Heywood in Top Form

The popular Thursday Opens at Prehen produced yet another magnificent performance last week when one handicapper Ernie Heywood toured the course in a mere 66 shots to win the competition. Ernie’s back nine of 24 points included no less than five birdies. Second place went to Alan Simpson (10) with 41 points. Alan must have thought his 22 point back nine would have ensured a place but Kaine Lynch (8) also carded 22 point on the closing holes and a 41 point total to take the decision down to the best back three holes. That decision went in favour of Simpson and Lynch had to be content with third spot. Paul Greaves (13) was the best of those on 40 points and took fourth prize. Ballyliffin Golf Club’s Oliver Mailey (6) was the best of the visitors with a fine 36 point tally.
