Monday 11th saw the Cat 4 members playing for Catherine Cooke-Harkin’s Lady Captain’s Prize and taking top honour was John Henderson, runaway winner with 25pts over 11 holes. In runner-up spot was Hugh Kelly with 22pts.

Wed. 13th Open, sponsored by David Johnston, was won by centenary year captain Henry Mc Cahey [13] returning a grand total of 45pts.

Starting with a “blank” at first hole and a double bogey at ninth, scores did not look prosperous for Henry until he registered a birdie at 11th and finished with another birdie at 18th to shoot a one under par gross 35 on back nine, the equivalent of 25pts.

In second place was Joe Brown [18] who, while recording a massive 24pts on front nine, faltered with back-to-back double bogeys at 15th & 16th to finish on 43pts.

In third place was Dessie Ferry [10] continuing a streak of good form of late who, despite a bogey at 1st, recorded birdies at 2nd and 7th for a 40pt finish and in fourth place was the ever present Kevin Hannigan [8] scoring birdies at 10th, 11th and 16th, but a lapse at 18th cost him dearly.

Coming to the fore in the afternoon sunshine was the club’s very popular Ulster Cup team captain Charlie Coughlan [12].

Charlie, just returning from knee surgery, required a BOT to take top spot following back-to-back “blanks” at 6th & 7th, but Charlie’s tenatiousness had him record follow-up birdies at 8th & 18th for a 37pt. total.

Giving him a close run was the club’s house convenor Enda Mannion [13] who, despite a great start with a birdie at 1st, blew his chances of an outright win with a double bogey at 6th and a “blank” at 18th.
