22.03.07 Thursday Society  

1st George Simms 17 42pts
2nd Mickey McCann 16 40pts
3rd Ken McClintock 15 39pts*
Local stonemason George Simms (17) has a double reason to celebrate this week with the safe arrival of his second granddaughter and a win in the weekly Thursday Society competition at Prehen. A delighted George put his golfing success down to dogged determination and his 42 points over the 17 holes was just the icing on the cake. Mickey McCann (16) was steadiness personified in compiling a very useful 40 points for second place. A break of tie was needed to decide third place which eventually went to Ken McClintock (15), his level par gross over the last five holes helping him to a 39 point total. Incidentally the three prize winners are all past skippers of the society.
