Mannan Castle Golf Club notes
News from Mannan Castle Golf Club
Mannan Castle Men
Our last major of the year saw a high number take to the course, with the scoring lower than usual. Conditions played their part with cooler, more damp weather returning.
Joe McGeown won with a score of 38pts on Saturday morning. Joe had a stellar year last year, and it’s no surprise to see him pick up another big win before this year is out.
Runner-up was Vice Captain John Minnock with a score of 37pts. A back nine of 19pts was enough for John to finish second on the countback.
Graham Sweeney finished in third place with 37pts. Great to see Graham enjoying his golf. The gross prize went to Bernard Rooney with a three over par round on Sunday morning.
Professional Chris Blackmore’s Prize to Men – First - Joe McGeown (PH.14) – 38pts; Second - John Minnock (PH.16) - 37pts c/b; Third - Graham Sweeney (PH.33) - 37pts c/b, Gross - Bernard Rooney – 33pts.
