Walsh Wins Munster Under 17 Title
Munster inter-provincial player Edward Walsh led a strong charge from Mallow today at the Munster U15/17 Close at Carrick on Suir. Walsh was two clear of the field at the end of play, posting a one under par 71. Walsh got off to a great start with a birdie on the first hole but he went on to bogey the index two 4th hole. He played some very steady golf after that, carding 12 pars and 2 birdies. He stood on the 18th tee on -2 but a frustrating three putt on the final hole was the only blemish on a great performance. Walsh, playing off 2, was a member of the victorious Munster U16 Interprovincial team recently. He finished two shots clear of Cahir Park’s Ian Halpin and Fota Island’s Shane Galvin was third with a 74.
Killarney’s Luke Walsh won the Under 15 prize, thanks to a birdie on the last which meant that he beat Mallow’s Daniel O’Sullivan by a single stroke with a 75. There was more good news for Mallow when Ronan Feerick took third place, carding Continue reading

No Friday Feeling for Cork Golfers in Lahinch, South of Ireland Day 3 Report
Cathal Butler (Kinsale)
Friday was a bad day for Cork golfers in Lahinch as the matchplay stages of the Pierse Motors South of Ireland got underway. Four Cork golfers qualified through to the top 64 matchplay, but by Friday evening all four had exited the competition. Paul McCarthy made a stunning start to the competition on Wednesday and Thursday during the strokeplay qualifying rounds. McCarthy was -5 for 36 holes but lost out in the matchplay when David Foy beat him on the 16th green. Peter O’Keeffe also lost out in the first round. Robbie Cannon, his playing partner from Wednesday and Thursday got the better of him with an impressive 6&4 win.
