Dan: Winner of The 2000 Cornawilla Cup!

In The Millenium Year 2000 we decided to play the competition over a three day period at the Deer Park GC in Howth, Co. Dublin. which advertised a Hotel/Golf package at a very reasonable rate. After a memorable last day which saw Peter shooting a Ten in a sandtrap and Ned pencilling in the wrong scores, Dan edged ahead and won well!

Deer park is surely one of the most beautiful settings for a Golf Course anywhere on Earth, with a Castle, views of Dublin Bay, and over 2000 Rhodedendron bushes liberally sprinkled around the grounds! The golf is somewhat disorganised however and tee times should be re-checked daily. There also appears to be a community of "New Age Travellers" traipsing around the course which can be somewhat disconcerting for first time visitors.

Dan: Cornawilla Cup Champion 2000!

The 2001 Golfing Murtaghs : L to R: Peter, Brian, Ned, Dan and Jason!
The Murtaghs: Peter, Brian, Ned, Dan and Jason

Dan certainly showed a clean pair of heels on the final day and although a few stragglers got in his way from time to time, he kept a cool head and in the end was a deserving winner! All in all Year 2000 was a very good golfing experience.
