MACREDDIN

Maccreddin Golf Club captain Martin Gannon had his drive-in to kick off the golf season recently. We had a champagne scramble with some very good scoring.

The winners were Chris Murphy’s team with 104 points. Second were Jack Byrne’s team with 98.

It was a very enjoyable day with a great turn out of members and the course was in great condition.
