Hibernian Golf Association

Fellow Hibernians,

What a day for a rumble. 

The boys were back at Sterling farms for an Irish Rumble and all of the usual silliness. Sure, it was cart-path-only, the fairways were soggy, and the rangers were over-caffeinated, but the lads still had a grand time. 

The winners:

Irish Rumble;

First place: Noel Connolly, Jarleth Carroll, Eric McDonald and PJ Tynan, 83 points, $300  (That’s $75 per man, Billy.)

Second place: Jamie Duggan, Ian Duggan, Craig Mahler-Duggan and James Duggan, 81 points, $200.

Singles:

John, so called Fairways Fahey, $75

Low Gross: 

James Duggan, 80, $10

Uncle Ian, 80, $10

Closest to the pin:

Fifth hole, PJ Tynan, 11’,  $50

Eighth hole, James Duggan, 35’, $50

Fifteenth hole, Cathal Brady, 22’,  $50

Seventeenth hole, Ian Duggan, 18”,  $50

As you can see, it was a big day for the Duggans, as those boys took home almost half of the winnings. Doing most of the heavy lifting was seventeen-year-old James Duggan, a third-generation Hibernian. The senior from Fairfield Prep won the low gross and would have led his Rumble team to victory had his dad made a couple of putts.

Thanks to Jimmy, Pat and all of the folks at the Old Place for putting out a great spread and putting up with Noel Connolly’s singing.

See you this Saturday at EGB, where Derek Williams and PJ Tynan will battle for the Club Championship.
