Ballinhole open day 27

Sat Sep 05, 2026 1:09 pm

Major shocks arrived at the 145th Ballinhole Open at the Titty Grounds today, delayed by a few hours when his driver developed dysentery and had to be replaced temporarily by the chauffeur of Colonel Surprises.

Military maneuvers and excursions aside, the long running saga of this year's Open appears no closer to conclusion after the governing body's controversial decision to switch the tournament to using balls larger than the holes.

Despite whacking a par 5 eagle on the first hole in record time, ballinhole world champion Fugal Horne remains tied to every other competitor on a firm +0 after 0 holes, with no amount of scissoring likely to allow any to break free.
