CAPTAINS OUTING HUGE SUCCESS.

6/11/2017

This year's B&S Captains Outing was again held in Rosapenna GC under their Winter Champagne Scramble series.

     Almost ninety golfers left the East Donegal Club to head North to one of the Best Links courses in the land were an old Irish saying became very true, "If you don't like the weather in Ireland, wait five minutes" and by God, that's exactly how it was. One minute sunshine, the next rain then hailstones with strong winds dominating most if the day. There was a great mix of golfers on the day but. It was four young ladies who came out on top with a magnificent  score of 88pts. They were Bridie Faulkner, Sharon Maloney, Stephanie Canning and Maureen Boyle. Well done ladies.

CONVOY & RAPHOE WIN RYDER CUP FOR FIFTH TIME.

Convoy & Raphoe won the Annual Ryder Cup at BSGC over the weekend in what was an exciting contest of good quality golf. 

​

   Conditions were great, and with the weather being kind, the only adversary being the beautiful autumn coloured leaves which lay in wait for those who dared to stray from fairways or perhaps the odd soft spot could gobble up what the leaves failed to hide.

​

    After the first days play, C&R took a decent lead of 8 1/2 matches to 3 1/2, but, but, but, we all know too well what can happen on the Sunday Singles  so Captain Alastair  warned his troopers to remain alcohol free (right) for the rest of the night (right).

  B&S Team Captain Cathal was still very upbeat that his players were as good as, and could beat any team they met.

​

  Well unfortunately, that was not to be as the spoils were shared in the singles so Convoy & Raphoe won the cup  again.

​

  CHARITIES

The real winners on the day were what the event was originally set up for by Convoy  man Andy Parkinson, charities, and this year €800  was raised and was split between two charities, St Joseph's Stranorlar and Donegal Cancer Bus. Another €160 was raised through a raffle which went to Bloodbikes Northwest, an  organisation which Andy himself is heavily involved with. They deliver blood to where it is urgently required. Good work there Andy and your colleagues.

DONEGAL CHAMPIONS.

B&S Donegal Seniors (O' 50s) have become CHAMPIONS  of Donegal in dramatic fashion at B&S GC. 

​

   In the first leg away from home  against a quality Ballyliffin side, B&S were hit hard by the seaside club,  taking only half a match home with them. So that meant that the Finn Valley side left themselves one hell of a task on home soil. B&S acting Captain, Freddie Wilson was left to pick  a team that knew every inch of the home course, a team that would not give up no matter how tough the conditions were, a team that was proud to wear the Club Jersey. 

​

     Well, that's exactly how it turned out. Freddie got his team spot on for the big occasion and each and every player done their Club proud. Conditions were not great as the autumn leaves left their mark and that's before Ophelia left her mark and a few soft spots caught out the visiting side but the local lads went on to win all matches to clinch a well deserved piece of silverware for the B&S Golf Club.

Freddie incidentally filled in for the big Man who captained the over 50s team for years, Joe Henderson (The Dark Cloud).  I'm sure Joe will be absolutely delighted with the result and I know personally that everyone at the Club is wishing Joe all the best at this particular time as he is undergoing some treatment. I've often heard it said Joe, your the most  handsome golfer the club has produced.  (Well, according to  the Ladies  Branch). I'm sure the team won this one for you big fella.

CRUIT CUP WIN FOR LYNCH

Martin Lynch had the worst start possible  by blanking the very first hole in the B&S annual outing to Cruit Island Golf Club. Form here he could have easily put the head down  but like all good professionals, he quickly turned things around  majestically and ended up with 44 points. Well done Martin and all the prize winners.
