They were not disappointed as Sam spoke at length of his pride in Enniskillen Golf Club and his admiration for the hard work done by so many volunteer workers to make the Club one of the best in the country.

    Thanking all who had contributed to his President's Day, Sam went on to commend the course condition and the fine greens which proved a real test of golf for all the competitors.

    Thanking the many visiting Club representatives who turned up to pay their respects to a most popular President, Sam also thanked the many members who competed for a fine array of prizes.

    And so to the results. As the winning score was announced it was enthusiastically applauded as Pat Concannon had shown that he is still one of the best local golfers around. Pat, playing off a 12 handicap, returned a nett 64 which was a score made by steady tee to green golf and a deadly putting stroke.

    Pat in his acceptance speech was also complimentary about the course and thanked the President for a most valuable selection of prizes.

    In second place was David Humphreys who shot a marvellous nett 65 off his 9 handicap. David has long been a single figure golfer and it was good to see him in the frame.

    Third place was decided on countback with Pat McCaffrey pushing Ian Lyttle into fourth place. Pat had stood on 15 at three over gross but a double bogey followed by dropped shots at the 16th and 17th were to prove costly.

    Pat was as ever philosophical about his finish and was clearly delighted to be among the top prize winners.

    Their were many note worthy scores and these included the reliable Rodney Howe who won the best gross prize and the nearest the pin on the 11th.

    The longest drive on the 18th was struck by young Andrew Davidson who hit a mighty drive.

    Nicholas Wilson took the Junior prize with an impressive return and the future looks bright with some exceptional talent on the horizon.

    The President's Prize for the Ladies was a hard fought battle with Martina McCaffrey showing that Pat isn't the only golfer in the family as she took that competition from runner-up Ruth Crooke.

    Proving that lightning does strike twice was Blacklion visitor Patsy Ferguson who followed up last year's success with another 38 points and the Visitor's prize for a second term.

    As the night turned to day, the music and entertainment was of the highest quality, and President Sam Robinson reflected on a job well done.
