With the Irish winter having finally caught up with us and with common sense prevailing, Letterkenny Golf Club have reduced their course to 13 holes.
This is in order to allow members and visitors alike to avail of some form of competition during the winter months without having to use the mats.

With the persistent rain and ongoing work being done to four of the main fairways, Saturday’s competition was postponed but taking the top honour on Sunday 13th was Johnnie Moore [21] with 26pts over the shorter course. Turkey competitions are now running from Monday-Sunday, seven days weekly with re-entry any day following first entry.
