Waterford Chamber of Commerce held its annual golf classic at Waterford Castle on Thursday 8th July. The day was hailed as a great success with 20 teams of four golfers playing in a very competitive 4-person scramble, with the added excitement of a “shotgun start”. The golf was played in excellent conditions with only a few spots of rain towards the end of the day.

In 1st place were team Tramore Copiers: Diarmait Ryan, Michael Aldridge, Gearoid Ryan and Eamonn Lyons; in 2nd place were Team WIT: Tom Egan, Alan Hearne, John Heffernan and Frank Walsh; in 3rd place were Team Sun Life Ireland: John Beardsley, Marc Daly, Brendan Moore and Liam Dunne. Longest drive was won by Nick O’Connor of Team McDonalds Waterford and nearest the pin won by Alan Weston of Team City Square.
