President Bryan Lynch's Prize & Turkey Outing at Sutton Golf Club - Friday October 7th
The final 18 hole outing of the Ireland’s Eye Golfing Society 2016 season was held at Sutton Golf Club on 7th October, where it has been held for every year since the foundation of the Society in 1992. There was a great turnout with 41 players. The winner, on a beautifully warm but testing windy golfing day, was Roddy Cooper, who only just managed to defeat our Commodore Berchmans Gannon by a point. The singles matchplay championship was won by Paddy Judge, who defeated Joe Cull in the final. The mixed foursomes matchplay championship was won by Bernardine Jennings and Roddy Cooper (photo above), who defeated Jackie Reville and Damian Jennings in the final. The Golfer of the Year Commodore’s Cup was won by Billy Quinn, the Bob Fannin Trophy was won by Roddy Cooper, the Horn Trophy was won by our President Bryan Lynch, and the Golfer of the Year Putter Trophy was won by Joe Cull. An excellent dinner rounded off the day.
