George Sweeney Fourball Betterball Open
It’s an interesting format – 4ballbetterball- with teams
competing, struggling against the course, always dependant
on the vagaries of golf and the hoping for a partner that
is, in golfing terms, on fire!
On Saturday, 59 teams challenged the course and themselves
in the annual George Sweeney Fourball Betterball Stroke and
the competition did not disappoint. By close of play the
team that had mastered the conditions, calmed their nerves
and knitted together like a pensioners’ summer bus run to
Buncrana, was that of E. McMenemin and J Hamilton. Striding
the fairways at an ungodly early hour they managed a 64 nett
to grab top spot on break of tie from the combination of E.
McCourt and E. Boyle who also managed 64 nett. P.Semple and
J.McIvor carded a 65 nett to take third spot.
Members are reminded that next week, August 14th is Mr Alan
Montgomerie’s President’s Day. Early booking is advisable as
