What a difference a good putt makes
The Press Radio & TV Society jubilee year bandwagon continues on its merry way, and rolled up to Newlands G.C. on Monday 28th April for the latest instalment of our year long celebrations. Overcast skies, pleasant temperatures and the absence of any prevailing wind meant that scoring would be better than usual, provided that play for the most part could be from the perfectly manicured fairways, rather than from amongst the many welcoming trees lining every hole. Given that 50% of the scores returned were
in the 30s suggests that many responded positively to the excellent condition of the golf course and the trueness of the greens.
When the dust settled, Michael Farrell from neighbouring Tallaght energed victorious, his 10 foot par putt on the last for 37pts being just enough to relegate the 36pts of Michael Collins, Peter Kennedy, Brendan O'Farrell & Peter Rea to the runners-up spot. John Foley & Pat O'Donovan were a further point adrift, perhaps rueing a misplaced drive or careless putt along the way.
Once again we compliment the hardworking greenkeepers for having the course looking and playing so well, and well done also to the bar and restaurant ladies for looking after us so well after the golf.
