There was a good turn out of players for the Wednesday Open at the Letterkenny Golf Club as Martin Gallagher (6.1) ran out the winner with the best Gross and an excellent score of 42 pts.
Martin took 17 pars and one bogey out of the course. The runner up was Gordon Dickenson (25.0) with 42 pts. and Greg Sullivan (17.5) was third with 39 pts.

The Get into Golf Programme commences again in 2019.
It has been very successful since its commencement in 2016.
It appeals to people who would like to take up golf but for whatever reason, it just does not happen. The Get into Golf Programme provides Golf Clubs, Golf Bag and balls.
New members are given a chance to learn the basics of the game as well as the rules and etiquette of golf. There is also a follow up with a buddy system where new members can go out with a club member to play the course.
