Mens Club Results January 8th

There was a good showing for this Sundays competition with many peoples New Years Resolution being to prove they are actually good golfers, and the scores seemed to match that resolution. In first place was the Captain himself Sean McEvoy setting out his stall early this year, and showing the rest how its done. In second place was Conor McEvoy with Richard McEvoy in third. What a group, from now on they will be known as the Virginia Golf Club Bee Gee's. Special mention to last years Golfer of the Year James O'Brien for another good showing this week. Can he make it 2 years in a row?

Are you overweight? Sick of being stuck in the house? Crave adult conversation or even want to start playing golf? Well membership of Virginia Golf Club will answer all of these questions, for further details please contact Captain Sean McEvoy on 086 8055386. Everyone is welcome. 

Mens Club New Years Day Results

2017 started with a bang for some members, others played golf. It was great to see so many members on the course squeezed into slightly tighter chinos due to the Christmas excess and on what was a lovely morning for golf. The scoring was as usual exceptional with Stephen Kockott leading the way with 40 points on a count back from Finbarr O'Reilly with 2016's Golfer of the Year starting as he means to go on with 39 points. Well done everyone, heres to more golfing fun in 2017.

Know anyone else who would like to play golf as a New Years Resolution? Get them down to Virginia Golf Club and let them see what a friendly club we are.

Sunday December 11th Mens Results

This weekend we had a Turkey Shoot with the full Christmas dinner up for grabs. That went to Dave Reilly in 1st place so a good Christmas feast for Dave this year. Second Place and with eith the ham in the pot was club President Victor Nesbitt and in third place and bringing home the wine was Vincent Brady. The captain was unfortunate not to be again in the winners enclosure and was only beaten by countback.

Congratulations all.

Mens Club Latest Results

Sunday October 23

On the weekend that saw our neighbors claim their first Senior GAA championship and Padraig Harrington break an 8 year winning drought, our own members picked up the clubs again to do battle. Thankfully for some of the names that got to the top of the field none of them have had to wait as long to get a win in recent times. This week saw Stephen Smith come out on top with Conor McEvoy and Peter Foran very close behind. Well done lads great play.

Sunday October 30

With the weekend that was in it its fair to say that none of the members put in any scary scores, or made a complete Ghoul of themselves. It was however good to see some new names coming through the ranks and challenging the established order that has developed in recent months. This week we saw Steven Kockott conjure up a magical round of golf coming in with 43 points, trailing well behind, Trump like, were Philip Coleman on 38 points and Brendan Fox also on 38 points. Well done everyone on a great round of golf.

Special mention has to made has to be given to our club Captain who won a raffle, I mean table of merit, to represent the club at the Titliest Invitational at the Belfry Golf Club last week. This saw Gary search for, find and use his Driver for the first time in 3 years and we are sure he did us all proud. Well done Captain great to see our club represented in the big time. Last years Captain took a picture with last years Belfry warrior and it hangs in the clubhouse, expect a new photo of Gary shaking hands with himself shortly.

 

Mid Week Warriors

Just prior to their seasonal break for hibernation, our senior members took to the fairways once more with feeling. These club legends started this weekly ritual, seven years ago under the watchful eye of Finbarr O'Reilly and without whom I have no doubt its success is hinged upon. In these impersonal times any group that encourages retired and new people to meet and socialise is not only vital but a very important part of any clubs life. Last weeks 9 hole Shamble (yes Shamble) was won on the Ladies front by Mary Whelan, second Angela O'Dwyer, third Eva Williams. For the Gents 1st Canice Hogan, 2nd John Clarke, 3rd Alex McAuley. All members retired (again) to the  Riverfront Hotel for lunch and to plot their successes when the group reawaken post winter slumber in May 2017. Well done everyone, heres to 2017.
