Comhghairdeachas le Tara Ní Ghallachóir who was the best of the Gaoth Dobhair Ladies who travelled to Cruit Island GC for Lady Captain Maeve’s outing last Friday. The competition was played in tough conditions but Tara held her composure and stayed focused throughout the round to claim the top prize. Full list of results: 1 Tara Ní Ghallachóir (46) 35 points; 2 Mary Lucy Ferry (27) 29 points; 3 Lady Captain Maeve Gillespie (36) 28 points; 4 Marie Kelly (20) 28 points; F9 Frances Sweeney 18 points; B9 Mairéad Mhic Giolla Bhríde 14 points and the Secret Hole was won by Kathleen Rodgers. A special word of congratulations to Tara and Danny who celebrated their 24th Wedding Anniversary the same day. Double celebration for Tara! Ádh mór oraibh beirt sna blianta atá le teacht. Míle buíochas leis an Bhan Chaiftín Maeve a raibh achan rud eagraithe go maith aice agus cé go raibh gaoth láidir ag séidiú ón Atlantach, ar a laghad bhí sé tirim. Sincere thanks to Cruit Island GC for their welcome and hospitality. The refreshments on arrival were most welcome and we are grateful to Lady Captain Celine Markey and Ex Officio Bríd Mulhern for their generosity. Thank you to everyone at the Club for making it an enjoyable outing. Credit to the Greenkeeping Staff, the course is in pristine condition and for those who struggled a little with their game, the local landscape, seascapes and rugged coastal views made it all worthwhile. After the golf, the ladies made the short journey to Óstán Chaisleáin Óir in Anagaire where they were served a delectable meal and the presentation of prizes took place. Míle buíochas leis an fhoireann san Óstán, bhí achan rud galánta. Fun and laughs followed, games were played and spot prizes presented. Thank you Lady Captain.
