Final golf outing for 2022

On Sunday 25^th September, Newry Olympic Hockey Club Golf Society made it’s final outing of the year to Tandragee Golf Club.

Twenty-one eager golfers turned up for what would be a brilliant day’s golfing on a superb mature local parkland course.

With the windy weather on the day making conditions tricky, it was Jeff McNeill who came out on top with what would be an untouchable 39 points. Jeff played very steady golf over the 18 holes, limiting mistakes and capitalising on some extremely lucky breaks! Jeff’s measured approach proved to be enough to claim 1^st prize.

In 2^nd place was Andrew Marks with 38 points, Andrew had a remarkable 27 points on the back nine, which ran Jeff very close to 1^st place. If Andrew happened to have a better start, he certainly would have been unbeatable with that back nine scoring.

In 3^rd Place was the favourite to win on his home track, Paul McCullough with 38 points. Paul, in a rich vein of form leading into this outing, would have fancied winning on home soil, but it wasn't to be!

Other winners on the day were:

• Longest Drive went to Michael McCullough
• Nearest to the Pin went to Ian McNeill

The Golf Society committee would like to thank everyone who turned up to the four outings throughout the year, this was a truly remarkable 1^st full year for the society, which has been tremendously well supported at each outing.

We will be coming back to all members early 2023 with a new schedule for the season next year and the committee would still like to reach out to any old/new member who would like to be involved. We’d be delighted to welcome any new members for next season. Please feel free to contact any of the committee members for further details, or email us directly.
