Congratulations to Adrian Johnson on winning Pat Quinlan’s President's Prize at Clonmel Golf Club with an excellent round of level par, which translated to 44 points, beating Micheal Kenny and Grace Buckley by the narrowest margin of a single point.

Over 180 members played over the two days of the President's Prize, which was an incredible show of support for President Pat.

The weather was perfect over the two days and the incredible scoring was a reflection of the course and playing conditions.

Well done to everyone who took part, congratulations to the prize winers and also well done to Pat on an excellent weekend.

It was an extremely busy week in Clonmel Golf Club, with a small piece of history being created along the way. In Pat Quinlan’s President’s Prize to the Juniors, Cillian O’Reilly was best of the rest with a tremendous score of 42 points.

The week also saw the eagerly-anticipated return of the Paddy Wall Memorial Comeragh Scratch Cup, which is generously sponsored by the Wall family. Boys and girls from seven different clubs took to the fairways in Clonmel and congratulations to Moya McGarry, who created history by becoming the first winner of a junior girls competition in Clonmel Golf Club.

Clonmel's very own Junior Captain, Master Kevin Barry, came out on top in the boys with an incredible gross score of 73 and we look forward to next year continuing the trend, with entries and the number of clubs represented increasing year on year.
