Tom triumphs at Rathcore

The annual outing to Rathcore Golf Club is always eagerly awaited, as it combines a challenging course, picturesque scenery, and the warmest of welcomes.
This rolling parkland gem can lull you into a false sense of security, beginning as it does with a fairly generous Par 5 followed immediately by a straightforward Par 4.
Then the fun starts, and if you're not careful, you may not be doing too much laughing.
You need to plot your way thru the hills and around the lakes, and if you eventually reach the sanctuary of the Clubhouse with your card and sense of humour still intact, count yourself lucky, because you have managed to succeed where many have not.
Six members of the Society scored in the 30s today, testimony indeed to the difficulties encountered, while just one man, Tom McGrane, played better than his handicap and returned 37pts to win the overall prize. No doubt the broom-handle worked wonders once again, and Tom tells me that he has vacancies at present for those disillusioned with their conventional putters. The visitor's prize was won by Tony Molloy with 35pts.
