Dundalk Golf Club notes
The latest results from Dundalk Golf Club and the Dundalk Ladies Spring League
The novelty and challenge of playing with just a handful of clubs in your bag proved no handicap for Frank Byrne who adapted well to the format to emerge the winner of the Five-Club Competition sponsored by Fairways SuperValu played over Saturday, February 17 and Sunday February 18.
Frank, playing off 10, posted the weekend’s best score of 36 points in the competition which was played over 14 holes.
A solid par on the first hole for three points was followed by a par four on the third and back-to-back pars on the fifth and sixth holes before birding the demanding, water guarded, par five seventh for four points.
He finished with a flourish of pars on the four finishing holes, boosting his score by a further ten points.
His nearest challenger was Conor McClenaghan, playing off 14, who finished one behind on 35 points.
After a stuttering start, Conor went on an impressive run of pars from the fifth to the ninth holes to turn on 20 points.
He went on to birdie the par five tenth hole for four points before finishing with pars on the 12th, 13th and 14th holes, each delivering three-pointers.
The 2024 Captains Drive-In will take place at 3.45pm this Sunday, March 3. The event will be preceded by a Team competition with a 9am shotgun start and two mixed foursomes competitions on the front and back nines which will have a 1pm shotgun start. Bookings now open on BRS.
