Greystones’ boys make a good impression
Well done to Dylan Holmes & Jamie Anderson who played in the Under 18 Connaught Boys this week.
The event was hosted at Ballinrobe Golf Club with all the top under 18 golfers teeing it up. The originally planned 36 hole cut was reduced to an 18 hole cut due to the extreme weather conditions earlier in the week.
Both Jamie & Dylan made the cut. Jamie birdied the 18th to finish 5 over after the first 18 holes while Dylan finished on 6 over after taking an unfortunate 8 on the 8th hole. On day two Dylan was 1 under par through 9 but a lost ball on the extremely difficult 17th didn’t help his cause and he finished with another 79 for a T31 finish. Jamie shot an impressive 2 over in the second round for a total of 7 over and a T13 finish.
Both lads have another couple of years competing at this level, so the future remains bright.
The event was won by Douglas Golf Club’s, prolific winner, Jack Murphy with a 2 under par total.
