Mourne Golf Club News<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connor Pimm continued his recent good form to win last Sunday\u2019s May Medal, while Mourne Golf Club\u2019s annual Open Week was a great success with players from across the province taking to both courses at Newcastle.<\/h4>\n

Pimm carded a one-over 72 for a nett 68 on the Championship Links at Royal County Down to comfortably win by three shots from Lenny Murray in second. Pimm enjoyed a steady round that contained just three dropped shots and birdies at the sixth and ninth.<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s round unravelled early when he ran up a nine at the second. However, the veteran steadied the ship for the remainder of the round and benefited from timely birdies at the sixth and 13th<\/sup>.\u00a0 The chasing pack on 72 included Michael McLaughlin, Peter Murphy and Michael McKenna.<\/p>\n

Mourne Open Week is typically played in July, but after coming out of the pandemic, Royal County Down were kind enough to allocate Mourne a week in May despite the significant demand on tee times as overseas visitors return to Newcastle to play the famous links.<\/p>\n

Although the elements were against the players on some of the days, there was a great buzz around the club with ladies\u2019, men\u2019s and mixed competitions played on both the Championship Links and Annesley Links. The week concluded with a prizegiving evening last Friday where sponsors were invited as the club gave thanks for their ongoing support.<\/p>\n

Too many to mention, but special thanks to Motis, Kevan Whitson, Mivan, Drumcastle Ltd, Smyths Centra, Coleman R Hanna Solicitors, Slieve Donard Hotel, Property Directions and of course Royal County Down Golf Club, for without their support, Mourne Open Week would not be possible.<\/p>\n

It was also a fine week for team golf with Mourne\u2019s Junior Cup, Jimmy Bruen, All-Ireland Fourball and Fred Perry teams all advancing to the next round of their respective interclub competitions.<\/p>\n

John Murphy\u2019s Junior Cup side defeated Downpatrick 4-1 and will take on Helen\u2019s Bay in the next round. Barry Hillen\u2019s Jimmy Bruen team defeated Nuremore 3-2 and will play Banbridge or Bright in the next round. Michael Keane\u2019s All-Ireland Fourball team won 3-2 against Aughnacloy and will take on either Belvoir or Nuremore in the next round, and Emlyn Williamson\u2019s Fred Perry side won 3-2 against Lough Erne and will play Clandeboye in the next round.<\/p>\n
