Peter
takes our first 'Major' in style
Woodbrook was once again the venue for
the PRTV Society President's Prize outing on Monday 3rd July. The
heavy hitters were here in force, hoping to kick off Irish Open week
with a good performance. Scoring would suggest there were a number
of those, but it was Arklow's Peter Rea
who took top spot with 39pts, gallantly chased home by last year's
winner Des Long on 38 and the 2015 champion, Aidan Butler on 36. A
class podium you will agree.
The course was again in superb condition and the day just perfect
for golf, and as befits this occasion, members turned out in large
numbers, to play this popular venue and pay homage to our esteemed
President, Ian P.Corr.
Although not playing golf anymore, Ian has lost none of his oratory
skills and was in top form during the post prandial 'State of the
Society' address.
Guests of honour were former Shamrock Rovers & Man.United legend
Harry Lennon, former Irish Press and Goal legend John O'Shea, and
current RTE Golf Society President and PRTV legend Tommy Olin.
We are grateful to Woodbrook for their warm and friendly hospitality
down through the years, and continued this year, to the hard working
greenkeepers for the wonderful and challenging course, to our good
friend Michael Silke for his assistance with the array of prizes,
and not forgetting the catering team for a really delicious meal,
served with professional efficiency and smiles. A super golf course,
a delicious meal, convivial company, what more could you ask for ?
