NEWCASTLE WEST
MUNSTER U18 AMATEUR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP: Last week was a busy one at Newcastle West Golf Club as budding young amateur golfers, male and female, converged on the club from the four provinces and beyond to compete in the Munster U18 Amateur Open Championship. This prestigious event on the junior calendar was rolled out over three days and the golf on display was scintillating – thus assuring the spectators and officials that the future of golf is in safe hands.
When the tournament drew to a close on Thursday afternoon the two golfers who remained standing were Lucy Grattan from Tralee Golf Club in the girls’ section and Fergal Coyle from Athenry Golf Club in the boys’ section. With the win in Newcastle West, Grattan secured her third Munster U18 Girls' Amateur Open Championship title. She had a one-stroke victory over Ella Cantwell from Esker Hills Golf Club who shot an amazing course record 67 (-5) in Round Two.
The boys’ championship was a much tighter affair that produced a thrilling finish. An extra hole was required to separate the top two before Fergal Coyle claimed the crown on the 19th with a win over Finn Jolly from Dun Laoighre Golf Club. The success of the tournament didn’t happen by accident; it took an amount of planning and preparation.
High Kudos to the greenkeeping staff who had the course in pristine condition; to the Golf Ireland Officials who kept the tournament running like a well-oiled machine and to the management and staff of Newcastle West Golf Club who facilitated this wonderful event.
