Captain's Drive Results

The testing weather conditions did not spoil a great atmosphere and turnout at Dublin Mountain today.
After some deliberation we settled on playing a 4 Player scramble over the 14 Hole par54 course, this left most groups finishing on the 3 hour mark and hopefully not too wet !
The winning team was:
Damian Byrne/Peter Behan/Neville Morgan/Fred Smith scoring a nett 45.4, Ger Brady/Sean Leech/Mick McKeown & Eddie Raethorne finished in 2nd place on 46.9

Barring any further Weather deterioration, the course will be open for play on Saturday/Sunday 5th, Play Orange tees to White Flags using the normal 14th hole Route.

 After the extreme wet winter, Spring has not yet brought a more favourable weather pattern. The 2nd Hole has got only it's 2nd trim since December ! But it is looking good after the Rest and should be back in play in Mid March.

We will continue on the 14 Hole course (with a mix of Full and temp holes) until the annual "Dry Spell" in early to mid March ( Hopefully) !

Winter League Jan Update

Winter League Weeks 8 and 9 Results.

We have just completed the first half of the fixture list and every team has played each other once.  

Panthers (Jimmy Graham and Co) continue to lead the table. But their amazing run of 7 wins out of 7 came to an end last week when their nearest rivals Eagles (Brian Cruise & Co) beat them in the top of the table clash!

 Patriots (James Nolan & Co) and Saints (Kevin Behan & Co) have started a late charge, winning their last two matches.

 This week the Saints take on league leaders Panthers and the Patriots take on Eagles.  Will the Panthers stumble? Can the Saints and Patriots continue their recent form? The Bears (Eoin Boggins & Co) take on the Broncos (Noel Murphy & Co), and win for the Bears could move them into second place.

With nine matches to be settled over the next 8 weeks it is still a wide open competition.

Course Update Fri 15 Jan

 Course will be open for play this weekend Sat 16th / Sun 17th on Temp greens
The competition will be a 14hole Stableford skipping the wettest parts of the course around the 13th,17th & 18th holes. Full details of course Route and indexing posted on Completion Wall in starters room. and here
Course Report:
January looks set to be a difficult month for Golf at DMGC, with December rainfall amounts the highest for over 100 years. The cattle hoof damage on the 17th hole has not recovered yet and combined with the heavy saturation it may be out of play for week or two. Another example is on the 13th, I wanted to move the flag onto the Temporary green before Christmas, but the Temp 13th green and surrounds were wetter than the main green.
Hopefully conditions will improve for next weeks competitions.
