Close behind were Paul O’Halloran and Brian Williams with 4 skins each. Thursdays Single Stableford saw the highlights of the week with 2 holes in one on the tough 17th hole. Paul Moore was the first to put it in followed by Gregor Simpson later in the day. Gregor’s comment after hearing of Paul’s ace was that there was room for another one and proceeded to do just that. Fantastic shooting gentlemen. The days winner with a great 42 points was Robert Richards. Well done Bob. John Phillips also had 42 points but was beaten on a countback.
