Castlegregory Golf Club

Fresh from his victory in the DNG Giles sponsored singles stableford on Sunday, Mike Mercer was up early again on Bank Holiday Monday to get the better of 17 other top golfers in the Golfer of the Year Masters. This competition, kindly sponsored by Pat Prendeville, is for the 18 leading players in the Golfer of the Year table after the final qualifying competition. After an exceptional 37 points on Sunday in strong winds and sometimes driving rain, Mike went one better with a brilliant 38 in more difficult conditions on the Monday. This was a very rare double on consecutive days and rumour has it that Mike is keen on doing the three in a row next Sunday. Mike is a great club man and supporter of Castlegregory and well deserves his success. To prove that there is no equal to experience when the pressure is on, Mike was followed home in second place in both competitions by Fergus Moroney, who shot an excellent 37 points on Monday. Congratulations and well done to both.
