September Event #1

Now we’re seeing the race tighten and, frankly, that top spot has turned into a proper standoff. Ciaran Greene is still at -2 after 4, but Ciaran Considine has gone from within the group to right on the heels with -2 after 6—that tells you he’s steady, and steady wins rounds when everyone’s trying to be clever. The E’s are holding their ground too: Alan Dempsey and Daire Greene are both at E after 4, while Mike Rockall stays at E after 5. This is shaping up like a “don’t give shots away” leaderboard.

Behind them, the chasing pack is a bit more turbulent. We’ve got Ryan Kelly up at +1 after 4, and Brendan Considine, Tony McHale all at +1 after 4 and 5 respectively—while Tom Curtin is also +1 after 4. Then the curveball: Danny Finn is +2 after 4, which means if he wants to stay in touch he’ll need a quick bit of recovery. With the leaders locked at -2 and everyone else compressed from E to +2, the next stretch could decide whether this becomes a shootout at the top or a shuffle through the middle.

Alright—insider gossip time. Eoghan Considine is sitting 13th with 9 points, and the clubhouse whisper is that he’s been quietly tweaking his routine between holes—same tempo, new feel. Word is he’s gone a touch more “data-driven” lately, leaning on short-game reps like they’re sacred, and if you listen closely you’ll hear it’s not the driver that’s giving him trouble… it’s the moments around the greens when everyone else is relaxed. Keep an eye: if he gets one clean up-and-down early, the momentum could swing fast.

Oi Eoghan Considine—you’ve gone from “improving” to scratched on Hole 6 like you’re trying to win a participation trophy. 🤡

+3 through 6 and still driving the ball on vibes only. Respectfully… stop summoning chaos, mate.

#Golf #GetItTogether

Eoghan Considine is keeping the rivalries buzzing out on the course, but right now it’s been a tough spell—after Hole 6 ended in a scratch, he’s sitting at 13th with 9 total points.

With the round trend declining, the momentum in this matchup is shifting. When one side can capitalize after a costly slip like that, the head-to-head tension usually tightens fast—especially on the holes where the distance between pride and punishment is just one swing.

Ciaran Considine picks up a nice par on Hole 6, and that keeps the momentum steady as he sits 2nd in the chase. With his total points on 14, he’s playing smart golf—no silly risks, just solid execution when it matters.

And look at the trend too: round’s moving in the right direction—declining—so if he keeps this rhythm, the leaderboard’s going to feel very vulnerable.

Rivalry Update: Tom Curtin is starting to separate himself on the course—right now he’s sitting 7th after firing in a birdie on Hole 4 to move to 7 points. You can feel the momentum shift in this matchup: his round trend is declining, which is exactly what challengers want to stop—but with a birdie so early, Curtin has the edge to press the rivalry.

What it means for the head-to-head: If Curtin keeps trending down, he forces his rival to chase rather than control the rhythm. This is where rivalries get decided—one good stretch, and suddenly the chase becomes the pressure.

Ciaran Considine is still the standard-bearer at -2 after 5, and it’s hard not to like what you’re seeing because Ciaran Greene is right there at -2 after 4. That’s a proper contest forming—two guys in control, and everyone else watching for the first mistake. The rest of the E group look like they’ve steadied things too: Daire Greene at E after 3, Ryan Kelly at E after 3, and Alan Dempsey and Mike Rockall both at E (after 4 and 5 respectively). When the leaderboard reads that way, it usually means the next scoring window can be big.

But then you get the signals you can’t ignore—Tony McHale at +1 after 4 and the trio of Eoghan Considine +1 after 5 and Brendan Considine +1 after 5, both still within touching distance. And suddenly Tom Curtin pops up with +2 after 3, which tells you he’s already chasing a recovery; if he doesn’t get that back quickly, he’ll drop out of the conversation. The key now? Whether the E’s can turn one of those holes into a birdie attempt—because with this many players sitting just one shot apart, momentum is everything.

We’re basically watching the leaderboard breathe in real time, and Ciaran Considine is still the one in control at -2 after 5. The interesting bit is Ciaran Greene—he’s holding the line at -2 after 4, so it’s not a runaway; it’s a duel. That’s the message for everyone else: you can’t coast. If you drop a shot now, you’re gifting the front two a cushion and suddenly the whole round turns into damage limitation.

Down the middle, Ryan Kelly and Daire Greene are both at E after 3, while Mike Rockall and Alan Dempsey remain steady at E after 4. But look at the corner they’re both checking—Tony McHale at +1 after 4, along with Brendan Considine, Liam Rockall at +1 after 4, and Eoghan Considine at +1 after 5. The whole pack is bunched, and with that many players just a swing away from scoring, the next run of holes is going to decide whether the E’s can climb or whether the +1’s tumble further.

Dan Rapaport here—and here’s the little behind-the-scenes buzz on Evan O’Keeffe: he’s sitting 16th with just 4 points, but the course chatter says he’s been quietly tweaking his setup—more left-hand emphasis, shorter practice swings—trying to tame the kind of misses that show up right when the pressure heat kicks in. Teammates swear his ball striking looked “almost there” before the round, and if he strings together a cleaner start to the next stretch, don’t be surprised if he climbs fast… because the kid’s not panicking—he’s recalibrating.

Welp, Evan O’Keeffe is out here playing golf like it’s group project mode—everyone’s supposed to help and yet we’re all failing. 😬

Hole 4: double bogey. +4 through 4 and you’re still 15th… coach must be screaming from the parking lot. 🚗⛳

Evan O’Keeffe is in a tough spot at 16th after wrapping up Hole 4 with a double bogey. The round trend stays declining, and that’s the kind of momentum shift that can turn a rivalry into a battlefield—because right now, every rival within striking distance is watching for Evan to lose a little more ground.

In a rivalry like this, that double bogey is more than a number; it’s a statement. Evan has to regroup fast—because when the leaderboard compresses, the person who steadies their tee-to-green game usually steals the narrative back hole by hole.

Right, Ciaran Greene, finding himself right in the thick of it on the par-4th hole—and that’s a calm, controlled finish to keep things ticking along.

It’s par on the hole, but the bigger story is his position: he’s up in second, sitting on 10 total points. You can feel it—that improving trend—he’s steadying the ship, and when you’re playing in a low-pressure way like this, birdies start to look more and more likely.

Next time it’s time to turn that steadiness into momentum, Ciaran. Hold your nerve, keep the tempo, and let the scoring opportunities come to you.

Alan Dempsey has got himself back on song on Hole 4—that one comes in par, and it’s another tidy step in what’s been an improving round.

He’s sitting in 3rd place with 8 points, and you can feel the calm build. Keep playing smart, keep putting the ball in position, and those pars start to add up.

Dan Rapaport here—and I’m hearing a little whisper around Stevie Geraghty: he’s been quietly swapping numbers with the short-game staff, not the driver—more like a “fine, I’ll just trust my wedges again” kind of reset. It’s got everyone at the venue talking because Stevie’s sitting 15th on 5 points, and that’s usually when the tide turns: one tidy 9-iron there, a two-putt save there, and suddenly he’s right in it. My insider angle? He’s got the look of someone who knows exactly what’s been costing him—and it’s not his swing, it’s his commitment to the plan under pressure.

Oh Stevie Geraghty… back at it again! 🎯 From “steady swing” to double bogey on 4—that’s not golf, that’s character development.

You’re +3 through 4 and somehow still 15th… legend behavior. 😂

Pls tell me your driver forgot its job title.

Rivalry update: Stevie Geraghty is battling hard in this matchup, and right now it’s a test of nerves. After completing Hole 4 with a double bogey, Stevie sits at 15th with 5 points, and the round trend is declining.

This rivalry typically comes down to who can reset quicker after a momentum swing—and Stevie’s next holes are crucial if he wants to claw back toward his rival’s line.

Now that’s the kind of shake-up I like to see. Ciaran Considine moves into the lead at -2 after 5, and more importantly for the rest of them, Ciaran Greene is right on his shoulder at -2 after 3—that’s pressure, plain and simple. You can see the momentum isn’t escaping either of the Contenders; once those two start stringing pars and then sneaking in a score, the whole field has to play catch-up.

Behind them, though, it’s a lesson in consolidation. The likes of Tony McHale, Mike Rockall, Daire Greene, and Alan Dempsey are all lingering at E around the after 3–4 band, which says they’re managing the course rather than panicking. But the upward drift is showing too—Eoghan Considine +1 after 5, with Liam Rockall and Brendan Considine at +1 after 4—so if Considine can keep his nerve, it won’t be long before those +1s start feeling a long way back.

Nick Dougherty here, and Ciaran Considine has really stamped his authority on the course. Hole 5 brings a birdie, moving him to 2nd in the standings—he’s now on 12 points overall.

And you can feel the momentum too: the trend is declining, which is exactly what you want when you’re building a score. Keep finding the middle of the fairway and trusting those distances—because when Ciaran’s striking it like this, the leaderboard won’t stay still for long.

Rivalry Update: Ciaran Considine is really starting to separate himself in this matchup. After his birdie on Hole 5, he’s sitting 2nd with 12 total points, and the round trend is still declining—that’s exactly the kind of momentum that tends to put pressure on his rival.

Right now, Considine’s been finding the scoring zones when it matters most, and in a rivalry like this, that’s how you force a comeback to become a scramble. If he keeps this rhythm, this leaderboard position won’t just be about one hole—it’ll become the storyline of the whole finish.

Alright, after the last two holes it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster out there. Ryan Kelly started with a birdie on the second, but the momentum got swatted away with a double bogey on the third—so he’s sitting right back on even after the mishap. Tom Curtin also struck birdie on hole 2, yet followed it with that same double bogey on hole 3, leaving him +2 overall—still hanging around but definitely feeling those swings of fortune. And Daire Greene? He’s been the most consistent of the bunch: a birdie on hole 2 and then a bogey on hole 3 keeps him right on even. Bottom line—Curtin’s got ground to claw back, while Kelly and Greene will be keen to lock in from here.
