Brilliant round as Neil wins monthly medal competition

ON a blustery day members at Edenmore Golf Club played in the monthly medal stroke competition.

Neil McMullan, off a 14 handicap, played brilliantly on the front nine and was only three over par.

Neil had a few loose shots over the next three holes but soon regained his concentration to finish a superb round as the outright winner with a nett score of 68.

The Joint Captains evening was held last weekend and the Club Captains, Gary Watson and Heather Patterson, had a great turn out of members and friends for their dinner dance and buffet.

The prize winners collected their prizes from Gary and Heather and Lady Captain Heather was overjoyed to announce that her guests and friends on her Captain’s Day had managed to raise almost £1000 for her nominated charity, The Northern Ireland Cancer Fund for Children.
