The contest started in front of the Lighthouse on Sullivan’s Island with the individual taking the least amount of strikes to get their sioltar to the end of the beach being declared the winner. The competition was won by club superstar Brandon Callahan who needed only 26 strikes to cover the distance and claim the coveted Cú Chulainn belt. The runner up with 29 strikes was last years champion Ryan Finn, while Daniel Smollon and Patrick Chaussard tied for third at 35.
