SEAMUS POWER IN FINE FORM AT LIMERICK

Seamus Power continued with his fine run of form during the Munster Boys Amateur Championship played in Limerick Golf Club last week. He shot a new course record of 67 to lead the field after the first round and consolidated his quest for honors with a steady 72 to lie tied second, 1 shot behind going into the third round. While playing in the last group for the third round, Seamus faltered somewhat to slip to a 76, but he came back strongly to shoot 71 in the final round securing a very creditable 5^th placing. The title was won by Aaron O’Callaghan from Douglas Golf Club who shot a very impressive 10 under par for the four rounds.

TIMESHEETS

Time sheets apply for all club competitions. Please put up you’re name and those playing with you for your place on the Tee. Please remember: Players with their names on the timesheet have priority on the 1^st Tee.

Owing to increased playing numbers, the practice of putting down a name +1 or +2 is no longer acceptable. Only individual names will suffice as this facilitates the smooth running of the timesheet, by identifying who is actually booked in to play with whom.
