Latest News
GGC win a series of narrow matches.
Following a very busy weekend, Greystones came out nearly all intact on the teams front. The displays again showed the resolve and determination that has been a feature of our club in recent years (delivering a number of pennants) with several matches won on Sunday by a single match (and a single hole).
First up, our Metropolitan Cup team (9 singles matches) played superbly to defeat Old Conna 5-4. Next the momentum in our men’s fourball team shows no signs of abating with a fine 3-2 win over Killiney, marking a second successive 3-2 win for the panel and defending Leinster holders.
This was followed by the Irish Mixed champions who overcame our close neighbours Delgany 3-2 (3 away matches) with 2 games won by Greystones on the 18th late on Sunday evening. This was our Mixed team’s first match of the season and next up is either Edmonstown or Djouce.
On Monday, the JB Carr team lost 3-2 against Druids Glen in unseasonal weather with our Super Seniors also losing 3.5 to 1.5 against Knockanally although they can still qualify.
Well done to all the players, caddies and managers on the fine start to 2017. Thanks to all those who turned out to support our teams on Sunday and Monday.

Successful weekend for GGC teams
Greystones have started 2017 like they ended 2016 with a series of impressive wins over the past few days. The ladies junior foursomes overcame Grange Castle in Carrickmines . This was helped by strong wins from Via Maune and Laura Langrell (6&4) and Helga Hayden-Smyth (on her comeback) and Roisin Norris (4&3). On the men’s side, the Leinster Fourball 2016 champions somehow managed to turn around what looked like a certain (heavy) defeat into victory against Rathfarnham. Trailing for most of the day, an heroic win in extra holes by Messrs Gaughran and Bracken ensured the narrowest of winning margins (3-2). Our JB Carr team also won last week and the Darcy team are through into the last 4. Huge congratulations to all our teams, managers, players and of course Paul on a fantastic start to 2017.
Leinster champions back in action
