Fermoy Golf Club in Co Cork has achieved a very rare, if not unique event in recent weeks. The three 2019 officers, Aileen Ryan Lady Captain, Denis Crowley Men’s Captain and President Paudie Scanlon each scored a hole in one within a ten day window of each other. “There has been great excitement in Fermoy Golf Club over the past number of weeks. I had a hole in one on the 2nd hole in the Men’s Captain’s Prize Day, Paudie Scanlon had a hole in one on the 11th hole and not to be left out, Denis Crowley followed with a hole in one on the 8th green!” explained Aileen Ryan, Lady Captain of Fermoy Golf Club. “We felt as a club, that we needed to celebrate this achievement in some way and so The All Ireland Hole in One Challenge was born!”
