There was no doubt about the winner of Richard Canavan’s prize at the week end with Tom Canavan (no relation) playing off 17 scoring a flawless 59 nett to go into the final 9 holes 9 full shots ahead of his nearest competitors.
This was the final major of the season and only the first that actually got played on its due date ,much to the relief of all involved.
Richard paid tribute to his fellow officers for the work they put in and to the greenkeeper, Dermot Casserly, and his team on the wonderful condition of the course.
