Playing the Slieve Russell shortly after the North West of Ireland Open, everybody found the course playing tough. Jean playing off 26 and Ruth playing off 16 returned 27 points, which was enough to book their place in the National Finals at Druid's Glen on the 1st of October.
Congratulations to Ruth Maguire (17) and Patrick Comerford (6) who finished 3rd in the Grand Final of the Spar-Irish Independent Mixed Pairs at Golf del Sur, Tenerife, in November 2000, with rounds of 46 in the scramble, 31 in the foursomes and 67 in the singles. This is an unique tournament with the first six holes played as a scramble, the next six as foursomes and the last six as singles, in the National rounds. The same format is retained for the Grand Finals over three rounds.
