Despite the weather, it was another eventful week at Buncrana Golf Club.
With the third round of qualifying taking place last weekend, all the pairings were looking to improve upon their previous scores in the betterball format.
However the duo of Paul Eccles (14) and Kevin Mc Dermott (15) that missed their first week’s play hadn’t any score to improve upon, so they just played to their full potential and shot a tremendous 43 pts. Maybe there was no pressure on Paul and Kevin, but this evergreen stalwart pairing used all their years of betterball experience to master some difficult conditions on Sunday morning to return the weekly winning score. This score now sets Paul and Kevin up well to challenge for a top qualifier positions over the coming weeks and needless to say one of the favourites for the Winter League Match Play Trophy.
There will be a break in the Winter League fixtures this weekend to facilitate the Annual Aileen Hallinan Memorial Men’s Teams of 4 Open Scramble. All the funds raised in this competition go towards the Donegal Hospice and a good turnout for this competition would be much appreciated.
