(28 Jun 2010)
Barton Shield competition held in club over week-end above, Teams of Four players from 26 golf clubs in Dublin/Leinster participated in the event.
Stackstown represented by R Bridges; G Sweeney; S Carter and N Clancy managed by Gerry Carter, they unfortunately failed to qualify for the match play on the Sunday as they lost eight position on a count back. However we as a club can be proud of their performance.
My compliments to our team, club members, club staff (catering & course) in helping to make the week-end a great success for the competition and the club.
Winners/qualifiers for next round of the competition were teams from Killeen & Greystones golf clubs.
Over the week-end many club captains/team managers complimented me as your Captain on the excellent condition of our Course and the test of golf it proved for some of Ireland’ up and coming golfers.

Hi Larry
Please pass on our thanks to Felix and Ritchie for a super weekend up there. Everything was great save that we fell on 18th in our final match but even Stackstown could not fix that for us!
The course is in great condition and the attitude of helpfulness abounded coupled with a friendly atmosphere.
Regards
John
