August Event

As we come off the first hole, it's been an exciting start for this group. Eoin Rockall and Evan O'Keeffe both made a bright entrance with birdies, putting them at one under par. Eoghan Considine managed a solid par, bringing him to even par. However, the day hasn't been as kind to Ciaran Greene, who unfortunately recorded a double bogey, placing him two over par. It's a mixed bag, but there's plenty of golf still to come!

@GolfWithLaughter: Ciaran Greene must think he's playing bingo out there with all those +2s! At this rate, he might as well call the front nine a "game of chance"! 😂🏌️‍♂️ #BetterLuckNextTime #GolfHumor
