Where do you start? A truly momentous day of celebration with our members and friends. I suppose we should set the scene; the weather was perfect for golf with little or no wind and mild temperatures. The course presented a most difficult challenge, particularly the fast greens12 on the stimpmetre combined with tricky pin positions.
Congratulations Miguel and your team, the course is an absolute credit to you all. Our competition president Camillus, Terry and Philip again had everything running smoothly and efficiently. Go raibh maith agaut.In the golf shop Jean, Karolina and Michael, thank you for looking after our members and visitors.
Fina was on duty today and we would like to thank her and her companions for always having a kind word.
At our dinner dance we had 100 members and guests who were treated to a night of merriment. In the bar we had Gloria, Brian and Vanessa providing our libations. What can we say about Marijose and the kitchen staff, they out done themselves with the array of food and the quality.
