CLUB MATTERS

Last years Captain Joe Pollard and Club Treasurer Robert Reid showing off their new buckskin hats recently and wondering will they pass the dress code. Joe is at the right side of the fence as only golfers are allowed on the other side. I wonder how Robert got there (someone must have left the gate open).

Carol Fleming, a member of our office staff about to get her first driving lesson recently. I always thought you had to sit on the drivers side to drive a car, maybe the instructor knows something. So if you see Carol on your travels give her a wave and keep well in on your side of the road (if you can).

FRED DALY COMPETITION IN THURLES
On Friday, the 17th April eight of our juniors travelled to Thurles to take on the Thurles juniors in the Fred Daly tournament. On the day, the more experienced Thurles lads proved too strong for our young team who played their hearts out and the tricky greens got the better of them on the day. This is a good experience for them as all the team have at least another two years to play at this level. Congratulations to Thurles and good luck to them in the next round against Waterford Castle..

JUNIOR PRO-AM ST HELENS BAY 2009
Easter week was a very hectic week for the junior golfers of Slievenamon. Six juniors travelled to St Helens Bay in Wexford for two days golf in a junior pro-am. Daniel Hickey, Arron Conron and Ronan Fitzgerald played with Howth G.C. professional Mark O'Mahoney, while Aidan Lawless Jnr, Philip Quirke and David Smyth partnered professional Bobby King for the two days golf. What a wonderful experience it was for them especially considering the excellent quality of the course, the friendly and helpful nature of the golf professionals and the high quality of facilities put at the disposal of all the juniors attending the event. Well done to all at St Helens, we will return.
