Carrick Golf Club 4Ball Qualifier
With 16 teams to qualify from a big field it was felt high scoring was required to make the cut,
especially with the “new” 9/10 of Handicap and so it proved with 39 points been the cut mark.
Of the three 39 point scores the one to miss out on B9 was Vice Captain Anthony Noone & Club Secretary Gordon Kavanagh.
Other notables who missed the cut last years winners Mick Gallagher & Martin Talbot & finalists from 2015 Hugh Bracken & The Barber.
“The Cousins” John Coffey & Shane Kelly missed out “again”, Captain Damien Duignan & Frank Curran,
Sean Bohan & Keith Duignan, Father & Son pairings of Albert & Keith Hogg, Declan & Jason Loftus and Tommy & Sean Mulvey all failed to make cut.
The McDermott’s are well represented in first round draw though with Noel & Mark being top scorer’s with a great score of 44 points matched by David & Fiachra Neary also on 44 including an eagle on the 9th by
David holing out his second shot for 5 points and Kevin McDermott & Kevin Gilboy who made the cut with 41.
