Welcome to the 2001 PJMurphy Invitational Page

Another year has come and gone and yet again I have another excuse for not updating the page..Mad busy and the arrival of a dog....I just keep coming up with some excellent excuses..

The players of 2001



Jim,Ray,Phil,Dave,Mick,Andy
Rob,Barry,Turlough,Connor,PJ(with yellow hat....)
As with all invitationals we have to have rain at some stage on either one of the days and this year was no different. Just before play started the heavens opened with some very heavy showers causing alot of casual water around the place and casual golf also.
The groups were as follows



For some teeing off in such prestigious company was just too much and their nerves got the better of them.....Poor auld Turlough



It soon dried out and gave way to some bright sunshine and windy weather. Needless to say the wind also played havoc with some peoples golf..Spot the guys up on the hill on the right hand side...This is the hole where Phil,PJ and Rob were attacked by an auld one, while her husband sat in shame on the tee box behind us.....I suppose you could see her point

The eleventh in Athlone Golf Club...What a hole..


Spot the boys on the hill......
