The last outing for 2016 took us to Strandhill for Colm Griffin’s Captain’s Day. We had a great turnout of 40 golfers and the weather held up nicely despite a poor forecast. Winner on the day was Declan Loftus, beating Padraig McShera by means of a better back 9, as both players had 41 points.

Mrs Loftus wasn’t going to be overshadowed by her husband as Kathleen took the Ladies with 32 points. Padraig McShera won the Mens Low section.

All the Golfer of the Year competitions wee extremely close entering the last outing. Maurice Cullen won the Overall Golfer of the Year, finishing two points ahead of Tommy Aherne.  Padraig McShera won the Mens High, Tommy Aherne the Mens Low and Patricia Bohan came from fourth to first, to win the Ladies by two points over Kathleen Loftus.

The standard scratches were as follows –
