This year’s Claregolf Christmas Scramble took place at East Clare and was won by Brian Torpey, Joan McNamara Mat Houlihan, and Pat McNamara.

This annual event is the main fundraiser for the staging of the junior county championships which will take place in 2023. Claregolf would like to thank all the clubs and players for their support and participation during the year and we look forward to seeing everyone on the fairways next year.

East Clare Golf Club:

The East Clare golf club ladies captain for 2023 is Rachel Whelan with Noreen Doyle as vice captain.

The men’s captain for 2023 is William Hayes with Maurice Costelloe as vice captain. The 2023 East Clare golf club president is John Duffy.

In the ladies 9 hole re-entry competition the winner was Bridget Minogue from Noreen Doyle with Ann Harte in third place.

Courses closed:

Last week’s heavy frost resulted in the closure of golf courses across the county for a number of days. Earlier this week the courses re-opened for play.
