SHANNON’s Danny Brennan recorded his first professional win on the course in which he honed his skills.
On Thursday, Danny was crowned the winner of the Dr William Flynn Memorial Pro-Am at Shannon Golf Club.
He was presented with the trophy by Dr Peter Flynn. He had previously come through the ranks of the junior golf section of Shannon Golf Club.
“Thursday was such an incredible day,” he recounted. Danny said he was “so happy to get my first professional win here. What a place to grow up and learn to play golf”.
