| PRESIDENT'S
CUP |
| After
a summer of arranging match play games for the various rounds
of the President’s Cup the original entry list was finally
whittled down to two hearty souls, Ryan Hay and Neil McKeown,
who battled it out in the final on Tuesday (9th September).
In the end the two couldn’t be separated over the 18
holes and the match went to an extra hole when Ryan Hay succeeded
in becoming the club’s 2008 Singles Champion. Congratulations
to Ryan but also to Neil who battled through all the rounds
and couldn’t be shaken off until that extra hole. Well
played both. |
