April Event

Mike Rockall's swing is a curious sight to behold. It looks like he’s trying to do a little dance instead of hitting a golf ball.

• First, that takeaway is far too wide; he’s practically inviting everyone on the course to join him for a round.
• Then there’s the follow-through—if only he could put as much effort into making solid contact.

Overall, it’s a classic case of needing to simplify before he can properly compete. Maybe he should consider taking a few lessons before he ends up on the comedy channel.

Mike Rockall has just faced a challenging moment on the 16th hole.

• Score: Double Bogey
• Total: -3

It's been a tough finish for him here. Let's see if he can bounce back on the 17th.

As we head into the final stretch, it's been a challenging couple of holes for Tony McHale, who has struggled with a double bogey on both the 16th and 17th, keeping him at +9 for the round. In contrast, Ciaran Greene showed some resilience after a birdie at the 16th, only to slip back with a bogey on the 17th, leaving him at +8. Oisin O'Malley continues to hold steady, carding pars on both holes to remain at +2, while Alan Dempsey mirrors Oisin's consistent play, with a birdie on the 16th followed by a par on the 17th, also sitting at +2. It's shaping up to be a dramatic finish for this group.

As we turn our attention to the action on the back nine, Brendan Considine has had a mixed bag on the 14th and 15th holes. He carded a solid par on 14 but stumbled with a bogey on 15, maintaining a total of one under par. Dave Flanagan, steady as always, managed to secure par on both holes, leaving him at five over par. Meanwhile, Danny Finn bounced back from a double bogey on 14 to find the green in regulation for par on 15, holding steady at one over par. Finally, Stevie Geraghty has struggled, posting a double bogey on both holes to sit at a rather daunting twenty-two over, as he continues to search for form.

Watching Brendan Considine swing is like witnessing a car trying to navigate a winding road at max speed—it's all over the place. His takeaway looks like he’s trying to swat a fly rather than set up for a powerful shot. Here are a few observations:

• His grip is too weak, leaving him vulnerable to inconsistent ball striking.
• That stance? It’s wider than a linebacker’s, but he doesn’t seem to use it for balance.
• And the follow-through? Let’s just say it’s less of a finish and more of a suggestion.

Honestly, with a little work, he might just find himself in a completely different zip code on the scorecard.

Mike Rockall continues to impress, now standing at five under par after fifteen holes, displaying an impressive command of his game. Brendan Considine remains the closest challenger at two under, having completed fourteen holes, and he’ll be eager to close the gap as he heads into the final stretch. Liam Rockall and Danny Finn both sit at one over par after their respective rounds, vying for opportunities to make a late push and solidify their positions in the standings.

Phil Staunton has finished his round at one over after eighteen holes, but the pressure intensifies for those still on the course. Oisin O'Malley and Alan Dempsey are both at two over after sixteen holes, while Steve Horgan concludes his play at two over after eighteen. Ryan Kelly and Evan O'Keeffe are struggling at three over, with Kelly finishing up his round and O'Keeffe still on the course. As we head into the final holes, every player still has a chance to change their fortunes with strong finishes, but Rockall remains in the driver’s seat.

Tony McHale has just faced a challenging hole.

• Hole: 16
