Vice Captain’s, Declan Kennedy Appreciation.

I would like to thank Club Captain Jim Ryan for nomination me as his Vice Captain.  It’s a great honor to be asked to captain your golf club and one that I accepted gladly.  I will try to continue the great work provided by Jim and all past Captains.  I would also like to thank my wife Brenda for all her support and encouragement that she provides to me in all the decisions I make.  Next year will be the challenging year for me, but I know I have great people around me who can guide and assist me to fulfil my roles and duties.  Presently we have a wonderful strong dedicated committee who work tirelessly behind the scenes planning and organising everything for the benefit of the Club and its members.  We are now coming into a new phase in Templemore Golf.  The Club now have its own autonomy that will allow us to plan, for the future with greater certainty. The benefit of acquiring our own autonomy creates challenges and new responsibilities, but I’m sure with the people involved in this golf club they will be accomplished.

Before I start thanking people, I would first like to mention members who have recently passed on, Joe O’Connor and PJ Leahy come to mind.  They have provided the club with great memories, and they are very much missed and especially this week.  I would like to thank Dinny Maher for all his long hours and effort in getting the course in pristine condition for this weekend.  Also, Tom McGrath, Michael Webster, and Liam Leahy. The competition committee, Sean Lee, Les Mason, Declan Russell and Mick Keely who worked tirelessly and had everything running smoothly for the weekend, you made it very easy for me, thank you.  This weekend would not have been a success only for the effort that all the members gave in playing in such exceptionally hot (+30) conditions, a very big thank you to all for taking part in the competition.  I want to congratulate all the winners of the Vice Captains, especially the winner Ned Delaney, a young golfer to watch!! Ned had a magnificent score of 77 Gross and 64 Net, just pipping three seasoned players who had 65 Net.  Overall, it was a very enjoyable weekend, and I would again like to thank all who contributed to making this a great weekend of Golf.  Yours truly, Declan Kennedy
