rossmore pair claim open honours

A run of solid consistent scoring on the opening nine holes set Paul Clifford from Rossmore Golf Club on his way to eventually winning the mid-week 18 holes Open Singles Stableford Competition with 39 points.
Paul, playing off a 21 handicap, set out his stall early with a par four at the first hole for three points, tagged on three two pointers and a single point, before settling into a scoring flourish with a run of three pointers from the sixth to the eighth holes to reach the turn with 21 points.
He maintained his solid scoring for most of the back nine, carding five two pointers, then dipped to back to back single points before finishing in style with a par four at the 18th hole for three points to come home with 18 points.
The runner up prize also went to a member of Rossmore Golf Club, Kevin Murray, who finished with 38 points.
