President's Prize
K.K. Golf Society held its May outing to Tullamore Golf Club. 37 members competed for the President's (Joe Coleman) Prize. It was a perfect day for golf and the scoring was very close as members battled it out for the honour of winning Joe's prize. Three members tied on 36 points but the winner on the back nine was Liam Rosney who just pipped Declan Lowry and Conor Slevin. Winners in category 1 were Matthew Feighery 35pts, Tom Daly 35pts and Ronan Coleman 33pts. Category 2 winners were Peter Harte 32pts, John Flynn 32pts and Seamus Spain 30 pts. The nines prizes were won by Denis Guinan 18pts and Dermot Troy 19pts. In presenting his prize, Joe thanked all the members for supporting the outing and congratulated all the winners. A putting competition organised by Kevin Clarke and Joe added to the enjoyment of the day and funds raised were donated to the Alzheimer's Association. Below are some photos of the day.

Mick Troy Trophy
The society held its first outing of the year in Mountrath Golf Club. Thirty two members played in the very popular Mick Troy Perpetual Trophy and the good weather and excellent course meant that good golf had to be played to capture the coveted prize. In a tight finish John Flynn just did enough with a great score of 40 points to hold off Conor Slevin on 39 points and John Delaney on 37 points. Declan Lowry, Paul Troy and Joe Slevin featured in category one and Alan Troy, Brendan Bennett and Peter Mitchell were winners
in category two. The nines prizes went to Martin Delaney and Tom Daly. Dermot Troy presented the trophy on behalf of the Troy family and captain Thomas Moylan welcomed new members and thanked everyone for supporting the outing.

Castle Barna Outing
The final outing of 2009 had to be postponed twice because of weather problems. It was finally played in Feb. 2010 and produced some really good golf. Matthew Feighery won with an amazing 47 pts., but John Delaney also had a great round of 44 pts. Paul Troy finished third on 38 pts. The category prizes went to Joe Slevin, Jimmy Quinn and Trevor Fletcher in Cat. 1. Alan Troy, Tim Guinan and Seamus Spain won in Cat. 2. The nines prizes went to Darrell Lowry and Peter Mitchell.
Trevor Fletcher finished the year in style with his team winning the team event and he captured the Golfer of the Year award, just pipping Matthew Feighery.
Jimmy Quinn, captain, thanked everyone for their support and announced Tom Moylan as captain for 2010.

Captain's Prize 2009
The Kilcormac Killoughey Golf society held their ‘Captain’s prize’ outing on Saturday week last at ‘Highfield Golf club’ Co Kildare. There was a super turnout of thirty five golfers to honour this year’s captain ‘Jimmy Quinn’.

Louis Moore President's Prize
This was a very special day in Tullamore Golf Club for the society as members gathered to honour Louis, who sadly passed away in February. President of the society since it was founded, Louis was a real father figure to all the members and was immensely proud of the way the society operated. He was held in great esteem by all the members, as was evident from the large number who turned out to form a guard of honour for his funeral. A minute's silence was observed at the golf club at the presentation of his prize.
Thirty four members competed for Louis' prize and the winner on the day was Arthur Marsh with 37points, closely followed by Trevor Fletcher on 36 and Jimmy Quinn with 35 points.
Louis Moore, President of the society since 1996, who died in February 2009.
