A fantastic Open Week at Prehen closed on Sunday with the running of the 28th Northlands Centre Open Stableford. Organised by club stalwarts and dedicated Northlands supporters, Maurice and Carole Quigg, the event again enjoyed fabulous sunshine, a large turnout and spectacular scoring.

 By the end of the day, with family pride at stake, it was Sean Quigg(2) with a brilliant 42 points, and the day’s Best Gross, who topped the field. Sean was seven under par for his weekend’s golf and rumours abounded at the well attended prize giving that Sean’s next piece of joinery would be to the European Tour! In second place, with a vintage performance, was Ciaran Burke(9) with 41 points. Council member Jim O’Hagan(19) saw his 41 points, posted early in the morning beaten into third place by virtue of Ciaran’s better back nine. Jim will no doubt be pleased when he sees his new handicap that sees him at a new low. Fourth place went to the big hitting Lester Moore(2) with a fine 40 points. Adrian Lecky(6) grabbed the Front Nine prize with 21 points and Dr Alan Wade(23) stormed back from a first nine mire to capture the back nine with a scintillating 24 points that was enough to send his playing partners running for oxygen!

 

In the ladies section it was a mixture of youth and grace that fought out the major prizes. Rachael Chambers(8) showed just why she is such a great golfing prospect with a marvellous 40 point tally to top the leaderboard. Newly elected Council member Betty McBride(16) laid aside the cares of office and concentrated on cooking a great 37 points to take second place.  Naoimh Quigg(2) strove to match brother Sean’s performance but found her 37 points only good enough for third place by virtue of Betty better back nine. Anne Wallace(17) with 20 points lifted the first nine prize and Ester Milligan(20) took the second nine. 

In his closing remarks City of Derry Captain, Brian Abel, complimented the Quigg family for their dedication in running this competition for 28 years and wished them well in getting to their target of 30 years unbroken service to this worthwhile charity. Captain Brian conclude the Open Week festivities by thanking all the Open Week competition sponsors who had made the nine days of competition so worthwhile.
