Frankfield winners of Mocad Trophy
Frankfield G.C First winners of The Mocad Trophy (Golf competition for all 9 Hole clubs in Munster)
The inaugural Mocad trophy for all 9 hole golf Clubs in Munster was played in Ringenane G C on Saturday 20th August 2011.The weather forecasters got there predictions all wrong for the day as it was meant to rain but we had none.
The first ever tee shot in this trophy was taken by David O Sullivan from Glengarriff G.C playing off 4. It was very evident early on in the morning the enthusiasm of the clubs by the Spanish Point team turning up at 9:30 for there tee time at 1:00 unfortunately as the time sheet was full we could not accommodate them with an earlier tee time.
All clubs commented favourably on the format of the competition (4 Players: Cat 1- 0 to 7 ,Cat 2- 8 to 14 ,Cat 3- 15 to 21 and Cat 4- 22 to 28) and were grateful to Michael O Connell MD of Mocad Golf Trolleys for his company's sponsorship.
Sean Wade captain of the winning Frankfield team thanked all in Ringenane for the course and hospitality for the day and was delighted Frankfield would be the first of all the 9 Hole clubs (little clubs as he put it) in Munster to have there name on the magnificent Mocad Trophy and was looking forward to defending their title next year in Spanish Point G.C.
