Last Tuesday at Duntryleague, a large field of women had a fun day on the course and at the same time donated to a charitable cause.

The Charity was Can Assist, a very worthy and well-known one for the Orange district. The generous sponsors for the event are Shirley Doherty, Marg Shannon, Dot Beasley, Janice Pritchard and Jill Benson. Thank you all!

The event was a fun day with each team of four playing with one pink ball, as well as their own ball. Players took it in turn to use the pink ball, which somehow played with our minds as well! When we used the pink ball, we tried our hardest to play well; however, some of us could not and even lost the pink ball! Players could buy a ‘get out of trouble’ voucher before the game to help with bunkers and putting, a fun way to raise money for the Charity.

The clever team that came in with the best ‘pink ball’ score was Ann Williams, Lorie Leahey, Jane Arnott and Joy Ritchie. Congratulations to you all on keeping it all together.

For Can Assist, it was a very successful event with the funds raised from the generous players and the raffle.

The Annual Women’s Tournament will be held at Duntryleague next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with 198 women playing. The theme this year is Springtime, so we are all hoping for suitable springtime weather.
