Under 15 Boys in dramatic Leinster final win

After two successive losses in the Leinster final of the Under 15 Boys, Greystones won the pennant yesterday ( Saturday 7th October ) after a brilliant performance from the team.

Heading into the second leg of the final with a 2-1 deficit our lads made home advantage count as they beat a very good Blainroe team in a playoff.

Ben Crowley managed the team until he turned Pro last month and since then George O’Brien has been the man on the course with the team, both overseen by Head Professional, David Lewis.

There was just one change made after the first leg, the in form, Dylan Cavazza coming in for Conor Dignam, who had contributed throughout the campaign . Ruadhán Murray and Toby Murphy retained their places on the team for the home leg. Conor and Tom Murphy were subs on the day.

Dylan, who was getting four shots in his match, was out first on Saturday and got off to a great start, two up through three. He lost the fourth but from there he played fantastic golf and it was clear from early on that there was only going to be one winner of this particular match. Five up through nine became six up through eleven, before the match closed with a 7&5 victory for Dylan on the thirteenth. An excellent performance.

Out third was Toby Murphy. Toby had been a member of the team who lost out to Roganstown in the final last year and it was obvious that he was going to do his damndest not to loose his match this year. He was giving four shots but was on fire. Toby turned three up and was three under on his own card when he closed his match 6&5 on thirteen, after an almost flawless performance.

Our second match on Saturday had Ruadhán Murray matched up against the same Blainroe player that he had beaten on the eighteenth two weeks ago to win the all important away point in the first leg. The Greystones leg was just as tight in this flat match. Ruadhán got to two ahead with an excellent par on the sixth but losses on eight and nine had the game all square heading to the back nine. The back nine started in the same vein with ten and eleven halved before Ruadhán got his nose ahead once again with a good win on twelve. A narrowlly missed four foot, par putt on thirteen squared the match once more before an excellent par putt on fourteen had Ruadhán ahead again. Fifteen and sixteen went to Blainroe and the golfing Gods were obviously looking down on the Blainroe player as his ball skipped across the water on seventeen, finding the bunker behind the green. Ruadhán had been in trouble off the tee and when his opponent played an excellent bunker shot for a tap in par the game was done 2&1 and the overall tie was 3-3.

Toby, who had been hitting balls since his early finish was ready to go on the first tee for the three hole playoff. Josh, his opponent, missed the green right while Toby hit his iron to twelve feet and had a picky up par to go one up. On the second Toby split the fairway with a great drive leaving himself not much more than a hundred yards to the pin. Josh, meanwhile was in the left rough and was only able to find the right rough with his recovery shot. Toby hit a beautiful iron to ten feet and, with two for the win it was game over – a brilliant performance.

This pennant win means that our Junior Boys have won the three major Leinster titles this year, Under 15, Junior Foursomes and Fred Daly and in addition our underage Sixes girls & boys team also won a Leinster pennant – outstanding. Congratulations to all those involved, a fantastic achievement.

Ryder Cup Sunday at Greystones Golf Club

What a great win for team Europe this afternoon and those lucky enough to get to watch it on the giant screen in the club got to witness the success of Luke Donald’s team in all it’s glory.

The nine hole scramble event held early this morning ahead of the Ryder Cup pitted team Europe ( captained by Lady Captain Celine with Junior Girls’ Captain, Isabella as team vice captain ) against Team USA ( captained by Captain John with Junior Boy’s Captain, Jamie as his vice-captain ). As it turned out, thankfully, this was the only success that Team USA had today with a USA win by a 356 to 351 scoreline.

The front nine two person team event was won by Brian Burke with his guest, Siobhan Whelan (Delgany) who beat Evan Dalton and his guest from Dun Laoghaire, Alexander Flynn into second place.

The back nine competition was won by Phillip and Aoife Dempsey with Finbarr Fay and Tommy Kealy in runner up spot.

Many thanks to Ali, Olivia and the catering team and to Paul Lee and the bar crew for serving up a great brunch to the players.

David O’Toole wins Gold

Congratulations to David O’Toole who won the 2023 Gold Medal with a 71 today, beating Barry Massey by a single shot.

Also on contention today for the Gold Medal were, Rob Hurley, Denis Cromie, Mark Connaughton, Conor Lucey and Antti Happonen.

David’s win moves him to fourteenth in the GOTY but this is not settled yet, with two Class Cup finals outstanding. David Fagan holds a slender lead but M<ark Connaughton can win if he wins his Class Cup final.

Updated GOTY sheet is now on website in the Matchplay section or by clicking here.

President Marguerite’s Prize

Many congratulations to Daniel Hatton who today won President Marguerite’s prize, beating Ray McDonnell 4&3.

The match was tight on the front nine, with Ray making an excellent up and down on the ninth from over the back of the green for a half to turn just one down.

On the back nine Daniel won ten to go two ahead only to be pegged back to one down when Ray won the eleventh with a par. Twelve went to Danny and, when he won the thirteenth when it looked like all the world he was going to loose it, it was looking ominous for Ray at three down. Daniel’s tee shot on fourteen to eight feet was enough to go four ahead and, when Ray could only manage a half on the fifteenth, it was game over. Hard luck to Ray who played some excellent golf to get to the final and of course many congratulations to Daniel, President’s Prize winner 2023.

Some consolation for Ray is the prospect of an upcoming Father & Son son final. Ray & Keith will play Pierce & Shane Power in the final.

Well done to President Marguerite whose beautiful prize was presented to Daniel after the President’s Dinner this evening.

Many thanks to Ali, Olivia and Liz for a most excellent dinner and to Paul and Alan who ensured that all were well watered !
