The Blue Monster Tamed

The Blue Monster, one of Castlecomer Golf Clubs’ signature events has been well and truly tamed by Ciaran Kelly. Shooting a magnificent 46 points, the veteran belied his years and decimated the field with an incredible score. Playing off 15 Ciaran shot 5 over to blow the rest of the field away and capture this prestigious event. Played off the championship markers only once a year and measuring 6180 metres, bragging rights belong to the Crettyard man for 12 months. Fellow Laois man Shane Coakley was the winner in Category 1 with 43 points while Thomas Breen was second after a count back with 36 points. Club stalwart and fans favourite Michael Buggy won the gross prize for the millionth time shooting 34 points. Martin Bully Brennan won Category 2 on 40 points. First in Category 3 was Alan Williams scoring 42 points with Paul Mullan runner up on 39 points. Many thanks to all who competed in this flagship competition and hearty congratulations once again to Ciaran for caging the Blue Monster and all other prize winners. Special word of thanks also to sponsor Eoin O’ Connor, Golf Instructor for his continued support for this extremely popular competition, and we wish him well in the coming season.
