Golf: Damien McCauley hits form at Open Stableford

Buncrana Golf Club notes:

The competition last weekend was an Open Stableford and only 2 players in the entire field managed to shoot to their handicap or better.

The greens are exceptionally fast and catching a lot of the players out with the difficulty of getting the pace right. Damien Mc Cauley (21) took the first prize with a score of 38 pts and it proves “the more you practice the better you get”.

Damien can be seen out most evenings getting his game honed and it certainly paid off last weekend.

Damien will be looking forward to the remainder of the golfing season with a view to adding a few more prizes to his collection. The full results of the 18 Hole Open Stableford played Friday 4^th, Saturday 5^th & Sunday 6^th April are as follows;

Overall/Cat 3 Damien Mc Cauley (21) 38 pts 

Gross Gearóid Doherty (2) 73 gross

Category 1 Karl King (10)   35 pts 

Category 2 Liam Lynch (14) 37 pts

Best Day (Sat) Mark Bradley (22) 35 pts

Back 9 Jim Fletcher (26) 20 pts
