The early starters were greeted by a summer mist drifting off a serene Lough Erne as they got underway this morning, hoping not to see their ball disappear beyond it where a watery grave awaited, as the fabulous surroundings of Lough Erne Golf Resort provided the latest test in the Irish Golfer Event Series.
With competitors travelling from as far afield as Wexford, Limerick, Dublin and Sligo to take on the course designed by Nick Faldo it proved a tough test of golf, while the laughter and craic was abundant on the first tee and again in the clubhouse apres golf.
