Result of 18-Hole V Par Oct 15 & 17: 1st Mary Corkery (23) 2 up, 2nd Bride O’Brien (23) 1 up, 3rd Moira Lynott (17) A/S CLUB President Breda Duggan, Club Captain Derry McCarthy and Lady Captain Sheila Crowley will welcome Paul McGinley when he arrives at Killarney Golf Club this Thursday, when he will be presented with the highest accolade the Club can bestow - Honorary Life Membership. The function begins at 6pm and many former Club Presidents, Captains, and existing Honorary Life Members will be present.
This award was offered to Paul in December 2014 by then Club President, Denis Cronin, just months after Paul, as Team Captain, had led his European Team to victory in the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in Scotland. Denis had previously met with Paul on a number of occasions, the first in Killarney in January 1993 when Denis was the Club Captain for the Club’s Centenary year. An exhibition/challenge match was arranged to mark the occasion, and Paul, who was partnered by Philip Walton, defeated John McHenry and Eoghan O’Connell by 68 strokes to 71 strokes.
McGinley graciously accepted the award in January 2015, when his name was added to the list of Honorary Life Members. Denis was also present when Paul and Padraig Harrington famously defeated Tiger Woods and Davis Love III at Oakland Hills U.S.A. in the 2004 Ryder Cup by 4/3 after they had gone two down after two holes against the Americans. Denis has Paul’s golf glove as a treasured memento of the occasion.
McGinley’s career includes Ryder Cup successes in 2002, 2004 and 2006, when the Ryder Cup was played at the K Club. In 2002 he holed the winning putt on the 18th green in his match against Jim Furyk at The Belfry. Paul remains undefeated in his singles matches in the Ryder Cup.
He has also won nine tournaments worldwide, which includes his winning partnership with Padraig Harrington in the World Cup of Golf at the Ocean Course, Kiawah Island in 1993.
Harrington is also an Honorary Life Member of Killarney Golf and Fishing Club since 2010.
