The OBN Series is in its third year and our first Sponsor has been with us since day one. It’s the Curamach Strings Competition. Last year the sponsors changed this competition to a 2 person team event and it was a great success. It;s so unique that every 6 holes the format changes. The first 6 holes is four ball better ball, the next 6 holes is a 2 man scramble and final 6 holes is Scotch Foursomes (if you are new to golf and donT understand these formats please ask we really want the new members playing) so you will need a partner to play in this event and you will also need a pair to play opposite so get your names on the timesheet quickly so others can pair up with you.The first competition is next weekend.

55th draw winner on the 5th of June held in Taylors bar Drumsna winner of 670 euros is Karina Crowe Carrick on Shannon. Thanks to everyone for your continued support.

[image: image.png] .After 3 rounds, there is still everything to play for. This year’s league is kindly sponsored by Flynn’s Bar and is being played over 5 weeks, with the best 4 weekly scores counting for each team. That means the lowest week drops off, so no team is out of it yet and one big score can still change everything. At the top, Team 12 lead on 365 points, with Team 3 and Team 2 tied on 349, and Team 8 just behind on 348. It is very tight and the next 2 weeks will be crucial. Remember, there are prizes for both the winners and the runners-up, so there is plenty to play for right to the end. Keep the cards coming in and get out representing your team. One strong week could make all the difference.Congrats in round 2 Ladies winner Mary Blake 28pts. And Gents winner Stephen McGuinness 34pts.Also in round 3 The Ladies winner was Mary Blake 26pts.
