Four twos were posted, namely John Keane at the 3rd, Christopher Hasson at the 4th, Dominic O’Neill at the 4th also, and Dessie Gray at the 12th . At this stage of the Winter League, it looks like a toss up between the pairing of Stephen Margey /Christopher Hasson, and that of Tony McLernon / John Keane as to the winners, with one round left.
The final round of the Winter League at the Kilrea Manor Golf Club was played on the weekend of the 26/27th November and resulted in a narrow win for Stephen Margey and Christopher Hasson , scoring 396 points, with the runners up Tony McLernon and John Keane close behind on 393.

This weekend (25th/26th) sees the introduction of a new competition – the REVERSE 2 Ball Scramble. This should bring about some interesting situations and scores……..
Rules
• Main Rule – Each player’s ball counts therefore both players have to finish each hole.
• Both Players tee off with their own ball as in a normal scramble.
• The next play is from the where the worst placed ball lies. (If there is any doubt then your playing partners will decide which is the worst placed ball)
• The hole is completed only when both players have putted their ball. (If only one player succeeds in putting their ball then both players have to putt again from the position of the unsuccessful putt)
• If a ball goes “out of bounds” then both players must retake their shot from the original position and the team incurs a stroke and distance penalty (ie. 2 strokes). In this case if the first player had put their ball into play and the second player goes out of bounds then both players must retake their shot as the “Out of Bounds” shot is deemed to be the worst shot. (The first players good shot was superseded by the out of bounds shot)
• If one player enters a hazard or declares a ball unplayable then the ball must be dropped and both players have to play a ball from this position.

The first interclub competition of the season took place at the Kilrea Manor Golf Club on Saturday 9th April. It was the first round , home leg, against Cabra Castle in the Ulster Cup. The weather was excellent , warm, sunny and dry, and the course was in first class order . We got off to a good start with no.1 match won by Eddie O’Kane 1 up .However Cabra hit back winning the next three matches ,and only three more to play, albeit the Manor players only losing by the narrow margins of 1 up, 2 and 1, and 2 up… Not to worry, a sterling performance by the strong trio of Charlie Hasson , Chris Darragh, and John Keane saw the team through to a winning total of 4 matches to 3. Charlie led the comeback with a magnificent 7 and 6 win , Chris followed that with a convincing 4 and 3 win, and John Keane finished the tie off with a excellent 3 and 1 victory. That leaves the Manor to travel to Cabra Castle with a slender lead of 1, but they have the advantage of 10 holes up , should the match end on a tie. It will require all of the team to play at their at their maximum potential to ensure a safe passage to the next round, Good Luck !
Captain’s shotgun is taking place on Sunday March 27th. Tee off at 08:00 sharp !!
