Gary Hurley to play at Sawgrass

There have been many highlights in this young lad’s career to date at both National and International level.  The crowning glory will arrive shortly when Gary will represent his country at the Junior Players Invitational Championship at Sawgrass in the United States.  Only two players from Ireland have been chosen to participate in this major event and have no doubt Gary will do his family, his club and his country proud.  On the home front Gary finished a very creditable fifth in the Irish Boys Amateur Close competition at Dungarvan Golf club last week.
