Thurles Golf Club news and fixtures

PRESIDENT’S DRIVE-IN

Well its official, the Thurles Golfing season is officially open following our Captains’ and Presidents Drive In. On Sunday 27th President Mary Coman O’Neill along with Captains Lorraine O’Keeffe and Thomas Maguire heralded the new golfing season.

Piped to the 10th Tee by Moycarkey- Borris man John Moloughney and surrounded by friends, well-wishers and fellow golfers each struck the ball straight and true. Of course each of them are well used to playing in front of crowds having represented the Club at various levels.

Not to be outdone, our two Junior Captains, Michelle Flanagan and Jack Cashin also showed the way.

This year promises to be the best year yet for our Juniors with strong membership numbers at all ages. Tuition and competitions will start again very shortly. So, if any young person would like to take up golf, feel free to contact the office or either of our two Junior Captains, we would be delighted to hear from you.

It was great to be back in the clubhouse for food and banter after a shot gun mixed champagne scramble.

What a great start to the year!
