Major plans made at golf club AGM

December 2004

A building plan to carry out improvements to the clubhouse and other aspects of the golf club is presented to members of Greenore at the annual general meeting.

Altogether, the cost of the work is estimated at €500,000, with another €200,000 to €300,000 required to install a new water sprinkler system for the course.

Members opt for a phased approach and give the green light for a refurbishment of the clubhouse and extension of the greenkeeper’s shed to incorporate necessary facilities under health and safety regulations.

A five-year time span is envisaged to carry out the rest of the proposed elements of the plan which include extending the locker room and constructing a separate professional shop.

Oliver Dullaghan is installed as captain for 2005. Barney Carroll is vice-captain.

John Phillips is elected honorary secretary, and Colum Rafferty succeeds Kevin Gallagher as competition secretary. Kevin gives wonderful service and is largely responsible for implementing a new computer competition system.

Angela McParland continues as treasurer. Former captain Tony Eaton is elected to succeed Jim Daly as president.

The line-up for 2005 is: president, Tony Eaton; captain, Oliver Dullaghan; vice-captain, Barney Carroll; honorary secretary, John Phillips; competition secretary, Colum Rafferty; treasurer, Angela McParland.

Committee: Séamus McParland, Adrian Fegan, Patsy Winters, John Daly, Patrick Carron, Brian McKevitt, Kevin McKenna, Doris O’Hanrahan, Ethna Dowling, Marian Mullen (ex-officio), David Rafferty (ex-officio).
