The Killyclogher/Cappagh Golf Classic 2009

After a nervous wait on the inclement weather, Friday the 21st of August would turn out to a special day for all the golfers who took part. Club man and current Omagh Golf Club Captain, John Wallace said ‘it looked like we might be rained off but the greens keepers and staff worked through the night to ensure the course was playable’.

And playable it was, forty five teams took part with a first tee time of 9am right through to the final team driving off at 5 in the evening. Apart for a few odd showers the day went brilliantly and the atmosphere on the course was matched only by the atmosphere in the Clubhouse; where late into the evening the all important prizes were handed out.

We would like to take the opportunity to thank our sponsors & to everyone who took part and made the day such a ‘Classic’…
