Christmas Outing & End of Year Party

On Monday 12th December, The Royal Dublin Golf Club once again was the venue for our traditional end-of-season outing and Christmas party. The members of the PRTV Society and their guests were out in force, hoping to post a score good enough to win one of the hampers on offer or take home the Brendan McKenna Trophy for overall victory. The synthetic mats were again in use to assist with fairway protection but they had little or no impact on the winning performance. In cold breezy conditions which particularly impacted play on the Back 9, Brendan O'Farrell showed his class by outscoring his playing partner Mick Daly over the testing closing holes to claim the overall prize on a countback. The photo above shows Noreen McKenna presenting the Trophy to Brendan while the PRTV Society Captain Pat O'Donovan looks on. The Matchplay Final was also decided and the 2011 Champion is Myles Cronan, who saw off the challenge of Michael Farrell, closing out a well contested match on the 17th.
As is customary, the continued support of our sponsors and benefactors was rightly recognised by Captain Pat as he welcome everyone to the dinner and prizegiving, after which we were treated to another memorable evening of music and song by Aonghus McAnally, Ronan Collins & Eddie Finlay, ably assisted by Jim Doherty on the sound. This annual event is eagerly anticipated by members and partners alike, we sincerely thank Royal Dublin for having us back year after year, and we look forward to returning next year, when the PRTV will celebrate 50 years in existence, no doubt in its own inimitable style.
