Members Achievements
The Ladies of Tulfarris Golf Club won the Mid Leinster Final of the Challenge Cup at Bunclody Golf Club on Sunday 1st September 2019 when they beat the Ladies of Woodenbridge Golf Club by 3½-matches to 1½-matches.
The were led out by Rebecca Edwards who beat Brid Moran by 1-hole, she was followed by Audrey Finnegan who halved her match against Orla Byrne, next on the tee was Carmel Curran who lost her match against Suzanne Brown by 6 and 5, the penultimate match of Miriam Solan against Kelly Barnes went 4 and 3, to the North Wicklow team and in the bottom match Imelda Masterson recorded a 3 and 2 win against Siobhan Murray.
2001 Captain John Horan recorded a unique double on this fine course. John had the last hole-in-one on the old course back in 1996. He holed out on the old 9th with an eight-iron, before the course was upgraded. No member had recorded a hole-in-one until John aced the par 3 162 yd’s second with his three-iron in June 2001. Another coincidence is that Benny Teevans was playing with him on both occasions.
Prior to 2001:
Raymond Williams was selected on the Leinster Boys' Team in 2000 and he won the golfer of the Month in the Druid's Glen-Irish Independent, Raymond was a Irish Youths' International in 2004 playing against Scotland.
Bruce Flecher won the AIB Irish Seniors Open Championship here in May 2000.
