Clement’s long wait is finally over in Killarney

The golf society made our second trip to Killarney last Saturday to play the Killeens course on our Vice Captains prize outing. This was our last outing in 2011. With the forecast as poor as it was, a larger than expected crowd turned up. As it turned out, the weather didn’t play as big a factor as anticipated as the winner and runner up were both out in the height of the storm. The later starters could not take advantage of the glorious conditions in the afternoon to grab the glory.

The winner on the day was Clement Hehir. This is Clements first victory in the society in the last 12 years and was long overdue. He must have felt the gods were against him as the skies opened for the whole of the front nine but he held his composure and set the clubhouse lead with some lovely golf on the back nine. Well done Clement.

In second place and playing with Clement on the day, was Ger Finn. Ger has had a super year and was very unlucky not to claim the spoils on the day. The other podium spot went to Seamus Moloney. Seamus is renowned for his putting and the beautiful greens in Killarney were a dream for the man from Gotoon.

The other prizewinners were Paul Allen, Tommy Allen and Pat Nagle. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all members for supporting the Vice Captain, Pat Nagle, on his day in Killarney. The prizes were presented in Fitzgeralds Bar on Saturday evening. Many thanks to Mike for making it back to Kilmallock in time to look after us so well on the night.
