Strandhill Golf Club Notes 16/7/17 – Men’s Branch.
On a very windy day on Strandhill Links the members came out in force to play in Mr Leo Logan’s Presidents Day on Saturday 15th July. Scoring was difficult with the gusting winds in the morning and the drizzly rain in the afternoon. John White took top honours from Gertrude Crummy they both had 39 points with John having the better back nine. John was a very popular winner and he lifted the beautiful Crystal Lamp presented by Leo at the evening festivities. A great night was had by all and this was testament to the popularity of Leo during his presidency.
Congratulations to Dean McGowan who had a hole in one on the 9th hopefully the first of many Dean.
Strandhill Golf Club have an Open Week from Saturday 22nd July to Sunday 30th July please keep the dates in your diary and encourage members, friends and visitors to experience Strandhill Golf Club at its best and participate in daily competitions for a great array of prizes.

FAO: All club members – please forward this email to your members as it contains details of an exclusive ticket offer for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open which takes place next month at Portstewart.
The Confederation of Golf in Ireland (CGI) have teamed up with the European Tour to give golf fans a great deal for this year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open hosted by the Rory Foundation at Portstewart Golf Club, from July 6-9.
Buy your tickets using the promotional code GOLFNET, and you will receive a £10 voucher to spend at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open merchandise unit.
After a fantastic 2016 championship at The K Club, Kildare where Rory McIlroy produced two incredible shots in the last three holes to secure victory, the host will defend his title as the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open heads to Northern Ireland for the third time in six years.
Located near Royal Portrush which staged the event in 2012, the European Tour is bringing one of its most popular tournaments back to Antrim with large crowds expected to flock once again.
Set on Ulster’s stunning Causeway Coast, Portstewart features three 18-hole layouts, with the Des Giffin-designed Strand Course — which will host the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open in 2017 — considered the jewel in the crown. Enhanced in 1986 on natural links land known as ‘Thistly Hollow’, the Strand Course has hosted numerous amateur tournaments including The Amateur Championship in 2014.
