What a time to hit top form! Week 4 of our 50/50 competition you hit 45 points and then Week 5 you hit 41 points for 2 wins in a row from Brendan Doherty. It leaves Brendan joint top with Derek Bonner with only one week remaining, great golf. Second today was Keith Bonner who turned at the clubhouse only 2 over and posted an impressive 40 points. Third was Michael Boyle who also turned 2 over on his way to recording 39 points while fourth went to Pete Duffy also on 39 points. The 9’s went to Cathal Doherty with 21 points and Brian Mc Monagle with 20 points. Well done to all our prize winners and thanks to Ann and Tim at the Lobster Pot for the continued support. Next Sunday’s competition is sponsored by C&O Milligan.
Congratulations also to Chris Mc Gonagle on a hole in one at the sixth hole today,

The first day of dropping off fairways coincided with a beautiful calm day and scoring was always likely to be fairly good. However there were a number of scores just a bit better than fairly good. Brendan Doherty has been threatening a winning score for a while now and it all came together today in fantastic style as he shot 2 9’s of 23 Pts and 22 Pts for a winning score of 45 Pts. Second was our vice captain Eamon Kelly who had 4 birdies on his card on his way to posting a super score of 43 Pts. Third with his best round of the year, a 1 under 67 for 42 Pts was Derek Bonner while fourth was Donal Boyle who turned at the clubhouse 2 over only to go round the back 9 in an amazing 5 under (29 shots) for 41 Pts. The 9’s went to Alan Gillespie with 23 Pts and Denis Bonner with 22 Pts. Well done to all our prize winners and thanks to Pat at Derryveagh Crystal for his continued support and sponsorship. Next Sunday’s competition is sponsored The Lobster Pot, Burtonport.

John O’Friel was the man on form on the links today. A solid start through 4 holes got a lot better on the 5th when he holed his second shot for an eagle that really got his round going. John turned with 21 Pts and added another 18 on the back 9 to post his winning score. Second was Sean Hyland who was only 1 over on the back 9 which included 2 birdies as he posted 37 Pts. Third was John Ward who had 3 birdies on his card including a very nice finish with two of them on the 17th and 18th. John had 36 Pts and just edged out Alan Gillespie on a break of tie who was fourth also with 36 Pts. The 9’s went to Denis Boyle and Shaun Timoney both with 20 Pts. Well done to all our prize winners and thanks to Declan and Michelle at the Bayview Bar for their continued support and sponsorship. Next Sunday’s competition is sponsored by Derryveagh Crystal.
