Templemore Golf Club, 2025 Drive-in, Captain Sean Lee, Club President Mary Fitzpatrick, Lady Captain Helen Hayes, Competition Secretary Tom McGrath, Club Chaplin Fr Domonic Meehan.
Drive-in.
9/3. The club could not have wished for a better weather day. It was exceptional, the best day of the year with blue skies. It gave the ambiance of a day in the Algarve. Perhaps it was the sprinkle of holy water by Fr. Domonic that cleared the heavens for a fantastic day of golf. The turnout of players competing was a record. The course was in exceptional condition thanks to our green keepers Pat Shelly and Dinny Maher, despite the constant plague of inclement weather. Master of ceremonies were Hon. Competition Secretary Tom McGrath. Best wishes were extended by all to incoming Captain Sean Lee, Inaugural Club 1st. Lady President under the new “One Golf For All” Mary Fitzpatrick and the incoming Lady Captain Helen Hayes. Also, to all the volunteers that helped out on the day.
