The Winners of the 2016 Wild Atlantic Way Championship were Connemara Golf Links. Pictured at the prize presentation in The Abbeyglen Castle Hotel from left to right President Michael Moran, Lady Captain Maura O’Connor, the team of John Sweeney (8), Team Captain Paddy Flaherty (11), Kathleen Burke (11) & Derek Joyce (9) Host Brian Hughes, Abbeyglen Castle Hotel and Captain Pat Casey. With four birdies on both 9’s, Connemara had a fantastic score of 64 gross (60.1 nett), never dropping a shot. It was a great round of golf and they were deserved winners of this years event. Again, the event proved to be a huge success with twenty teams taking part from up and down the Wild Atlantic Way. The competition took place on Sunday November 6th in windy but fair conditions the format was a four ball scramble, 4 drives to count, 1/10 the combined handicap. Well done to Connemara on a great victory and also our President Michael Moran for picking such a strong team. The competition will move on to Carne Golf Links, Belmullet for 2017, and we wish them every success with the event.
Thanks to Brian Hughes and all at The Abbeyglen Castle Hotel for a great nights dining and entertainment. Thanks also to Gerry Maguire from Carne Golf Links, Belmullet, who will host next years event on Sunday 08th October 2017.
