Seniors’ Party
The Senior Golfers had a very enjoyable function on Thursday last when the members turned out in force to honour the late John Gilmartin who did so much to promote and develop the Thursday Senior Golfers. Michael Ashe and Michael Liffey thanked all for attending and had a special welcome for John’s wife Roma and their family. Nigel and his staff served up a splendid meal which put the large attendance in the mood for an eclectic range of music and song. Richie Burke and Pat Conlon were a joy to listen to throughout the evening as all tastes were catered for and even WB Yeats got an outing.
Over the evening many tributes were paid to John who, during the course of seven decades, contributed enormously to the development of golf in the Glenns. Ní bheidh a leithéeid arís ann.
