Treasurer banks President's Prize
Switching the President's Day from the heretofore traditional May date to early September proved a real winner for the PRTV Golf Society this year. By reaping the benefit of the preceding warm summer months, the Lisheen Springs was in magnificent condition, something which could also be said of John Foley's golf game. Despite a reduction in GUI h/cap which also applied to his Society h/cap before play commenced, John responded positively by returning the winning score of 40pts to claim Ian Corr's President's Prize, finishing 2pts clear of his nearest challengers Mick Daly, Eddie Hearns and home Club member Michael Farrell.
Golf is but one of the ingredients of a successful golfing day. Post round socialising coupled with the President's eagerly awaited after dinner speech adds much enjoyment to the occasion and so it proved once again. Those suffering from sesquipedalophobia had nothing to fear this time as Ian fondly revisited rounds of golf that, like Wordsworth's daffodils, regularly flash upon his inward eye, and where he is still off single figures. He was also full of praise for the excellent work of the Kavanagh family since the formation of Lisheen Springs and thanked them for hosting the PRTV once more. We are fortunate that one of our major events should be played on this testing golf course, arguably in its best ever condition, and we look forward to returning again in 2015.
