BTU round-up from Hermitage, Luttrellstown and St Margaret’s

The BTU season is in full swing with new members coming on board, former members re-joining, and quite a number of new sponsors becoming involved. Attendances at all outings are now noticeably higher. Reports from the most recent outings follow.

Hermitage

Sponsor: ISOPARTNER

The Captain’s outing at The Hermitage was a major success with 52 golfers participating and virtually all remaining on for the dinner and presentation of prizes later that evening. Sponsor on the day was ISOPARTNER with both Paudie and Shaun Gillen representing the company at the event.

The weather was perfect and the course immaculate, which resulted in some very competitive scoring. However, overall winner Maurice Kelly won the day with 39pts, playing off a handicap of 12.4. Various class winners were as follows:

Luttrellstown Sponsor: Mueller Europe

Despite the difficult Spring we experienced, the Luttrellstown course was in excellent condition with the greens magnificent as always. A further bonus was the beautiful weather, except for the odd shower. It meant the 40 participants had a wonderful outing. Winners were as follows:

Visitors

St Margarets

Sponsor: Victualic

Despite the major disruption on the M50 because of a serious traffic incident, it was something of a miracle that 30 members and guests still managed to make it to St Margarets. Unfortunately, at least another 10 potential contestants were forced to return home, having been stuck in the motorway traffic snarl-up for over two hours.

Nonetheless, those who did make it were lucky in that the weather was perfect and all had a very enjoyable, but also very competitive, day. Results were as follows:

Class 1

Winner: Ger Hutchinson, H7.3, 36pts; Second: Kieran Ryan, H9.1, 34pts; Third: Graham Fay, H5, 33pts.

Class 2

Winner: Michael Bready, H16.1, 35pts; Second: Shane Tobin, H22.1, 34-1=33pts; Third: Vincent Broderick, H20.6, 36-3=33pts.

Visitors

Winner: Stephen Moriarty, H8.8, 45pts.
