The golf season kicked off with the traditional Drive in on Sunday 19th February.
The traditional Drive-in took place on Sunday 19th February at 2pm and was kindly sponsored by Gleeson’s Town House and Restaurant. Three riveting and lengthy drives were taken under the pressure of crowds and cameras by President Gerry Keegan, Captain John Cunningham and Lady Captain Marina Dolan. Spectators and members watched on as their drives soared down the fairway off the first tee getting the golfing season off to a flying start. With a staggering 117 members taking part in the scramble which commenced immediately after the Drive-in the atmosphere on the golf club grounds was electric. Teams of three headed up the course to their designated tee boxes and anticipated the shot gun start. The weather was as good as one could wish for at this time of year and the two winning teams brought in fantastic scores. At 6.00pm President Gerry Keegan, Captain John Cunningham and Lady Captain Marina Dolan presided over the presentation of prizes and thanked Mr. Eamonn Gleeson for sponsoring the scrambe. They all expressed their hopes for a great golfing year.
