CAPTAINS DRIVE-IN

Sunday, 3rd April was a very exciting day in Cahir Park for the captains and president and all club members who enjoyed a Straight Scramble in brilliant sunshine and great humour. Golf was followed by sumptuous food, lively music and rapturous conversati­ons.

President Pauline Mulcahy welcomed all in attendance and introduced captains Gary Morrison, Margaret Gill and Ellen Farrell who presented the prizes which were very kindly sponsored by Noel Hally Building Contractor. Everyone was very compliment­ary of the course which is in superb condition and the catering and competitio­ns committee.
