An impressive 96 ladies took part in Terri Fahy's competition, with a strong turnout to celebrate the occasion at the presentations in the clubhouse.
Top honours went to Amy Healy, who was crowned the 2025 lady captain’s prize winner after delivering two days of great golf. Amy edged out some stiff competition to secure victory by just one shot - a truly impressive and well-earned achievement.
Anne O’Sullivan, a gracious and consistent competitor, took second place, finishing just one shot behind. In third place was Ilish McGing, who played steady, composed golf throughout the event.
Congratulations also to Sheila Baynes, winner of the gross prize, and Kay Mulroy, winner of the nine-hole competition.
Thanks to lady captain Terri, the ladies committee, and everyone involved in organising such a successful and memorable occasion.
