The weekend golf in Ballyliffin had to compete with the wedding of two of our popular staff and it was no contest as Aisling won hands down.
Report by Phelim Davenport
The Saturday Open was on the Glashedy and the low handicap brigade came to the fore now that the tees have been moved back for the Summer.
Before he donned the three-piece suit for the wedding Brendan Devlin [1] went out and shot 1 under par for a winning score of 38 pts.
In second place all round sportsman Darragh McLaughlin [6] had 37pts.
Another 6 handicapper Oscar Mailey also had 37 pts for 3rd place. Seamus Mullan [15] was the only higher man to get a look in, he took 4th with 36pts.
The Gross went to another 6 handicapper John Kennedy with 31 gross pts.
[adrotate group=”91″]Sunday was a fine day for golf. The competition was ‘the Strand Hotel Cup Confined’ and brought out a packed time sheet.
Thomas Mailey [20] probably thought if his wee ‘son’ can win a prize on Saturday he can do better on Sunday which, he did, coming in with a great score of 42 pts to take first place. In second place was a man who has been quiet for a while, John Keever [13] with 40pts. In third place was Brian Mc Gonigle [16] also with 40 pts. Another 40 pts took fourth place- John Quigley [21]. The Gross once again went to Keelan Quigg [0] with 36 gross pts.
The Wednesday Society was won by Martin O’Mahoney with 39pts
Once again congratulations to our Head Pro Gareth McCausland and Aisling Callaghan from our office who tied the knot on Saturday. The style would have put Ascot to shame but I think our President just shaded it with his bow tie!
