Gold Coast Golf Club Notes 25th March 2019

 

Vincent Morrissey:

What a shock we all got on Saturday morning when we heard of the untimely passing of Vincent Morrissey. Vincent had worked in the Gold Coast as Manager for many years and was a very popular with all the staff and patrons of the hotel. He had a great talent with a camera and took many photos of the Golf Course and the resort and photos of presentations in the Gold Club. Our condolences to Zana Vincent’s family and the extended Morrissey family. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

 

John White Carpentry Winter League Final:

Copper Coast turn on the style to win back to back league titles. Match-play competitions like the winter league are often dependent on the draw and here the draw definitely favoured Copper Coast as the got off to a great start and kept the momentum going to eventually see off the challenge from Dunhill. As the Captain stated during the prize giving this year’s league was record breaking in the number of games played. Both teams in the final had contributed greatly to this and credit must go to the two team Captains, Liam Clancy and Tom White.

League Sponsor John White said that it was a pleasure for him to sponsor the league as the club meant so much to him and his family and he will hope to sponsor it again next year.

The addition of a lady to each team worked very well and hopefully next year more ladies will get involved.

Gold Coast Golf Club Notes 18th March 2019

Last of the Summer Wine

George Hogan, the last remaining member of the fourball, affectionately known as ‘the last of the summer wine’ passed on to his eternal reward on Saturday evening last. George was a member of the Club since it’s inception up to 2012. In 2013 he was invited as a special guest in the Captain’s Prize and President’s Prize.

From 1993 George, Tom Fennell and Paddy Hannigan were given the honour of starting off all the Captain’s Prizes and President’s Prizes. The fourth member of the morning fourball was Willie Barron.

In the early days of the Gold Coast Golf Club George was always available to help out the officers when they needed a helping hand or a piece of advice.

Our condolences to David, Kevin, Brendan and Lynda, Sons and daughter of George.

Also, condolences to the Kirwan family of Kill on the death of Ca Rocket, Ca was a sister to the late Tom Kirwan.

John White Carpentry Winter League Final:

It took from the last week in October to next Saturday to arrive at the final of this year’s league. We had record participation in the league section, thanks to the closeness of the competition and the accommodating weather and there is no doubt that the two teams in the final really deserve to be there. It should be a ding-dong battle and predicting the result would be very foolish without first seeing the individual pairings. Liam Clancy and Tom White will have their homework done and will have their respective teams well prepared for this match. Best of luck to both camps. The match starts at 9.00 a.m. on Saturday and following that both teams will dine in the Gold Coast and then the presentation will take place. Copper Coast team: Liam Clancy, Niall Curran, Liam Hansbury, Darren Power, Pa Queally, Ger Darcy, Colin McArthur, John McArthur, Leo Wall, Ian Pericho, Thomas Power, Joe Curran, Darren O’Droma in for the injured Freddie McGuckian and Rosie Murphy.

Dunhill team: Richard Walsh, John White, Michael Kavanagh, Micheal White, Tom Moore, John W Walsh, Pat Crowley, Maurice Swan in for Willie Flavin, Jack Moore, Alan Harty, John Queally, John Flynn, Paul O’Dea and Ruth Hannigan.

Michael White Memorial Foursomes:
