Aiden shows Howe to do it at Bundoran

admin — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 15:18:20 +0000

The golfing season is well and truly underway once again as Bundoran Golf Club hosted its first major ‘Open’ competition of the new season on the ‘Holiday weekend’ which attracted a large turnout over the three competitive days!
However when all the cards were tallied up, it was twenty three handicapper Aiden Howe who emerged as the winner with a very solid score of 41 stableford points. Opening with 22 front nine points, Aiden continued his fine vein of form with a further 19 points on the back nine to finish one in front of omnipresent Brian Loughlin.
For his part, Brian Loughlin returned to the winner’s enclosure, with a large smile on his face, after posting a score of 40 points. Playing off fifteen, (for the last time) Brian scored birdies on the first and ninth holes while making pars on the the third, fourth, fifth and sixth holes, giving him a fantastic 24 points for the front nine. While unable to match these exploits later on, he still managed a further 16 points on the back nine, despite not adding to his tally on either the tenth or sixteenth holes.
He was then followed home by two handicapper Luke Robinson who completed a fabulous one under par gross round and was rewarded with a score of 39 points. Three over after nine, Luke then slipped into overdrive on the back nine racing home in a super four under par, adding 22 points for these holes to the 17 he fought for on the outward nine.
This brilliant finish saw him edge Brendan McGowan playing off twenty two into fourth place also with 39 points but with 21 points on the front nine and 18 on the back nine. The fifth place and final nett prize then went to nineteen handicapper was John Gormley with 38 points, while one handicapper Matthew Dunmore secured the gross classification after a two over par round yielded 34 gross points.
Next weekend’s competition is a singles stroke competition sponsored by the McMorrow family with members playing for the Alfred McMorrow Cup on Sunday 25th March. As usual tee times can be booked by telephoning the club on 07198-41302.
