ROSCOMMON
Our young star player Olivia Costello finished second in the Andalucia Cup in Spain last weekend. Olivia led after the first round when she posted a five under par 66. As the weekend progressed more difficult conditions meant scoring wasn’t as good as on the opening day.
Rounds of 75 and 74 on Friday and Saturday respectively left Olivia as joint leader going into Sunday’s final round. However Spanish player Nagore Martinez Salcedo coped best on Sunday, carding a two under par 69 to finish on level par (284), winning the tournament by five strokes.
Olivia had a 74 on Sunday to finish on five over (289). Her achievement in finishing second in such a high quality tournament with a field of over 100 players bodes well for the rest of 2025 and we wish Olivia the very best as the golfing year evolves over the coming months.
Club member Thomas Higgins was in Chile last week to represent Ireland in the South American Championship and while he was down the field overall, he finished with an excellent two under par round of 70.
There has been no action on the course over the past week because of the bad weather, however the ongoing thaw should see a return to normal this week.
The 2025 Drive-in will take place on Sunday, 9th of February at 1.30 pm. More details over the next few weeks. New members always welcome. For more details, contact Paulie Hoare on 086-2986765.
