WEXFORD: In 1744 the Gentlemen Golfers of Edinburgh produced the first written set of rules for playing golf. This society evolved into the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers and played the game over the five-hole Leith course. Wexford produced its own honourable golfer last week when Mal O'Keeffe (20) won Wednesday's single stableford competition, played over 14 holes, with a score of 34 points.

COURTOWN: Thank God, it is great to be back. That was the general feeling in Courtown last weekend, with the course reopened after a spell of some three weeks. It was surprising to see the track in such good condition after all that had been thrown at us over the last few weeks, and even though the course had to be closed for an hour or so on Sunday morning following a heavy frost on Saturday night, we were able to proceed with the Winter League as planned.
