Conor Gallagher takes the Captain’s Prize

Our Captain’s prize was played in The Jameson Links, Portmarnock this year.  A firm society favourite as always and we got to see the new course in full play, which certainly proved to be a decent test on the day with the course playing fierier than we are used to later in the year.

Society Captain Paul Traynor brought us to Clontarf Castle for a fine evening dinner before the prize presentation and we thank our namesake sponsor for looking after us so well on the evening.

Our congratulations go to Conor Gallagher who shot a tremendous score of 38 points, beating Kevin Maher on a countback, with Rob Greenhalgh in third place with 37 points. Well done to all the prize winners and to all who turned out to support the Captain. Full results are as follows:
