ARDEE GOLF CLUB 

Welcome to the first edition of  The Lake Newsletter. Here we will try to bring  the latest news from our club to our members and visitors. 
The weather has been favourable for golfers over the past few months and as a result our golf has been very enjoyable. Weather conditions have also resulted in the course being in an excellent condition. Our course is maintained to a high standard by our dedicated staff who are supported by Carr Golf. 
Our main golfing season is now drawing to a close with a very successful Captains day being held over two weekends 21st/22nd and 28th/29th August. Captain Eric McKeevers prize was won by Joe McArdle with total of 132 over the two weekends. For further photos of Prize giving visit our Photo/Video gallery

Lady Captains Monica Watters day was held over two days - Wednesday August 4th & Saturday August 7th. Unfortunately the weather was very unfavourable on the Saturday with heavy downpours. However the ground staff made valiant efforts to keep greens clear of water and the competition was completed despite the weather. The overall winner was Annette Durnin with a score of 140 and a very successful prize giving was held on Saturday night

BRENDAN WINS DUBAI FINALE
Congratulations to Brendan Lawlor on winning the Dubai Finale at Jumeriah Golf Estates by four shots. He opened his tournament with a two under par 70 to lead Mike Browne (England) and Kurtis Barkley (Canada) by two shots. He stretched his lead to four but dropped back to two by the time he came to the 17th - a very difficult par 3. He shot straight at the flag to set up a birdie and close out the competition. Brendan’s caddy is his dad, Billy.
This is Brendan’s third win in the five event Series having won the EDGA Cazoo Open at Celtic Manor Resort and the ISPS HANDA World Disability at Massereene and Galgorm earlier in the year. He is expected to return to No 1 in the world after this victory.
Brendan came up through the ranks at Ardee Golf Club and represented Ardee G C at many level. He regularly practices at Ardee when not away playing in tournaments. This has been a great year for Brendan and we wish him continued success.
