Frank Keyes was a popular winner of the Jubilee Cup as he rolled back the years and took Route 66 to win by one shot from Neil O’Mara (23).
Playing off 31, he shot 97 gross for a nett 66, with excellent pars at the par-five seventh, the par-three 17th, and the par-four 18th, as he went out in 49 gross and came home in 48 gross.
Those two pars on the final two holes proved vital for Keyes in edging out O’Mara for the top prize as O’Mara finished with two bogeys after a round that included four pars and a birdie four at the sixth as the 23 handicapper went around in 90 gross for a nett 67.
O’Mara took Division 3 by two shots from Gerry Byrne (22) while Ciaran Sheridan (7) took Division 1 on countback from Niall Martin (7) after both had shot 69 gross.
Ciaran Daly (14) won Division 2 with 68 nett, which was one better than Declan Muckian (15), while the gross prize went to Caolan Rafferty, whose four under par round of 68 featured four successive birdies from the 12th to 15th as well as birdies at the seventh and the 18th where he drove the final green from the tee.
The Jubilee Cup run in conjunction with the 3Ts Charity event, and thanks are extended to all the players who entered.
Michael Flynn, playing off 12, won the Wednesday Open with a super round of 40pts that included a brilliant back nine that saw him par eight of the homeward holes.
He had covered the front nine in 17pts thanks to a four-point birdie three at the third and a three -point par at the first.
Flynn began the back nine with three successive three-point pars and had two more at the 16th and 18th as he came home in 23pts for his 40pts total.
A visitor from Spa Golf Club in County Down, EJ McConnell (24) also shot 40pts but was edged out by that back nine performance from Flynn, although he did have the consolation of winning Division 3.
Joe McGeown (13) with 38pts won Division 1 while Mark Coan (22) won Division 2 with the same total. Gross Recognition went to Joseph Laverty, whose 34pts was bookended by birdies at the opening and closing holes as well as the sixth and 12th.

The Junior Cup team’s bid to reach a third Leinster North final in five years came up short when they lost 3-2.

Dundalk Golf Club Ladies
Lady Captain’s Charity in aid of St. Vincent De Paul Saturday 18 and Tuesday 21 July
Lady Captain, Leones Charity Team Competition was played on Saturday 18 July and Tuesday 21 July 2026.
The competition was very generously sponsored by Lady Captain’s sister Anne McEntegart and her husband Eugene from Smyths Life Pharmacy.
Lady Captain chose St Vincent de Paul as her charity because its work reaches right into the heart of our community, here in Dundalk and the surrounding areas. SVP offer practical, confidential and compassionate support to people and families who are facing difficult times.
For some, that support may mean help with food, heating, electricity, school costs, household bills or everyday essentials.
SVP volunteers give their time quietly and generously, visiting people with respect, kindness, discretion and without judgment.
Lady Captain thanked the SVP volunteers for the remarkable work they do throughout the year. Much of their work is unseen, but its impact is deeply felt.
She also thanked everybody involved in organising the day's event, including her committee, club staff, ticket sellers, but especially her sister and brother-in-law for their very generous sponsorship of the prizes and for their generous donation of topping up the overall amount raised to €10,000 on the night, which we all know will be put to very good use.
