Tom Maher rolls back the years to win Saturday Club away trip
It was like a blast from the past as Tom Maher displayed skills that even his playing partners were not aware he possessed as he shot 41 points in a demanding Tullamore course to take the Saturday Club away trip first prize. He managed three birdies in his round which was more than could be said for his low handicapped playing partners Danny McGrath and Mike Cullen. Danny, though, eagled the par four eighth when he drove the green and sunk a 10 foot putt for glory. RESULT 1, Tom Maher 41; 2, Jarlath Crisham 40; Gross, Damien Coyne 33; 3, Paul Leufer 39; 4, John Wall 39; 5, Pete Fahy 38; 6, Seamus Treacy 38; 7, Brian Flesk 37; 8, Danny McGrath 37; 9, Tom McHugh 37; 10, Jack Treacy 36.

JOAN TIGHE WINS LADY CAPTAIN'S PRIZE
The downpours may have been severe but the golf was top class for Sr. Agnes Curley’s Lady Captain’s Prize on Sunday. Despite the adverse conditions both Jacqui McGrath and Martina Casserly returned 72 netts and were well positioned.
But lurking a shot behind was Joan Tighe while Susan O’Brien was also well in contention after the opening 18 holes and it was set up for a real contest as the qualifiers prepared for the final nine holes.
In the end, a superb back nine saw Joan Tighe take the top prize and pipped Jacqui McGrath by a single shot in a close run battle with Anneta O’Neill taking the best gross with the course playing full length for the ladies.
It was an indication of the esteem in which Sr. Agnes is held that a large crowd turned out for the presentation of prizes and the celebrations went on into the small hours with Captain Mick O’Gara displaying his wide ranging singing talents.

MAY 31
DAVE BURKE WINS PRESIDENT'S PRIZE IN TUAM
The cream certainly came to the top when seven handicapper Dave Burke powered to victory in John Ger Davin’s President’s Prize on Sunday. The competition, which was played in stableford format, attracted a huge entry and the weather was certainly very favourable.
The course was set up long but it was fantastic to see two of the new greens in play at the nineth and 12th. It was not surprising that the scoring matched the difficulty of the course and after the conclusion of the 18 holes John Mahon was the leader in the clubhouse with 39 points.
The previous day John C Fahy had secured 38 points with the wily campaigner Jarlath Crisham just a shot further back along along with the eventual winner and young Matthew Fahy. Behind them on 36 points were Noel Murphy, Brian McDonagh, Paul Leufer and Peter J. Ryan.
But in the end it was Dave Burke who reigned supreme with 22 points on the third nine to take John Ger Davin’s prize and he had two points to spare over Jarlath Crisham while Oliver McDonagh had the best gross.
It was a great night as a large crowd turned out for the presentation of prizes with club Captain Mick O’Gara complimenting John Ger on a great year in office so far and spoke about the valuable contribution he makes to the committee.
