Well done guys.

 

Upcoming Captains Prize: All the members and committees of Virginia Golf Club would like to wish our Captain, Gary Corcoran all the best in his upcoming Captains Prize.

Mens Results July 24th:

In a world that seems to be increasingly going mad, the halcyon shore line of Lough Ramor allows its members drive up its leaf canopied drive way and forget the trials and tribulations outside the gates. Now we still might encounter trials and tribulations on the course but in the larger scheme of things, there irrelevant, and the enjoyment that this game and the social golf club were members of, is reward in itself. Still however there are even greater winners every week and this weeks tour de force in the yellow jerseys were the pairing of Liam Brady and Pat Connell with 46pts only pipping the pairing of Alan Rock and Viv Connell on a count back. Well done all.

PLEASE NOTE the timesheet for the Captains prize is now in the clubhouse and get your name down early as this is the one that everyone wants to win. Over the years the good, the great and the plain lucky have seen their name in lights and this year it could be you. Can the PRO come last (actually last) 3 years running? Only time will tell.

Mid Week Warriors: As the great Morton Shaevitz says, "You may be on the back nine of life but its good to finish strong!" thankfully in Virginia we only have 9 holes so this is irrelevant for our senior golfers. Last weeks worthy winners were, 1st Olivia Monaghan, Pat Murphy, Mike Brown 57.9. 2nd Kitty Cogan, Eva Williams, Gerry Eagleton, Frank Fahy 61.0.

July 17th: In a weekend that saw the Dubs saunter to another Leinster title, another Dublin giant strode across the competition to see himself at the top of the tree at the end of this weekends play. This man was our competitions secretary James O'Brien. Methodical in technique and all things competition, James would have reveled in the regulatory accounting needed to separate the pack this week with himself beating Patrick Connell and the venerable Captain Gary Corcoran by a count back. Well Done James, peaking at a good time of the year.

MID WEEK WARRIORS: Our Seniors continue to dominate the flora and fauna of our course with more extensive coverage than Japanese knot weed. Unlike that pesky invader their presence and skill gives hope to all us duffers in the club that there is always time to improve and this game does not view age as a boundary to success. The last two scrambles have been won by the following teams: July 5 - 1st P. Hutchinson, P. Fitzpatrick, L. Cotter, N. Maguire 61.1, 2nd  E Williams, S. Galligan, P.McCullough, F. O'Reilly 61.5. July 13 - 1st B. O'Reilly, J. Clarke, P. Fitzpatrick 58.4, 2nd E Davidson, P McCullough, P. Curran 62.7. Well done as always to all competitors.
