The links were in perfect order, and it was
anticipated that some at least of the scores
returned would have been much
lower.
Doubtless the reason why some of the com
petitors did not do better was that they were
over eager to win the President's Cup. One
competitor in particular, although he finished
with a net score of 87, took no less than 11
strokes for the first hole. On the day of the
competition this hole was by no means a
difficult 4.
In the afternoon there was a
Foursome Competition. The prizes for this
competition were also presented by
the
President.
These
foursomes were
(on
handicap) against bogey, the partners being
drawn for by the Committee.
The winning pair were Mr. Frank Fottrell
and Mr. R. G. Warren. The former being a
scratch golfer, and the latter one of the finest
half-backs that Ireland ever produced, and
who more than once captained the Irish
International Rugby Football Team.
The success of the meeting was largely due
to the assistance and untiring energy of
Mr. Godfrey Power, Secretary of the Port-
marnock Golf Club, wh:> worked indefatigably
from 9 o'clock in the morning until the last
competitor had holed out his final putt on
the last green.
