Annual Golf Outing
Once again, the Deer Park Golf Club in Howth was the spectacular setting for our annual golf evening. Members and guests enjoyed a round of golf while our beginners had a lesson from the golf pro before adjourning to the Deer Park Hotel for a scrumptious three-course dinner and our Awards ceremony. Indeed, some enjoyed the evening so much they booked in for the night and played another round of golf in the morning! Marian Wallace placed first while Ada Kelly and Orla Graham tied for second. Christina Wilson won the prize for best beginner and Mary Kane hit the best shot out of the rough. We are very grateful to Margaret Kavanagh and AIB for sponsoring the awards and goodie bags. And a special thank you to Shirley Finnerty of Goughs Howth for the 1st prize of a specially designed and handcrafted gold and precious stone pendant depicting Deer Park with an accompanying photo which provided the inspiration for the pendant. Goughs Howth have just introduced a new product fusing jewellery and photography and the results are spectacular.
