The wonderfully talented young golfer Aoife Browne scored an incredible 71, one under, in the Ladies Open in Portsalon Golf Club last Friday.
A member of the club, Aoife (18) plays off 1. Her amazing round that most of us can only dream about, included 3 birdies, one of which was on the difficult 11 th , and 13 pars. Aoife’s score means she now shares the Ladies Course Record with Claire McGonagle who set it in 2021. We are all behind Aoife as she pursues selection to the Ulster Team. Lady Captain Roisin and all the ladies branch wish her every success in that challenge.

Ladies Open Results
Friday the 2 nd of May produced some fantastic scores in the Ladies Open. As I mentioned above, we had the Ladies Course Record equaled by Aoife Browne, but we also saw some incredible scores coming in from players. It was a packed timesheet and an equally packed scoreboard with very little separating those at the
Top. Congratulations to all the winners and in particular Catriona McClafferty with a top
score of 43 points.
