After 50 years, Titleist sponsored Mid West Alliance still going strong

When it was founded in 1964, the Mid West Alliance had a very modest objective; to provide low handicappers in North Munster and South Connacht with an opportunity to remain ‘competitively sharp’ during the winter months. 

Forty-seven golfers took part in the first outing at a blustery Lahinch Old and was won by a teenager, Ivan Morris (Limerick) with a score of 76 gross from Vincent Nevin (Ennis) and a popular golfer known as “The Stylist” - Peter O’Connor (cousin of Christy Senior and Junior who was the resident pro at Dromoland) on the same mark.
