Deirdre O’Neill wins Captain Pauline’s Prize
Weather forecast for Saturday, Ladies Captain’s Prize Day, was doom and gloom and Ladies Committee wisely deferred start of play by 90 minutes to allow the water saturated clouds pass over Cahir Park Golf Club.
The wise decision allowed all golfers enjoy a comfortable game, 18 Holes Stroke in warm air, strong winds at times, but overall, a bright dry day.
The Course, as has been the position all Summer, was in excellent order. The Pin positions difficult, as Men’s Junior Cup Team v Faithlegg G.C. were on the heels of the Ladies and the competitive edge was respected by all parties to the Game of Golf.
One Shot separated each of the Ladies who won prizes.
The Cheers went high to the clouds on Saturday night for Deirdre O’Neill, Winner of President’s Prize to Ladies in 2023 and now, proving her excellent golf skills once again, on a score of 74 Nett playing off 15 H/C, to secure 2024 Ladies Captain’s Prize.
Captain Pauline Mulcahy thanked everyone who supported the Day, Course Staff, Catering team, ProShop Staff, Ladies Committee and her Family.
Pauline was delighted to present Deirdre with the Cahir Park Ladies Captains’ Trophy and Captain’s Prize and congratulated Deirdre and all the Prize winners.
A night of celebrations and excellent food followed, and thoughts turn, for many, to next year’s Prize Day and the hope of better luck.
Congratulations Captain Pauline on a wonderful Prize Day.
Congratulations to Deirdre O’Neill and all the Prize winners.
Best wishes for continued success.

Mens Teams
Congratulations to our Barton Shield team for their fantastic performance on Saturday last as they overcame Waterford Castle at Fota Island, followed by a great win against Youghal on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday morning they faced Thurles in the East Munster semi-final again at Fota Island. Our pairings were Cathrach & Emmet Leahy and Ian Flannery & Gary Morrison another excellent win for the team. 72 holes in 2 days is a big ask for any team and off the lads went again on Sunday afternoon in the East Munster final against Lee Valley. It was a close game throughout with the overall score level after 13 holes. Unfortunately Lee Valley got the upper hand at the end and secured the victory. Well done to the panel and management who brought us on a great journey this year.
Hard luck to our Junior Cup Team, who lost to Faithlegg in after playoff holes in round 4 of the competition. Thanks to the team and management for their dedication all year.
