Week 1
18 brave players braced a rough day on the links as storm Lorenzo approached. 6 pros and 12 amateurs turned up for our first R59 of the year. With winds reaching 40+ kilometres an hour, our own Wayne Sheehan took home first nett with a great round of 76 nett. Losing out by one was Vincent Conroy with another admirable score of 77. Simon Began was the only pro in the prizes today with a credible score of 78 gross, beating Chris Farrell by 3. Hopefully, the conditions will improve for next Thursday.

Week 2
Week 2 of the 2019 Race to 59 got under way in, although a stiff breeze for the competitors , it was much calmer than last weeks play during storm Lorenzo. Scoring was good with Ciaran Lavery taking the nett with a fantastic level par 66. Local boy Killian Tol was second with 67. 67 was a popular score with the gross price going to Greenore head professional Robert Giles.
Congratulations must also go to Brian Doheny who also had a 67 gross but was piped on the last 9 for a prize. However Brain did score the 1st hole in one of the 2019 Race to 59 when he aced the short 4th hole. Congratulations Brian.

Corballis member Mark McAuley scored a 64 nett with a triple bogey on 13 to finish second. The gross was won by a regular on the leaderboard Robert Gile with a fine 64. Coming off a disappointing week at tour school, Gavin Moynihan was second in the gross with a nice 65. Thanks to everyone who took part, see you at the same time and place next week!
