Ex Officio takes PGA Tankard
Twenty nine degrees, balmy sirocco winds, beautiful fairways and magnificent greens are a golfer’s dream. Could this be Spain ?, or maybe Portugal ?, or even Florida? No, this was Hermitage Golf Club, on a fabulous July Monday, hosting the annual PGA Tankard outing oe the Press Radio & TV Society at this splendid Lucan venue. The condition of the course had the downside of bringing every hazard into play and most players’ bunker skills were tested on the day. Staying out of the Liffey wasn't any easier either.
It was a day that separated the men from the boys or rather the MAN from the boys! The man was Tommy Olin who returned an outstanding 44 points to outclass his baffled pursuers by a staggering eight strokes. While their 36pts would have comfortably won here in other years, our captain John O’Sullivan, Brian Kelly and Michael Doherty had to be content with lesser rankings this time. The Captain was effusive in praising Hermitage on the condition of their course and looked forward to returning next year.
Best wishes to our doughty representative, Tommy, when he competes in the Master Tankard competition later in the year.
