Letterkenny Golf Club Ryder Cup gets underway

There was plenty of good golf, friendly rivalry and a bit of banter at Letterkenny Golf Club today as the inaugural Townies v Blow Ins Ryder Cup got underway.

Day one saw the doubles matches played in the Scotch Foursomes format, with both teams keen to get an early advantage ahead of tomorrow’s singles.

It was a closely fought day, with some excellent matches going right down to the wire. When the final scores were added up, it was the Blow Ins who took a narrow lead, 3½ points to 2½.

That leaves everything to play for tomorrow, when the singles matches will decide who takes the bragging rights.

The Blow Ins are captained by Ryan Ludick, while Chris Nee is leading the Townies. A big thanks to both Ryan and Chris for putting the work in behind the scenes to organise the event and get everyone involved. It has already made for a great day at the club.

With just one point separating the teams, tomorrow promises to be an exciting finish.

Blow Ins 3½ – Townies 2½

Who will have the bragging rights in Letterkenny tomorrow evening? ⛳

A great day for Junior Golf LK, as Harry Burke lifted the Kernaghan Cup at Portsalon Golf Club. 🏆🏌️‍♂️

Harry beat fellow clubmate and friend Oisin Connors on the final green in a thrilling final. There was never more than a hole in it, with Oisin taking an early advantage before Harry clawed it back, leaving them all square as they stood on the 18th tee.

It was nip and tuck all the way on 18, but it was Harry Burke who edged it to claim the cup.

Great play from both lads. 👏🏌️‍♂️👏🏌️‍♂️

Earlier in the day, we also had fellow Junior Golf LK lads Con Boyle and James Davidson competing in the semifinals.

The Shaw Shield for Handicap Juniors U18 was also played for on the day, adding another great dimension to what was a fantastic day of junior golf at Portsalon. 👏🏌️‍♂️

I have no doubt we’ll see Harry and Oisin paired up as teammates in future LK teams. It wasn’t to be this time for Oisin, but he has everything in place for his game to go from strength to strength.

A huge thank you to Eamonn, Stephen, Sean and Oisin at Portsalon Golf Club for hosting and helping make it such a great day for Junior Golf LK. 👏👏

Well done again to Harry, who has worked incredibly hard on his game this year. The hard work gets results! 💪🏆👏

President Ivan Furey’s Junior Presidents Prize

President Ivan Furey hosted his Presidents Prize to Juniors at Letterkenny Golf Club on Monday. Despite the wet weather, the conditions did not dampen the enthusiasm of the juniors, who turned out in great numbers for Ivan’s special day. The course was in excellent shape, with the greenkeepers once again excelling.

The winner of Ivan’s Presidents Prize for Senior Boys was Jonathan Russell. Renowned for his big hitting, Jonathan also had his short game finely tuned, returning a superb score of 38 points off an 8 handicap. Runner-up Charlie Patton shot a 1-over gross for 35 points, with Harry Kelso continuing his fine season in third place and Cian Gildea taking fourth.

In the 18-Hole Non-Handicap competition, Michael Shevlin edged out Harry Burke. In the 9-Hole category, James Davidson clinched victory ahead of Adam Trayers, with the Haran brothers, Sean Óg and Iarlaith, finishing third and fourth respectively.

In the Girls’ Junior competition, Junior Captain Hazel Daly captured Ivan’s Presidents Prize, with her friend Annabell Koentopp finishing runner-up.

The 7-Hole Boys category saw Tom O’Mahoney claim top spot. Marcus Trayers, Dylan Gallagher and Fionn McHugh finished second, third and fourth respectively.

In the 5-Hole Boys category, Eddie Downes finished ahead of his brother Riain, meaning Eddie has the bragging rights for now! Donnacha McConville and Patrick Brennan completed the top four.

Hunters was the place to be afterwards, where the LK Juniors were looked after superbly. The Junior Committee — Elaine, Mary, Gavin and Ian — along with Junior Convenor Seamus, ensured the smooth running of the event. The assistance and support of parents throughout the day was also invaluable.

A special acknowledgement was made to President Ivan for his commitment to Letterkenny Golf Club and for the many roles he has undertaken for the club through the years. All the juniors at Junior Golf LK wished Ivan the very best of luck for his upcoming Adult Presidents Prizes.

A fantastic day was had by all, and a fitting celebration of the Junior section and President Ivan’s contribution to Letterkenny Golf Club.
