The Scratch Cup was played Saturday in near perfect conditions, the course was challenging, the weather was excellent with blue skies and a smiling sun. The greens were very receptive but the going was very tough for the vast majority of us. However for the big guns it was business as usual with John Cahill Fermoy leading and the overall winner with 15 under. Chris Scannell from Collins was pipped for the runner up position by damien Fleming, Deerpark and also for the Senior Gross by Darren Collins, St Annes with Lakewoods John O’Sullivan putting in a mighty effort for the Host Club. Val O’Leary was very disappointed in her results unaware that she was leading from the start and held pole position all day taking the Ladies Gross while Club Secretary Gretchen Ahern was the Ladies Runner Up on the back nine from Mary Murray, Rocklodge. Fermoy were also in the Winners with Darren Duffy taking the Intermediate and Shane Kelleher from Crosshaven on a roll taking the Junior Gross.
Thanks to all of the Pitch and Putt players that supported the open and Scratch Cup and especially to the main sponsor Hammond Lane who sponsored the overall winner and runner-up prizes. It was great to see the large attendance and to see the course so well utilised and some super playing from the players.
