A fantastic Captain’s Prize has come to a close at Kilrush Golf Club, and what a fitting way to crown our 2026 champion!
Huge congratulations to Donncadh Nagle, who produced a brilliant 68 gross in the playoff to claim the Captain’s Prize. An exceptional round when it mattered most and a thoroughly deserved victory. Donncadh gives an enormous amount to Kilrush Golf Club, particularly through the time and encouragement he dedicates to our Junior members, so it was wonderful to see him enjoy such a memorable win. 👏⛳
The two weekends were a perfect tribute to the tremendous work of our Captain, Brian Scanlan. Brian has dedicated countless hours to the club and, in particular, to the course throughout the year. That same care and attention was evident in the fantastic selection of prizes and the superb way they were presented, which made the occasion feel all the more special. We know Brian can look back with great pride on a hugely successful Captain’s Prize.
Congratulations also to Seamus O’Doherty, Ian Dillon, John K Ryan, Gearoid Williams and Patrick Coleman on filling the remaining leading places, and to Tom Browne on taking the Gross prize. Congratulations too to all of our category, qualifier, Past Captain, nine-hole, nearest-the-pin, longest-drive, guest, distance-member and lady-member prize winners. A brilliant achievement by everyone who featured in the prizes. 🏆
A massive thank you must go to our course staff, who had all 18 holes in absolutely phenomenal condition – and, as befits a Captain’s Prize, appropriately difficult! The presentation of the course across both weekends was a credit to all the work that goes on behind the scenes.
Finally, a huge thank you to Martina and her staff for the lovely refreshments and hospitality provided across both weekends. As always, it was very much appreciated by everyone.
Congratulations once again to Donncadh, to all our prize winners, and especially to Captain Brian Scanlan on a Captain’s Prize, and year of dedication, to be very proud of. 💚⛳🏆
