The outing was sponsored once again by Brendan Fagan and Stock Design and it’s worth mentioning that this was Brendan’s 19th year to sponsor an outing with the society – very much appreciated by all the members! The course was in outstanding condition and played extremely tough on the day, as reflected in the scoring.

Well done also to new member Victor Buckley who took second place with a score of 31 points , winning on a countback over Dominic Murray. Well done to all the prize winners, full results as follows:
