Maiden victory for new boy Martin
There must be something in the south Dublin air which brings out the very best in our debut year members. Following in the footsteps of last year's winner Peter Kennedy, Martin Clancy also registered his first win with the PRTV Society at Lisheen Springs when he edged out Brian Moran on a countback after both players returned scores of 37pts in breezy and showery conditions. The course was presented in great condition and lived up to its championship reputation. The backdrop of Kippure and surrounding hills, vibrant with summer colour, perfectly complimented the rolling parkland and the picturesque scenery brought to mind Ben Hogan's reminder to make sure to smell the roses as you walk the fairways of life as you only get to play one round, but fortunately we get to stroll the Lisheen fairways again next year.
We are once more indebted to the Kavanagh family and thank them for their hospitality and a special thanks to Alan and his crew for keeping us well fed and watered before and after the golf.
