Update
Congratulations to DLR Chamber on a wonderful day. Druid’s Glen was glorious with perfect weather. The food break by Hick’s in between the 9th and 10th was really welcome. They even supplied me with a vegetarian option. I was really happy with the driver I had bought the previous day in McGuirks Golf.
The highlight of my round was a 3 on the par 3 17th – 168 yds over water onto an island green. Thanks to Martin Toner for his coaching on the run up to the event.
