Golf

April 2010

The first golf clinic for blind and visually impaired golfers of the year was held at East Cork GC in Middleton, Co. Cork. Two people were experienced golfers, who had given up the game when they lost their eyesight, who hope to acquire the skills needed to play the game without sight. Thanks to Sinead Costello, Cork LSP and to Terence McSweeney, COPE Foundation and local professional golfer Don McFarlane. Details of forthcoming clinic can be had from Sinead Costello on 021 466 5085 or email scostello@clsp.com.

A 9 Hole Competition was held on March 11th at Newlands GC. Wally Roode, the outstanding golfer of last year, made a good start to the new season with a score of 23 points. He was two ahead of J. Murray and four ahead to P. O’Rahilly. This is the fifth occasion that IBGS has been invited to Newlands GC and was facilitated by the “Thursdays” golf society. Many thanks are extended to the “Thursdays” and to Jimmy Sealy for their generosity.

Results: W Roode 23pts, J. Murray 21 pts, P. O’Rahilly 19 pts, A. Canny 16 pts, J. Lonergan 12 pts, I. Corr 8 pts.
