Mother Nature smiled on Killarney Golf and Fishing Club last Friday as the rain experienced in many parts of the country gave way to more benign conditions for our annual Golf Classic. Play got underway at 8.10am with the final trio out at 4pm.
The office suppliers "Brother" assembled a team and they played like a family unit to claim top prize on 95 points. Jim and Ciaran Kennedy , alongside Anthony O Mahony, made up the winner formula. They were chased all the way home by the Pat Kissane sponsored team of Maurice McCarthy , David O Sullivan and Pat Casey , who they only bettered in the back nine. There was only a point between the top three teams as the Legion Senior team trio of Darragh O Doherty, Finbarr Murphy and David O Sullivan , playing under the McGuire and Liston banner, clicked for 94 points. The O'Sullivans Pharmacy Team took the honours in fourth place where Ian Prendergast , Peter O Sullivan and Gary Vaughan checked in with a tidy 93 point effort . Bryan Griffin's iron shot into the picturesque 18th earned him the nearest to the pin prize while Kieran Cremins monster drive clinched the longest drive.

The Club would like to thank most sincerely everyone who took part in the Golf Classic , sponsored a team or a tee box and bought tickets in the raffle. We are also very grateful to Patrick O’Donoghue and the GlenEagle Hotel group for their generous sponsorship of the Classic. Special thanks to Enda Murphy and his greenkeeping team who had the course in immaculate shape as per usual. Finally this event would not be the success it was, 51 teams took part, without the work of our guru Sean Murphy who cajoles and coordinates the Classic.
