Our young star player Olivia Costello finished second in the Andalucia Cup in Spain last weekend. Olivia led after the first round when she posted a five under 66 but in more difficult conditions scoring wasn’t as good as the weekend progressed. Rounds of 75 and 74 on Friday and Saturday left Olivia as the joint leader before Sunday’s final round. However Spanish player Nagore Martinez Salcedo coped best on Sunday to card a two under par 69 to finish on level par 284 for the tournament.

   Olivia had a 74 on Sunday to finish on five over 289. To finish second in such a high quality tournament with a field of over 100 players bodes well for the rest of 2025 and we wish her the very best as the year takes shape over the next few months.   

  Thomas Higgins was in Chile last week to represent Ireland in the South American championship and he finished with an excellent two under par round of 70 but was down the field overall.

  There has been no action on the course over the past week because of the bad weather however the thaw should see a return to normal this week. The 2025 drive-in will take place on Sunday 9^th February at 1.30pm. More details in the next few weeks.
