Dundalk Golf Club notes

Team Tesla, captained by Brendan Keane have extended their lead at the top of the Dundalk Golf Club Precision Cables Winter League to 15pts after week four.

The Winter League resumed after the Christmas Break on the first weekend of the new year, and six of Keane’s team braved the severe weather conditions to send a strong message to the rest of the chasing pack.
