The Open Fourball continues until February and again despite the damp conditions scoring was well above par with the dynamic duo of Paddy Mooney and John Doyle on 42 points again providing a great performance for first. In second were the old post office workmates Jimmy Bolger and Nick Casey recording 41 points (last 6) and visitors Dermot Walsh (Rosslare) and Derek Wickham (St. Helen's Bay), no strangers to the course, carding 41 points. The clubs committee members had a lovely day out in Bunclody Golf Club last Sunday. The winning team carding a remarkable 93 points of which 5 were attributed to an eagle on the 18th par 5 when Pat Mulvey placed his drive in position A1 for a clear shot with a fairway wood to the green leaving it pin high four feet from the hole. The course was in great condition and Enniscorthy Golf Club Captain Declan Lyons thanked Nick Byrne club President and club Captain Ciaran Redmond for their reception and generosity on the day on behalf of the lady Captain Cora Mernagh and committee members present. Kevin Markham has recently reviewed the course on his blog located at http://golfcoursesireland.blogspot.com and given it a favourable evaluation.
