The Erry Pitch & Putt Club embraced the first of this year's sunny weather as they held their Annual Open Singles Strokeplay from Friday to Sunday last. A great crowd played over the three days enjoying both the course challenge, including the new 18th tee box, and the beautiful weather. Tribute must be paid to the club ground staff who had the course in great condition, the club committee who ran the competition so well over the three days and to John Meehan for providing the kitchen services for the duration, it was mush appreciated.
Following three days of some wonderful scoring the winners were announced as follows:
