Kilcock captain Sean Dowling is certainly showing the rest of the members at the Kildare club the way around the course in recent weeks. Dowling won the June medal at the club with a nett 62 which, combined with a recent run of form in fourballs and team events, resulted in his handicap being reduced by six shots.

Among his successes were in the open fourball at Kilcock, the visitor's prize in the Mulligan's Golf Society captain's day on the same course and he was a member of the team which finished in the top 10 at the Spa Hotel Society Classic at Luttrellstown Castle.
