Carrickmines 3: DUGS 2
Weather: A dull but warm day with a southerly breeze. Rain threatened but never materialised.
General comments, points of interest: A lovely day and a warm welcome greeted DUGS on their annual visit to Carrickmines. Pre match coffee and sandwiches were much apprecaited. The course was in good conditon despite the recent overseeding of the greens, but local knowledge and good golf got the hosts off to a good start winning the first 3 matches. DUGS managed wins in the remaining very tight matches to make the overall score look more respectable. After an excellent dinner the CGC Captain, Brian O’Loughlin, welcomed the visitors and thanksed them for a competitive match. He admitted, that despite being on the DUGS mailing list, he had never joined and promptly handed over his life membership fee. The DUGS Captain, Matt Minch responded, reminding us that this match goes back to the late 1940’s and naming many of the CGC golfers who were also members of DUGS. He concluded by thanking the catering staff and presented the Trinity Cup to the Captain, congratulating them on their win. Another enjoyable trip to The ‘mines.
