Collins wins at Co.Meath
With this year's Captain's Day just around the corner, the traditional President's Prize outing has been moved from its regular spot on the calendar to an Autumn date to give a more balanced look to the fixtures. Nevertheless, the Society turned out in force on Tuesday 13th May at Co.Meath Golf Club for our annual visit, where 4 players tied the top score of 38pts. The countback system was called for once again before big hitting Michael Collins was declared the winner by virtue of the best inward half over Mick Daly, Brian Kelly and Peter Rea.
Conditions were near perfect with just the occasional passing shower keeping the dust down. Signs of Spring were all around, from baby rabbits familiarising themselves with their new surroundings to the solitary swan practising take-offs and landings on the pond at the 2nd hole. Flowering gorse provided the perfect backdrop to this well presented golf course, as everything at Trim contributed in no small measure to the ovderall enjoyment of yet another great PRTV day.
Although there was no Presidential speech to entertain us, Captain Paddy introduced a new concept to the prizegiving - delegation. Rather than delay proceedings, he commissioned Tom McGrane & Brian Moran to announce the results as he himself tucked into a culinary delight from the restaurant menu, and a super job they both did if truth be told. Nice one Paddy.
