Alan Loftus Claims Captains Prize.

After a marathon of golf over the August bank holiday weekend which needed an extra day to complete due to the heavy downpour on Sunday wiped out Sunday’s scheduled play, Alan Loftus claimed Sean Bohan’s Captains Prize by two strokes from Paul O’Brien who had led after 36 holes, but a disastrous start to the 3rd 9 on Monday evening by O’Brien let Loftus back in and he calmly finished with par par to win by two shots and claim his first Captains Prize. Well played Alan and hard luck to all the players who competed in the 3rd 9, especially Paul O’Brien who shot a fabulous 59 in the qualifying round on Saturday the weather and extra day didnt help his cause. Well done Captain Sean on wonderful array of prizes, it was a difficult few days with the stress levels added to by the weather on Friday & Saturday, but a good call on Sunday morning assured a great days golf on Monday.
