Fitzy fires ace at Dromoland par four

DROMOLAND Castle Golf Club officials have revealed Waterford senior hurling boss Davy Fitzgerald struck a stunning hole-in-one at a par four hole recently.

Former Clare goalkeeper Fitzgerald joined an elite golfing club with an ace at the 266-yard par-four 15th after hitting a four-wood off the tee.

Dromoland secretary/manager John O’Halloran estimated that over a dozen holes-in-one have been recorded at par 3 holes since the spectacular Co Clare course was redeveloped 18 years ago but he believes that this was the first time it’s been done at a par four there.

O’Halloran said: “Davy has been a member here for 15 years. He has played everything from Pierce Purcell Shield, Junior Cup to Senior Cup. He’s an excellent player with a great attitude and if he was ever to take the game up as a professional, I could see him going all the way.”
