The Annual Golf Outing was held in glorious sunshine at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club on Thursday, 17 September. There was the usual strong field of seasoned players and, given the difficulty of the course, all the hot money was on one of the Dun Laoghaire members to seize the Claret Jug. Local members included Mary Cryan, Alan Dixon, Liam Kelleher, Martin McCarthy and Malachy Scally and accounted for almost half the total field. Liam almost did it with a great score of 36 Points but he was pipped at the post by Lisheen Falls member, Gerry Morrissey with a whopping 38 Points. Rathfarnham’s Gillian O’Donnell was third with 29 points. The other players, not already mentioned, were Peter Bennett, Don Briggs, Karen Rothwell and John McGuire. After the game, all dined safely outside watching the dusk descend on the mountains in the distant landscape while quaffing their favourite beverage to replenish the body and mind after a great test of golf enjoyed in wonderful company.
