Sean Quinn's Captain's Day got off to a soggy start. Fortunately the weather improved as the day went on. The play off was played in beautiful evening sunshine. President's Day champion, Daniel Devine put himself in pole position with a opening nett 61 and held his nerve during the play-off to win the Captain's Prize, completing an incredible double which Daniel had predicted in his President's Prize victory speech. For the second time this season, Daniel 'shot the bar'. Well done Daniel!

Thank you to Ballyliffin for a great sporting match. Club member, Darcy Hogg heads off to Kent University in the USA in the Autumn. We wish Darcy lots of luck on the next leg of his journey. Before focusing on a summer of golf and competing for more trophies, Darcy is returning the trophies he won last year - The Ulster Boys' U18 Championship and the Ulster U18 Order of Merit. Darcy's name on the Ulster Boys' Trophy joins some illustrious names from the upper echelons of our sport - Harry Diamond, Ricky Elliot (Rory & Brooks caddies) Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy (twice). We hope once Darcy is on the tour and competing for majors that he comes back to see us from time to time!

Paul McGinley and Joe Bedford from Paul McGinley Design, https://paulmcginleydesign.com/ yesterday, shared with members their vision for the future of Dunfanaghy Golf Club. Paul and Joe walked the fairways with members on a very breezy and sometimes wet afternoon to bring to life for members their plans for the redesign of some of the holes at the eastern end of the course.
Later in the evening, Paul presented to a packed club house and many more members on Zoom. This resulted in a resounding endorsement from members for all of Paul's plans. We look forward to the next steps on this exciting journey. We would all like to express our immense gratitude to Paul and Joe for all their incredible efforts and their generosity.
