The latest results and fixtures from Buncrana Golf Club:
Winter League Week 3: The format last weekend in the Owen Mc Daid (Roe) Taxi & Mini-Bus Hire Winter League was the player’s total aggregate. This format gave the pairings a great opportunity to put some valuable points on the qualifying table, however only 11 of the 35 pairings managed to get better than 70 pts. Obviously this format put a lot of pressure on the individual performances of the pairings and the weather conditions on Saturday morning didn’t help the Saturday player’s. However the stalwart pairing of Paul Eccles (18) & Kevin Mc Dermott (22) payed some tremendous golf on Sunday morning to shoot a fantastic 83 pts. Not alone did this score easily secure the weekly prize but it also moved Paul & Kevin into top scorers overall and into a very strong position to reach the match play stages of the competition.
Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th Novemberthe Owen Mc Daid (Roe) Taxi & Mini-Bus Hire Winter League: The format this weekend is a 2 ball scramble and with only one week of qualifying remaining after this weekend a lot of players will be trying hard to move into the coveted qualifying positions.
