Golf club pays tribute to prominent members who passed away
Tom Byrne and Maura Morrison were former Presidents
Two notable members of Clonmel Golf Club died recently; Tom Byrne, who was buried in Screen, Co. Wexford on Tuesday of last week and Maura Morrison, who sadly passed away on Sunday morning.
Tom Byrne was President of Clonmel Golf Club in 2008. He worked tirelessly on many projects over a long number of years at the club and he continued to contribute his time and expertise to the course drainage works right up to his passing. Tom will be sadly missed by his many friends and the general membership at the club.
To his wife Mary and his children Aidan, Kevin and Deirdre all at the Clonmel club offer their sincere condolences at this sad time.
Maura Morrison was a member of the club for a long number of years and she occupied many roles at the club. She was Lady Captain in 1994, Lady President in 1998 and Club President in 2006. Each of these roles she took on with great dedication and passion.
Maura immersed herself in club life and was the welcoming face of the golf club to members and visitors alike. Due to Maura’s outstanding dedication and commitment to Clonmel Golf Club over the years she was bestowed the title of Honorary Life member in 2015, joining her late husband Dr. Jim Morrison, who received the same honour in 2013.
Condolences are extended to her daughters Rachel, Celestine, Sylvia, Mary and Paula and sons Edward, James, John and Peter and her many grandchildren, extended family and her large circle of friends.
