Masters’ Weekend
With the Masters in full swing this weekend the Club has organised a Par 3 competition on Friday from 2 pm to 5pm.
Note: We have extended the entry time to our Par 3 competition on Friday evening (2pm - as much time as you need to play 9 par three's before it gets dark) to cater for the working man/woman. It’s only the first 9 holes and you'll be around in the same time it would take to sit on the couch and find the remote control. Even the weather is promised good
On Saturday and Sunday a mixed scramble will take place. No doubt all will be keen to keep pace with the heroes of Augusta. Everybody sends best wishes to our own Shane Lowry and let’s hope that the Green Jacket will come Offaly’s way. Rory is in pretty good shape as well. Good luck to both.
