Tipperary Spring League Re-Commences

Riverdale, as in previous years will the launching of the Pitch & Putt Season for 2010 when the Spring League begins at the Nenagh venue. With the re-emergence of Tipperary Hills we will now have 5 Clubs battling it out for the coveted Crown of League Champions. Undoubtedly the Riverdale team will start off as favourites and they will be hoping to re-capture the title they so agonisingly lost to Lakeside at Larkspur Park last year. Lakeside will be hoping to regain the form that enabled them to win the league for only the second time in their history and with two training days under their belts already Captain Myles is ensuring his charges are ready for battle. Hillview will once again fancy their chances and one has to think with their staging of the league near the end of the competition they really could upset the form chart. Larkspur Park will be aiming to reach the dizzy heights they achieved back in 2006 when they were champions and with a few players returning to the fold, they could cause an upset. This leaves Tipperary Hills. I really am glad to see them back in the league with a team of their own. On their return last year they boasted nearly 300 registered members, an amazing feat when you consider they only re-opened mid-way through the year. Word is some of the staunch players are back and playing as good as ever before and it will be great to see them all chasing birdies on Sunday and only time will tell if they can relive the golden years they once enjoyed.

The County Board would like to call on all players to attend the league each Sunday and assist their clubs in capturing the League title. In recent years the League has proved very successful and continues to grow amongst the players and it will be great to see large numbers on our courses throughout the league.

Tee times are from 09.30am – 13.00pm with an entry fee of €10 per player. Please note that times are weather permitting and the Co Board will notify all Clubs immediately if any changes are made.
