THE newly appointed captain of the Dublin Journalists Golf Society - racing broadcaster Denis Kirwan of Touchline/Meridian Media - had the first outing of his 2018 captaincy at the Laytown and Bettystown links this week. It was won in impressive fashion by Conor O’Hehir, who is a member of RTÉ’s racing production team. Conor fired in a superb two over par round of 73 - 38 stableford points off a 4 handicap.

He is the son of racing journalist Peter O’Hehir and one of the many talented young members of Naas Golf Club.
