Here at Cork Golf Club we hosted the 41st ladies scratch cup on Saturday April 14th, which has been running in Cork Golf Club since 1977. Sponsored by Henry Ford, the weekend’s tournament saw Louise Coffey (Malone) win Corks Ladies Scratch Cup with an overall gross score of 155. Followed by;

3) Claire Coughlan Ryan (Cork) – 156

4) Molly Dowling (Lucan) – 157

5) Karen O’Neill (Douglas) – 158

6) Margaret McAuliffe (Ballybunion) – 158

  

Ruth Maguire (Corrstown) won best net with a total of 148, followed by Deirdre O’Mahony (East Cork) with 151.

Aoife Lowry (Tipperary) won best gross score in the first 18 round with 79 and Paula Walsh (Doneraile) best gross score in the second 18 round with 77.

The ladies scratch cup took a new approach this year to allow players the opportunity to gain points for the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) by pairing scratch cup events. Consisting of eight 36-hole events, the events have been paired to create a 72-hole tournament, where players who play in both competitions will have their scores merged and passed to WAGR following the conclusion of events. In creating the 72-hole tournament, Cork Golf Club has been paired with Hermitage Golf Club, which takes place on May 6th.
