Crombie crowned ijm golfer of the year

Brian Crombie has been crowned IJM Golfer of the Year for the third time in five years.
Having won previously the Club’s Order of Merit in 2021 and 2023 Crombie made it a hat-trick of wins this year when he posted a scoring average of 71.29 off a total of 499 for his seven counting rounds over the 10 Golfer of the Year competitions.
That gave him a two-shot winning margin over Conal Murdock and Brendan Rogers who finished on 501 with last year’s Golfer of the Year, Frank Byrne, a shot further back in fourth on 502 followed by John Paul Casey, Neal MacKell and Cormac Malone on 503.  
The four in each of four handicap categories (Senior, Junior, Intermediate and Minor) will be invited to take part in the IJM Scratch Matchplay Finals which will take place over the weekend of September 20 and 21 with the semi-finals from 9am on the Saturday and finals from 10.30am on the Sunday. Unavailable qualifiers will be replaced by the next best placed player in the standings.
