NEW ROSS SENIORS: Once again the weather was kind to us on Thursday last when 58 sprightly veterans took to the fairways in search of the elusive prizes. We had 13 four-person teams and two three-man teams who got the normal six points extra added to their final tally. The weather was perfect for golf, with the course in immaculate condition and with the lightning-fast greens proving once again to be the best around, compiling a winning score was not easy.
