The Open Competition took place on Tuesday, August 28 and even though the weather turned nasty in the evening there was a good entry.
Two of the junior girls featured in the winners’ enclosure. No doubt they were delighted to pick up a few prizes before their studies resume and golf has to curtailed for a while.
Pauline Doherty from Century Cinemas got a great welcome when she came along to the club to present the prizes and the ladies branch are most grateful for the very generous sponsorship.
Some of the ladies were encouraging Pauline to make a return to golf herself but there was no commitment forthcoming.
Full Results: Winner Sarah McBrearty, 36pts. Runner-up Eileen Williamson, 33pts. Gross, Marian O Sullivan, 25 gross points. Third, Caoimhe Lafferty, 32pts.
Visitor Sally Sparrow, 26pts. Front nine, Maura Cavanagh, 21pts. Back nine, Pauline Curley 15pts(bot).
